Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles::Also, the charging speeds are below par, but on the flip side, the sound system is awesome and the car is “a dream to drive.”

Lights will be on, typically you will be listening to something on the entertainment system, passengers will also using whatever features exist but just multiple screens on while the vehicle is “running”

yeah that's different. I was talking about the engine/motor.

Lights and sound will barely affect an EV battery. maybe you'll lose 5 miles (at most) of range.

Okay but you are picking specifics and arent acknowledging the point im making, so i have to assume you missed my point.

If you only drive 10k to work and 10k home, and you have to stop at a lot of lights then you are constantly starting and stopping. The need to stop your movement, then get back up to speed aka stop and go traffic is going to absolutely gut your mileage, EV or ICE.

That same 20k every day that is mostly just staying in motion is going to be drastically different for your overall mileage. If you also drive aggressively and speed a lot you are going kill that mileage even more in stop and go traffic.

So again the listed mileage is under ideal conditions which is never what you see

My point is how you drive and what you encounter will determine how close you will get to the listed mileage value no matter what vehicle you drive. Its pretty naive to complain about it just because Elon Shithead is trying to sell a ridiculous vehicle and is a shithead

Theres much better and more honest arguments/factors to point out if you want to complain about Cybertruck or tesla in general.

But thank you for letting me know that the internal electical features barely factor in to EV mileage. Its good to know if im ever able to afford an EV

No I get your point. But there are a few details.

The need to stop your movement, then get back up to speed aka stop and go traffic is going to absolutely gut your mileage, EV or ICE.

Regenerative braking is supposed to help. I don't really know how much though, so ignore my point here

Elon Shithead is trying to sell a ridiculous vehicle and is a shithead

LOL this is completely true though. I'm never buying a tesla. there are better EVs.
