has the look of an apocalyptic war wagon dreamed up in Minecraft, but don’t let that trick you into thinking it was designed solely to project an image. The stainless-steel trapezoid was also sculpted—or maybe chiseled—by the wind.
All that said, falling 30 percent short of the window-sticker number places the Cybertruck among the worst performers in our database of 56 EVs when it comes to the difference between advertised range andRoad-Trip range. We ran on the highway with the tonneau cover closed for optimum aerodynamics, but the privately owned Cybertruck we tested didn’t come with aero wheel covers. Tesla stopped delivering them after early customers discovered the covers were wearing away at the tire sidewalls.
The Tesla’s strong start faded as the power fell rapidly from its peak. Nine minutes after plugging in both trucks, the Cybertruck’s charging power dropped below that of the Rivian R1T Dual Motor Performance Max Pack, which reached its 216-kW peak 11 minutes in. The Rivian then sucked down more power for the next 31 minutes. A half hour after initiating charging, the R1T had added 158 miles of range while the Cybertruck had gained 146 miles.
