The Cybertruck has been the top vehicle that everyone is talking about, wondering about, and asking questions about. Whether you are a Tesla lover or just someone curious about this new, unique-looking vehicle, you're in for a treat today.

With Cybertrucks now on the market, not many people own them, and seeing them out and about is rare in most cases. Not much is known about these vehicles, but they are easily spotted by their big, angled body style, which is extremely unique compared to quite literally anything else on the road.

Now, some people have strong opinions of Elon Musk, but one thing to remember is that he is innovative, and he's done a great job of stirring the pot with his inventions. Today, we're going to be looking at the biggest surprising detail about the Cybertruck: just how much it really costs to charge up this beast of a vehicle.

Many people strive to get an electric vehicle because, while they may be more expensive up front, they actually will cost less in the long run when fuel costs are compared to charging costs. It seems that this might not be the case with Tesla's Cybertruck.

So, let's take a look at how much it really costs to fully charge a Cybertruck.

We can always count on someone on social media to give us the juicy details we are missing.

Entrepreneur David Nguyen shared a video of him charging his Cybertruck to one full charge from just a three percent charge. He starts off by giving the car a few taps for the charging port to open, plugs it in, and then gets back in the car to see how long it'll take to charge.

When he gets back in, he reveals that the car says it'll take an hour and a half to charge it to 296 miles, which is 100% charge. He gives us details that it'll be 121kW of energy to reach a full charge.

He shows us right here in his video all the details that we need to see.

He is in California and says that the rate of electricity in his state is $0.61 per kWh, so he goes into detail about how much it'll be to charge the whole thing. "That's 121 x 0.61 that is $73 to give me a full tank. That's going to give me a range of 296 miles. Is that good? Or not good?" he says.

"I think it's pretty good because you're driving the future a.k.a the Cybertruck," he continues. However, it seems that many don't agree with this.

It seems like many people in the comments had a lot to say about this.

One person commented saying, "$70???? I thought electric was cheaper. Why are we doing this again."

"80 dollars to fill up my GMC 1500 Sierra Diesel. Almost 600 miles with the full tank lmao . So NOT GOOD. Oh and it only took me four and half minutes to fill up," another added.

It really depends on how you look at it because, as Nguywn said, they are driving the future, and it could be a huge transition, but there also might be a chance that the price of electricity would go down. However, we are still unsure if this is a good deal.

Do you think this is worth it?
