2024 Tesla Cybertruck Data Assessment
Automated assessment, not a hands-on review. Reliability proxies do not predict breakdowns; running economics excludes purchase price and depreciation.
What these numbers mean for this model
This assessment uses the 2024 Tesla Cybertruck (AWD) specification row: 340 miles rated range, 2.10 mi/kWh, and 123 kWh usable battery. It does not average every trim or model year. Its efficiency score is 52/100 within Truck peers. Changing the available peer set can change its relative score.
Fuel comparison: Ford F-150, 20 MPG, in the same Truck body class. Modeled annual fuel savings are $1,026; negative means the gas rival is cheaper to fuel. This is not an exact trim or purchase-price match. Local rates and charging habits can change the result; use the ownership calculator before making a purchase decision.
Evidence gaps
- Recall records span available model-family records, not verified fleet exposure or complete year coverage. Check your VIN separately; zero stored recalls does not mean none exist.
- A model-specific curated issue checklist is available; issue counts are not prevalence or failure rates.
- Battery estimate: 1.5% per year, based on a brand-level fallback, scored neutrally. The underlying curve is not independently verified here.
- Charging speed is modeled from peak power; weather, battery temperature, and the charging curve can produce a different result.
- This assessment remains usable but is excluded from search indexing until model-specific issue and battery evidence and an adequate same-class cohort are available.
What drives the score
Reliability proxies — 54/100
9 campaigns across 1 model years with records. Coverage and fleet exposure are unverified, so this metric is neutral (60), not a breakdown-rate estimate. Zero records does not establish reliability.
Weighted from our hand-curated known-issues database for this model.
Brand-level estimate — no model-specific dataset; scored neutrally (60).
Efficiency — 52/100
Miles per kWh vs other trucks. Drives every cost figure on this site.
Rated combined range. Expect 20-30% less in freezing weather.
Modeled from peak 250 kW using a 72% taper assumption; not a measured charging test.
Economics — 54/100
Scenario assumptions: 80% home at 17¢/kWh, 20% public DC at 48¢/kWh; not live rates.
Against the Ford F-150 (20 MPG) at $3.92/gal, 12,000 mi/yr.
Illustrative lost capacity × $132/kWh. Not a repair bill, replacement quote, resale loss, or probability of failure.
Cost of 100 miles bought entirely at public DC fast chargers.
