Comment on Tesla Cybertruck gets less than 80% of advertised range in YouTuber’s test
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 8 months agoIt’s not a best case scenario - it’s a precisely repeated series of accelerations and cruising speeds with a specific amount of resistance applied to the wheels.
On a real drive you’ll have a different amount of resistance (hills, wind direction, etc).

Modern ICE cars do not use fuel when coasting down hill. The computer completely shuts off the fuel injectors when coasting and the physical energy from the car rolling keeps the engine turning over.

That’s cool. I didn’t know that. Obviously no regen braking so won’t ever quite be as efficient downhill as an EV, but I’m glad ICE cars considered this and have a fuel/environment saving solution.
