A Tesla Cybertruck owner shared his experience charging the vehicle, revealing that despite being considered a “future” car, the cost for a full charge may surprise some.

After posting a video showing the charging process, it became clear that he needed an hour and a half to reach 100% charge, equivalent to 296 miles, which would cost around $73 in San Leandro, California, where the electricity rate is $0.61 per kWh.

However, this reality did not please everyone. Many users on social media expressed disappointment, highlighting that the cost of charging the Cybertruck is comparable to or even higher than refueling gasoline vehicles, which offer greater range in much less time.

Comments criticized the efficiency of the electric vehicle, comparing the refueling experience and questioning the economic viability of the purchase.

The situation sparked a debate about the true savings of electric cars, particularly the Cybertruck, which, while promoting an innovative and futuristic image, may not be as economical as expected, generating discussions about the choice between electric and internal combustion vehicles.
