I found this conversion, which I should probably memorize. The MPGe rating seems worthless to me, and I prefer to think in terms of miles per kWh, or watts per mile.

1 MPGe = 0.029669 mi/kWh

That's 2 miles per kWh, or exactly what I predicted the Cybertruck would get (half of what cars get).

A 500 mile range CT is going to need about a 250 kWh battery. That means the 300 mile range one needs 150 kWh, and the 250 mile range needs 125 kWh.
