What Is Your Rated 100% Range?

[hemiarch]

I am currently at 51k miles and my max range at 100% is stated as 297miles I believe. I charge to 100% about 8-10 times a month as I do long 400 mile rnd trips to the ranch every weekend (100% to get there, 100% to get back). Daily charge at the house is only to 80%. Over the last 20 months or so owning the truck I would guess I have charged it to 100% maybe 150 times give or take. So far so good!

Yeah. Having owned a free supercharging x since 2016 I can tell you anecdotally that 100% charging and supercharging don’t affect range nearly as much as people think.

Literally just went and charged to 100% to ensure my quote of 297miles was accurate and it wasn’t, it was actually 301miles. And I unplugged when it was still “calculating” so it likely is a bit more than 301. After charging 150+ times to 100% over 20 or so months, I agree with you the fear around the battery degradation is totally overrated. At this rate and still charging 8-10times a month to 100%, after 150k miles I would expect to still see 270miles estimated range minimum. Pic from few minutes ago attached

315 miles rated range @ 16,850 miles and 19 months since vehicle build. Actual efficiency usually a bit higher. 2024 FS.

Need to know what is the most efficient setup would be for a new CT in Q2 2026?

I drive a 250 mile commute each way around 4 times each week. My 22YLR nor 23XLR wouldn't make it going 55-60mph for 120 miles and 70mph on remaining 130 miles. Best case I would park at our hospital for work with 15-20 miles remaining and both models would phantom drain down to 5 miles or less and I had cameras off.

I traded for 2023 R1T Max dual with 100% at 369 miles on BFG KO3 A/T and it makes the commute much less stressful with 30-50miles remaining depending on temperatures and winds.

Can I trust a new CT with the most efficient battery and tires for the 250 mile commute? The above parameters won't change. I stick with speed limits and shortest route.

Absolutely love the demos of the CT I've taken and considering switching from R1T.

More questions??
1) Most professional Tesla dealer around Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas or Missouri? Memphis was horrible and not able to answer basic questions in 22 and 23.

2) Tight parking spots at hospitals and busy college town. How difficult to park CT? Would it auto park safely?

3) Typically drive my work commute in the dark, how bad are the headlights?

Appreciate any and all advice

At least on the AWD, my experience is it gets very close to the 318 miles when going 70 mph on the interstate. If you're driving at lower speeds, then you'll have no problem doing 250. This is on the OEM AT tires (not AS ones). The 2024 and newer Tesla's get what is estimated, or very close, vs. the older Tesla's that would get anywhere from 15-25% less range than stated.

In regards to parking, it's super easy compared to other cars in regards to door dings. Any other car, I'm looking for end caps or parking further away. With the Cybertruck, you can jam it in anywhere. The biggest issue is making sure you don't damage other cars! The auto park, especially with FSD doing it, has been great. It may take 1-2 more manuverers to get it into a spot, but it always gets there.

Obviously having the car drive you to and from is the game changer. Can't stress enough how great it is! On a long trip like that everyday, you'll get there so relaxed, stress free, and ready to go.

don’t charge to 100% (65% is my daily limit) but I’ve gotten 185+ miles of highway driving on just under half of a charge = 370+ miles of real-world range at 100% in the right conditions on my AWD with all terrains. YMMV

Appreciate the input. The 2022 Y and 2023 X would deplete range with temperatures in the 30s and would be forced to charge 30 miles prior to arrival for work. I'm in surgery so I don't have time to pull over on the majority of my commutes. I know the experts say not to charge to 100% but it was needed to even have a chance at 250 miles on 100% charge.

Have they not designed batteries that won't weaken when consistently charged to 100% especially if you don't leave it parked at 100%?

I'm hopeful I will be able to rent the AWD for three days to test the commutes.

You probably knew about this already but in case you hadn’t used it before:

You can certainly test-drive (or rent) a Cybertruck to explore its driving dynamics (which are superb).

But Lithium battery chemistries haven't meaningfully changed since your 2022 Model Y and 2023 Model X. You're going to have the same challenges, especially during the winter.

The Cybertruck's 123 kWh pack is bigger. But so is the vehicle itself.

EV infrastructure will eventually improve. Batteries will get better. But that day is not yet.

Mine has apparently gone up slightly. Charged too 100% last night.
100% =509Km =316.2779 Miles

 

[65SoYoLO]

I noticed no matter what the total range is when I charge, the actual miles are not near that distance..

 

[OUTLAW]

293 after 18 months. Beast

 

[kpanda17]

the Tesla energy app shows the truth, if your a heavy foot, the wh/mile will be high and range will be low, watch your behavior, MPG is not a heavy foot

The Cybertruck uses Tesla's new 4680 cells that are made completely in house by them in Austin. The have no Silicone in them, and have shown very little to no degradation for most people. There have been a few people with high-mileage ones that have mostly supercharged to 100% and are also reporting very little degradation. This, along with more accurate range estimates, especially at higher speeds, makes a material improvement over the other pre-2024 Tesla models.

Of all the Tesla's I've owned and can "drive" daily (including a 2023 Model S Plaid and a 2024 Model 3 AWD), I always go for the Cybertruck. I say "drive" since it's on FSD 99% of the time now. Not sure why, but it's really something special. Oh, and I'm a speed guy who ALWAYS loved to drive (always owned stick shifts), never a truck (although Jeeps and big SUVs), etc. You have to try it, or better yet, live with it over a few days, for you to truly understand.

I think your mile margins will be a little close for comfort based on conditions. These previous vehicles you listed are 340m+, CT is 310 at best if you’re maxing the battery use. If you change to 80%your mileage will be ~ 265-275. Add winter…

Regarding parking, rear wheel steering is great, you feel and maneuver like a sedan, however the footprint of the CT remains large.

Lights are dim, for me, if you are in an area without ample lighting, you sound like you reside in a rural area? There are aftermarket solutions for this if you need however.
