A 31 day experiment has revealed what the true cost of charging a Tesla Cybertruck is.

One owner has broken it down to share exactly how much he spends on electricity to charge up his car every month.

The Cybertruck has had its fair share of controversy ever since it was first unveiled and Elon Musk smashed its supposed ‘bulletproof’ glass.

Since then, users have complained about things like the trunk closing on their fingers and the windshield cracking in a hailstorm.

However, it seems that there are some significant upsides to driving an electric vehicle as opposed to one that runs on gas.

And a huge factor is how cheap they are to run.

YouTuber Matt Wallace, who goes by MattWallaceTech on his channel, regularly shares updates about his own Tesla truck.

Earlier this year, he uploaded a video which detailed his thoughts on the vehicle after one month of ownership.

There, he gave his insight on ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of the Cybertruck and has even lifted the lid on how much electricity he spends to charge it.

Breaking it down for his audience, Matt said: “I know the question that's been on everyone’s minds is just how much does this thing cost to drive per month in terms of electricity and that's actually a great question.

“So, of course, it really depends on your area just how much you're charged for electricity but I'll use me for an example.

“So I'm on a very special rate plan here in Las Vegas and so doing the math, crunching the numbers, this truck costs me about anywhere from $45 to $50 a month to drive in electricity which overall is not bad for something this size, like that's pretty insane.”

Comparing it to the price of gas, Matt estimated that if the vehicle wasn’t electric, then he’d be spending ‘over $400 a month just in gasoline’.

Viewers were shocked by how cheap the car is to run, with many taking to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions.

One user wrote: “How is that possible?”

Another shared: “I have a MYP and I have solar panels. My average electric bill on this car is $20 a month.”

And a third person added: “Time to get solar power installed. Cheaper driving and faster ROI.”

This prompted a reply from Matt which read: “I have solar and powerwalls and it’s amazing.”
