Cybertruck Owners Are Reporting Barely 200 Miles Per Charge (jalopnik.com)

More terrible range estimates incoming.

Jalopnik is mostly just quoting stuff from another article that was quoting forum posts. So its basically hearsay at this point. Still, its further evidence that Cybertruck's range is utter crap (and these original posts seem legitimate, as they originate from pro-Tesla sites).

I actually live in an area where a round trip of ~650km (400 miles) every 3 months is cheaper than buying from the local chain stores.

The upcharge on my dog food alone pays for my gas ($80CAD/BAG vs $100+shipping), and the distance is why I chose a PHEV over a full electric. If I had believed Musk and gotten a top end cyber truck with its "500 mile" range, I would have gotten stranded trying to buy groceries.

And before anyone comments on the price I pay for dog food; it's literally the only dry food I have found that doesn't upset her stomach, and even all the raw food brands I have tried upset her stomach occasionally.

I've got some family out in Rural Washington State. I can believe it if you live somewhere like where my uncle lives. I only know one person in my entire social network / family / etc. etc. who lives in such a rural area though, so its pretty rare indeed. But a lot of Canadian areas are like Rural Washington State IIRC.

Grew up in Douglas county. Remember the looks we'd get buying 10 gallons of milk.
