At 75 mph, running with the tonneau open resulted in a range loss of about 25 miles, Car and Driver found.
The Tesla Cybertruck’s retractable tonneau cover is there for a reason. Well, multiple reasons, actually. Tesla says it helps keep valuable items safe, while owners might say that its sole purpose in life is to obscure the rear visibility when it’s closed But there’s another reason, and that’s to improve efficiency, which ultimately leads to more driving range, and that’s always a good thing in an EV.
C&D also removed the wheel covers and opened the tailgate to see if that would make any difference to the energy consumption of the stainless steel-covered pickup. Finally, all these tests were repeated at 65 mph. Using the car’s consumption meter, the publication reset and recorded the cumulative consumption meter as the driver passed a fixed marker on the track.
