Diesel is just incredibly energy dense bro the cybertruck pulls harder maintains higher speeds but for way short distances because its energy density in the battery is low and it takes forever to charge up. The diesel takes off slower but when youre going 70 all day long across the country you want the range to be up there and the refill times to be quick.

Love the point of view at the end. I think people need to embrace all things to allow technology to advance and with time we will have more capable EVs. I drive a Jeep truck daily and haul a small camper for trips. When I get a new truck In the next couple years I think the cyber truck is pretty awesome but wonder would it work for my real life situation? I have a suggestion: Both trucks towing something like a 3-5000k lb camper (same weight for both trucks) and average camping gear in the bed for payload. Have both trucks doing the same 500-1000 mile road trip emulating real world travel/camping with both making the same planned overnight stops. Driving the actual speed limit (not racing to the destinations). Just driving like you would on a regular trip while towing. Then break down all the math. The fuel truck: how many stops to fill up with total mileage/ fuel cost and time spent filling up. Ease to fill up. The Cyber truck: how many stops for charging, time spent, cost to charge and ease to find charging station… for a real life typical road trip (I wonder would charging in between destinations be easy or cause a lot of anxiety?) That way we can see fuel vs electric for a realistic travel towing situation. I am curious how they will compare in a typical truck use situation with some longer range travel and not just being loaded to the max and going fast. I also would love to see the features of both trucks while camping. Maybe there will be many pros and cons to both trucks! 🧐

For towing, Superchargers require you to back the cyber truck in, That means you'll have to remove the trailer in order to charge the EV. Not the best experience, but they'll iron those details out down the road.

Do a test where you tow the cybertruck using a tow strap (all four wheels on the pavement) using the 5500 at highway speeds and see how long it takes to get a full charge using only regen braking, and how much diesel the 5500 uses doing it.

@@jamescreekmore3855 Depends, the supposed "dangers" of towing an EV is simply over charging it if you tow them long enough on a full battery. But that only really applies to very old EV's (or very very cheap ones) as most modern EV's just open the circuit when the battery is full or near full. Which basically means the motors turn freely without resistance and without generating power. It's also the reason why you lose regenerative braking when on full battery. So no, it's not a bad idea, not with a Tesla. At least not more so than flat towing in general, though with EV's you also don't have to worry about damaging the drivetrain on AWD variants, like the case with most ICE cars.

@markadler8968 My service truck is a Ram 2500 cummins with a Miranda box on it with my tools and and materials in it. It's by far the best option for me as the box with its kit can be easily swapped out on to another truck. The fuel economy isn't horrible for somting its size and weight. The 4x4 in winter is a nessassary as I don't have time to shovel out parking spots down town. I have a Sprinter as well. I'm dissipointed with it. It's really expensive for what is, basically a high roof regular 2 wheel drive delevery van. Out of the fleet the sprinters have the worst maintenance record. They are really bad in the winter as far as getting in and out of snow banks. I also have an E-Transt. It's head and shoulders over the sprinter as far as toughness and technology go. The bolt in points on the Transit are far more solid than the sprinter. The sprinters racking actually pulled the factory nuts right out of the ribs. The transit also requires virtually no maintenance. It's only MAJOR downfall is the range. In good weather you get 250kms in cold winter conditions that gets cut in half. My Ram is a Long Horne so... it costs what it costs, my truck, my toy I don't care 🤣 . A new Sprinter base model is around 70k about what I paid for the E-Transit. If I got a base model Ram it would be around what the sprinter is but 4 times the truck. The Miranda box is a one time cost so I don't count it in equation. In my experience the Sprinters were ok back in the day when they were 500$ a month as that offset the ridiculous MB maintenance costs. BTW, get rid of all of them before the warranty is up. Especially the Sprinter, they can generate horrific repair bills.

If I can get 350 to 450 kms a day out of the CT it would be an excellent option for me. I would still keep the Ram for long trips and trailer hauling. Both the Etransit and the Sprinter are not good for towing. Never even tried it with the ETransit as we all know how horrific that would be. The Sprinter is barley adequate to carry the stuff in it. Towing a trailer boom with it was no fun at all. I think it all comes down to what you need it for. If the Etransit hand a 400km range in cold weather, the Sprinter would have been gone long ago.

The people who don't care about range because they can charge at home....those are the millions of people EV's are perfect for. Even when counting road trips, the average american drives 39 miles per day, or 14,000 miles per year. 270ish miles of range for $6 is hard to beat. Also waking up to a pre-cooled or prewarmed and charged car every day is pretty sweet as well. For towing or long distances over 400 miles a day, don't pick an EV.

Wait till the winter time you had to charge it twice to get to the top!!!

Pull a boat up to Jordanelle Reservoir and back home. I'm curious if it can make a basic boating trip here in Utah. It would also be nice to see how long it took to get to Bull Frog vs the other truck that just needs to fill up while pulling a boat or a load of similar weight. You should include launching too.

Towing races seems like a weird test. The end of the video sounds like most other EV owners argument "Once the infrastructure is there"...that could realistically take decades

Everyone seems to forget all these charging stations get their power from mostly fossil fuel power plants. There aren't enough power plants now to supply the power needed, and they aren't building any new ones lately. Where is all this power going to come from? Renewable energy is a joke. What happens when there's no wind blowing that day? What happens when it rains for three days? Solar panels are only 35 percent efficient! EV's are the biggest scam on the American public. People need to do their homework and find the answers themselves and not just take the word of some politicians!

I think your final statement was the best, about making room for both EV and ICE. Really cool video, I do wonder what it does to the battery pack having it discharge so quick, but time will tell.

1) Howe many sheets of plywood can you load into the bed of the cyber "truck" compared to the Ram? 2) If you completely max out the battery of the cyber "truck", how do you get a container of electricity back to the vehicle so you can get home? 3) How long before the battery of a cyber "truck" gives out and needs to be replaced, and at what cost? The Ram will keep trucking past 300,000 miles or more, depending on how well it is maintained.

Great video. Two issues that came to mind are that you beat the diesel by a minute or so up the hill, he would beat the Tesla by hours on a trip that required charging. The other thought is how do you pull up to a charging station with a trailer? The only chargers that I have seen, and there aren't many, require you to pull into a single vehicle slot.

I’d appreciate you sharing details on getting 37’s on that CT. Spacers? Lift? Cutting some trim?

When the technology gets better and less expensive, I definitely think about converting my 2006 Caddy. The only thing is that I need 350 miles range to be able to get to New Hampshire Motor Speedway and back home without stopping. It's about 156 miles one way, and the guys up here only got 110 miles range on his BMW from Brunswick Maine. He's doing it for about 50k for fab and installing I seen on local news channel show 207. His suspension was with Billstein shocks

I know those have power but the power it takes to get you where you gotta go I feel like I would get anxiety for stressing out when and where I gotta get another charge lol.

I have an 8’ bed. Fill it with the same volume and go to the dump, then hook up a 37’ fifth wheel toyhauler and drive 250 miles. I can do that without refueling, but if I did, the refuel would take 10 minutes. Determine kW/mile used and cost to “refuel” at a charging station, along with the time to recharge. Oh, and use air conditioning. Also, considering that my trailer tires are only rated for 75 MPH, and the speed limit is less than that, I tow at 60 MPH and get 10 MPG.

I would say the situation for a cyber truck that would fit perfectly would be for chores/light work around your home/property because since you're just driving around your property the low range shouldn't be too much of an issue considering you wouldn't be driving too far, and then you can just charge the vehicle when you're not using it if you have an at home charger. Considering how powerful the cybertruck is, it's perfect for this kind of work considering you won't really feel the downside of the low range that it has.
