The Tesla Cybertruck is estimated to get about 2.4 miles per kWh, or 415 watts per mile. In comparison, a Tesla Model 3 gets about 3.4 miles per kWh, or 290 watts per mile.
That’s a lot. Looked up numbers for high-speed rail: for passangers minimum is 29Wh/km/sest in Japan and maximum is 41Wh/km/seat for Eurostar, for freight it’s between 315Wh/km/t and 525Wh/km/t. Again, this is for high-speed rail at least 300km/h. For slow speed train(for example 90km/h) this will go much, much lower. Probably something between 30 and 100Wh/km/t.
EVs suddenly don’t get good fuel economy?
I mean, with EVs, you compare the economy to other EVs.
Well… we don’t have info… so…
That’s an estimate.
Even so, that’s better than the F150 Lightning (1.9 mi/kWh) and the Rivian R1T (1.81 mi/kWh)
So we’re saying it does get good fuel economy?
For an electric truck, (that’s not in public hands for testing, so we’re guessing) yes, it’s like 25% more efficient than the competitors.
Yes it’s not bad… the Rivian gets about 2.1 miles/kwhr
Although you could definitely design a smaller, more efficient EV truck.
Hey, like this one!

That’s what my Chevy bolt gets on the highway in winter.
The cybertruck would use, according to at least one estimate, about 350 Wh/km, which puts it as the least efficient EV (including an old source). Compares to about an F-150 Lightning.
The Hummer has 419 Wh/km, or worse, so even with that estimate it wouldn’t be the worst.

Man I need those numbers converted to mi/kwh
Satoshis per yard/h
1.78 mi/kwh
Darn that’s less than half of what I get
If it’s a new car, then it’s less efficient than your old car. This is still true (or possibly even more true) for electric cars.
