I think your instincts were correct.

The one that was tooling around my AO for a while seemed to have difficulty with the steep hills coming into town. I passed it going out of town one day and there must have been 20 cars lined-up behind it.

55 mph zone and it looked to be going 35. Battery must have been low or maybe it is just a POS.

Test bed "truck" maybe....It had Virginia tags.

If it looks like a dumpster and quacks like a dumpster it might be a dumpster.

The cyber truck looks like some high school kid's project in his first year of sheet metal class.

It certainly is ugly, but on a fully charged battery, you can't keep up with it over the course of a normal day (12 hours)

Whether towing a trailer or climbing hills, that truck is a beast.

A fully charged cybertruck can only go 340 miles on a single charge.
But I guess if a person is only driving like 10 miles per hour.
You could drive it for 12 hours on a fully charged battery?

I hate repeating this but it is not being electric that is the problem. it is the massive amount of batteries in it that is the problem. Imagine after you fall asleep in your home the Tesla Batteries catch on fire. How long can you live?

So why was it having trouble with hills?

Notice the crowd loving the Electric cars do own gasoline powered cars. Why don't they buy electric?

They are too expensive.
They don't have jobs.

I can see why you were confused.

Hills no problem:

If the headlights and AC are not being used.

When any vehicle sells only 14,000 vehicles it is called a failure.

We finally know how many Tesla Cybertrucks have actually been sold

Tesla's latest recall provides a rare look at how Elon Musk's favorite truck is holding up

qz.com

Elon Musk’s automaker has issued a recall for 11,688 units of the Cybertruck, which first went out for delivery in November 2023, according to notices posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) website. That puts sales of the Cybertruck behind Ford Motor’s F-150 Lightning, but not by much. As of May, the Detroit carmaker has sold 13,093 units of its electric pickup in 2024, up 78.5% compared to last year.

Don't have $100 grand to buy a Tesla cybertruck?
No worries.
Just build your own Redneck cybertruck for way cheaper. ...
