I was looking at the math for Cybertruck energy usage and it is shockingly (heh) egregious: Using the numbers provided in the post it takes like 3.5 days worth of the average USA household electric usage to haul that bloated doorstop 200 miles. And that's with all of the "round it for easy math" happening to go Tesla's way...

    It's not unique to that particular bloated doorstop. By the screenshot's numbers it comes in at 533 Wh/mi which is toward the lower end of US EV efficiency but not the lowest. According to this chart that about matches the Chevy Silverado EV at 535 Wh/mi and the Hummer EV at 674 Wh/mi is even worse. Of course, more reasonably sized EVs are more like 200-300 Wh/mi.

    Amerikkkan cars are just too fucking big and making them electric doesn't do a damn thing to fix that.

    I'd expect that if you calculated the average amerikkkan household energy use (including fuel) instead of electricity, these monster EVs wouldn't be that outside the norm, because the average amerikkkan household owns an F150.

    EDIT: and my electric unicycle takes about 44 Wh/mi.
