Electrek isn’t the best resource, but the original information is from like an 1-hour 40-minute Youtube video (as well as a 5+ hour livestream test of the Cybertruck’s range). Link in the Electrek article.

The 254 mile highway range test is perhaps the most troubling issue brought up so far, and even pro-Tesla outlets like Electrek is bringing it up as an issue.

    Gosh, it seems like Tesla’s claims are just made up or something. Like the thing costs twice as much, is short a third of its range, is four years late to market, doesn’t have a magical exoskeleton, charges slow… it’s like Tesla answered the question “What if we made en EV pickup, but worse than the ones already on sale?”
