Launched back in November 2023, the Tesla Cybertruck hasn't had the greatest reputation over its short life so far. Instantly mocked for its bulky design, the car was written off by many as hideously ugly due to the vehicle's aggressively straight lines looking like something out of a cartoon, while others flagged alleged imperfections in the build quality. However it seems like we've all been giving the Cybertruck a rough time for no reason - especially when you take into account how much it costs to run the vehicle. Advert Like the rest of the Tesla family, the Cybertruck runs on electric power and you'd be forgiven for thinking that charging the car to full power would deprive the whole street of electricity in order to run. But apparently not. One person whose keen to dispel this myth is TikTok creator Joe Fay (@jf.okay), who recently shared an end of year charging round up for his Cybertruck. Promising viewers that the results of the clip would 'shock' them, Fay explained that he'd sunk 6,689 kWh of energy into charging his car between December 2023 and November 2024. Advert Now this figure may not mean much to the average reader, so let's put it into monetary terms, with Fay promptly revealing that all of these home charges cost him $436 (£347).

Advert He then divided his total costs by 53, giving him an average cost of $8.22 (£6.55) per charge. In comparison, a fuel tank of petrol costs an average of £79 while an average tank of diesel comes in around £82. Leaving you to wonder who among us are actually getting ripped off in this situation. Fay then added that he estimates to have saved around $2,573 (£2,051) in fuel savings, which means he wasn't exaggerating by claiming the results would 'shock' us. And he's not the only one either. Another person who's made major savings by driving a Cybertruck is Bilal Sattar, who revealed on X that he'd spent $573.55 (£452.26) after driving roughly 10,000 miles over six months. Comparing the figure to the 'equivalent gas car' running at $4/gallon and he saved a total of $1,800 (£1.419). Advert Unfortunately for us Brits, the Cybertruck isn't currently available in the UK and with a price-tag of around $74,000 (£59,000) to $94,000 (£74,000), you'd need to do a lot of driving to make back the initial cost.
