I noticed that the phone App of ABRP (A Better Route Planner) already provide trip consumption for the five Cybertruck versions.
ABRP uses the following 'Reference Consumption' values (See also Battery and range comparison chart #21)
I wonder how much those numbers are meaningful.
In Particular, the Range Extender should certainly affect the consumption
because of the added weight, but this doesn't seem to be the case?
However, I used the ABRP App on a trip between Seattle and San Diego (1265 miles or 2,000 km) and found the following results
And the trip duration for this 1265 miles / 2,000 km trip were as follow
Note: Except for the longer charging time for the RWD with 250 miles range (5 hour),
there is nothing really magisterial between the different versions.
Still the Range Extender saves 37 minutes over the almost 4 hours of charging otherwise.
To get more realistic results, I think that the 'Reference Consumption' values need to be adjusted,
in particular because the impact of the Range Extender on the consumption is still unknown.
