TeslaCybertruck battery capacity leaks as 123 kWh per showroom manager, worsening fears of mediocre range

[Redaktion]

A Tesla manager at a San Diego showroom has confirmed that the Cybertruck on show in his facility has a battery capacity of 123 kWh. Previous reports claimed a range of around 267 miles, falling woefully short of the promised 500-mile range. Based on the competition, 267–300 miles seems about right for that sort of battery capacity.

What Elmo lied? No way that's impossible

Absolutely ugly "thing". I would rather walk than buy this monstrosity.
Dream machine turns out to be a horrific pile of s!!t

I saw the truck in the showroom, and it's absolutely breathtaking.  It's going to be THE BEST selling truck for the next four years - FOR SURE!

I will wait for the REAL stats in 24 hours. My 76 KW battery takes me 357 miles. 123 kilowatts is an extra 47 KW. You apparently can NOT add. That is 61.842% MORE battery. That is 220 mile added to the 357 for a grand total of 577 miles. Basic math, and you come up with a grand total of 260? You are WAY off and you know it.  1 lie among many truths still make the article a lie. Stop writing articles for likes and clicks. Pure F.U.D.

They probably changed material of that arm... It looks flimsy anyway though.

Your model 3 or whatever that has a small 76kW battery is a smaller, lighter, more aerodynamic CAR not a 7,000 pound, angular/boxy, Truck - apparently someone skipped physics in high school...

Apparently they are pushing ahead with the car Homer Simpson designed after all. Who'd have thought.

The Rivian max battery size is 150kwh, not 180kwh.  Please update.

Article has been updated, thanks for pointing that out.

Well, right out the gate your article is debunked bc the 500 miles of range was quoted for the Tri-motor version that they aren't even building yet but nice try.

The article is not written in an objective language. It is so easy to know the author's side. More than that, there are mistakes, exagerations and omissions which always tend in the same direction. I even wonder whether this is a negative ad.
