Ok, I expected the Tesla range to be horrible, which it was, but I did NOT expect it to cost more to recharge than to refill the Ram with diesel. What a joke 🤣

"we're low on power captain. 10 miles until next charging station"

"Kill the lights and radio, divert all power to the main engine"

"I captain, on your mark"

"Engage"

Wait until the govt starts adding road taxes to each recharge at the same rate they tax gasoline.

The cyber truck is made for showing off on sunset boulevard, where the bullet proof qualities come in too.

So from San Francisco to LA it takes 14 hours with a Cyber truck. Takes a Cummins 7 hours. So not only are you saving time. You’re saving money. And you’re towing safer.

1 hour of towing and over an hour of recharge. Pioneers moved faster. TFL thank you for your honest reviews.

[NomenClature-os]

Cool, so if you take a family trip from the east coast to say…Yellowstone and back is 3, 400 miles. 85 mile recharges means 40 stops @ 1.5 hours each = 60 hours of charging, and 40 times hitching and unhitching your trailer. Fun !

[matpatte]

You forgot that your time is worth at least $50 an hour as well. Making the Tesla cost at least 4x to tow with per mile.

[cobra-hexj]

Your "Trip cost comparison" at the end should include "time to refill/recharge" to 100%. I don't know many people who place absolutely ZERO value on their time. In fact, for many of us, our time wasted is not simply income lost - but opportunities lost as well. Great job though guys - as usual. 👍🏻

[randygreen]

Excellent video. It's amazing, you only went 85 miles and had to stop unhook and charge, plus it cost $12 more to go only 85 miles! And the diesel was on its way in 3 minutes, while the EV had to charge for 1 1/2 hours! Diesel trucks aren't going anywhere for a very long time.

Last summer I drove my 1999 Chevy Suburban 6.5 diesel from south NJ to Belfast Maine on one tank 42 GA and got 19 MPG During a heat wave 90+ degrees AC on the whole trip with front & rear air, packed to the top with vacation gear...Not bad for 25 year old technology....

Thanks for the clear, real-world comparison. We need more of this sort of usable information, and a whole lot less marketing and spin.

[codychickadee]

The Ram is the right tool for the job, the Cybertruck is the right job for a tool.

[CowboyHickLumberjack]

I’m a trucker and I found this video interesting. Two full tanks and I can cover 1000 miles averaging 5.9 mpg towing 44, 000 cargo and have been passed by the Budweiser brewery there. For some reason I thought those supercharging stations were free but I guess they are more expensive than diesel thanks guys great video

I have a 2014 Super Duty with the 6.7 turbo diesel, I hauled a 18, 000 lb trailer 600 miles I stopped once for diesel. I was going up Interstate Hills at 1/3 throttle. The hitch is rated at 15, 000 lb.
Kudos to these guys to work so hard trying to say something nice about this non-functional "truck"

[coachkennedy]

My wife said it best, "might as well go back to horse and buggy." lol.

[robvision]

I live in California and can attest… most Cybertruck drivers have never bought a truck before and can’t drive it well.

[mrfalcon]

Having to unhook the trailer just to charge is crazy

[HDHQDIRECT]

So every hour I drive towing, I gotta stop another hour to recharge....Im gonna get so Fat and broke eating at Service Stations....😂

[ryanskare]

I do not love or hate any truck. I base my purchasing on the results that the team at TFL Truck get in the testing. Seriously guys. You provide the exact information people want before they decide. I tell everyone to check out your channel. Thank you for everything you do. It is a tremendous help.
