Tesla Cybertruck Owners Who Drove 10,000 Miles Say Range Is 164 To 206 Miles::Also, the charging speeds are below par, but on the flip side, the sound system is awesome and the car is “a dream to drive.”

70 is aggressive? In California ppl will be passing you on both sides at that speed.

    The word aggressive is from the article, so I don't know. Anyways driving 70mph consistently is going to deliver you less than the advertised range with EVs, which I believe is a blend of driving types not just constant highway speed. Consider while ICE cars have awful efficiency in city driving (stop/start) so highway driving is preferred, with EVs it's actually the other way around thanks to fewer mechanical losses and battery regen braking.

    Aggressive doesn’t mean fast. It means more abrupt changes, more acceleration/deceleration

    For example, with the frigid weather I notice I use a lot of brake when regen isn’t effective
