Tom did a range test and got 302 miles to 3 miles below 0 indicated (not the same as OOSR which tries to get to through the entire bottom reserve) at 60-68 degrees F in a nice, calm day with the OEM (light) AT tires. That was 2.51 miles per kWh or 398 Wh/mile.
Used 120-121 kWh, so 310 would have been possible at full depletion. OOSR got 304 miles with full 123 kWh used with the Cyberbeast.
EPA combined rating is 318 miles for this configuration, so about 5% less than rating, maybe 2% if he pushed to the bottom of the pack.
In comparison, Tom’s 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning extended pack Lariat’s 70 mph range test in 10 degrees warmer weather (70-80) got 270 miles with 2.1 miles per kWh. Note that F-150L had OEM General Grabber all-season tires and not AT tires.

Well at least Tesla is being more honest about its range figures now.

That’s actually quite good, glad to see the positive cybertruck coverage.
I’m very happy with the range of my Lightning, in normal commuting I’m usually at 2.5-2.7 m/kWh on city streets and 1.9-2.3 on the highway. Over almost 12,000 miles I’ve averaged 2.1 m/kWh. The 270 full battery range is about right, but I’ve gotten 282 once and that was with 6 miles below 0%.
Towing has been really nice with my truck too. We tow a 3,000 lb trailer plus around 800 lbs of cargo (people and stuff), and I get around 1.5 m/kWh or around 180 miles.

10MPH headwind/tailwind could change tests results by 20%. All of those real life high speed test test both car and weather conditions.

Amazing news, Tesla is now lying to you a little less about EPA range estimates!
