Corresponding with the conveyance of its most memorable clump of 2024 Cybertrucks, Tesla uncovered more insights regarding its battery-electric pickup truck that proposals up to 845 drive and can tow as much as 11,000 pounds.
However, one thing was left off the truck’s specification sheet by the company: its battery limit. Luckily, our tech group is capable at sifting through information and tackling muddled numerical statements. Our team of number crunchers was able to deduce the—estimated—capacity of the multi-motor model’s battery pack after Tesla shared that the mid-level 600-horsepower Cybertruck all-wheel drive can travel an estimated 340 miles on a full charge while burning 42.9 kWh of electricity every 100 miles.
However, a few presumptions were required when calculating this number. Especially, we had to assume that Tesla had used the EPA’s methods to get these numbers. With that supposition made, we utilized information from our trial of a 2020 Tesla Model Y Execution as a source of perspective for guaranteeing the exactness of our gauge.
As our editors scribbled digits and formulas on the office white board, erased those digits and formulas, and then scribbled even more, a montage of numerals, notations, and equations was projected over their exhausted but determined mugs. Our editors finally reached a consensus after drinking cigarettes and brewing multiple cups of coffee: The Cybertruck all-wheel drive has a net battery capacity of between 125.0 and 130.0 kWh.
In any case, you need one explicit number, isn’t that so? In this way, for the good of contention, we should compromise and call it 127.5 kWh — or 128.0 kWh in the event that you lean toward an entire number.
Even though Tesla provided efficiency figures for the Cybertruck all-wheel drive, we are almost certain that the top-of-the-line Cybertruck Cyberbeast, which has 845 horsepower and has a range of 320 miles, uses the same battery pack.
Don’t worry if those range estimates are a little too low for your taste. An additional battery pack installed in the Cybertruck’s bed is Tesla’s available range extender. Selecting this thing pushes the Cybertruck all-wheel drive and Cyberbeast’s reaches more than 470 and 440 miles, individually, per Tesla. The organization gives no limit figure to the reach extender, nor have we crunched the numbers to sort it out. . .yet.
