People horrified after Cybertruck owner reveals how much it really costs to fully charge their vehicle

Since its release last November, the Tesla Cybertruck has had its fair share of problems.

Recently, one went up in flames after crashing into a fire hydrant and getting wet in a bizarre collision.

And more than 3,800 models of the car were recalled after owners noticed a serious problem with the accelerator pedal.

But, while electric vehicles have a higher upfront cost, they are typically cheaper to run when when compared to those powered by petrol or diesel. So you may think of the Cybertruck as good investment.

Well think again because Elon Musk's supercar appears to be the exception to this rule.

After realizing the charge of his vehicle was running low - three percent to be exact - entrepreneur David Nguyen took to Instagram to share a video of himself charging it until it was fully charged.

Nguyen gives the outside of the car a few taps to open the charging port and plugs it in.

He then gets back into the Cybertruck and reveals how long it will take to charge it up to 100 percent. Drum roll please.

It turns out it takes a whopping 'one hour and 30 minutes' to go from near-zero to reaching the charge limit of 296 miles (aka 100 percent).

The entrepreneur then explains that it takes 121kW of energy to reach a full charge, but just how much does that cost?

Well, in Nguyen's hometown of San Leandro, California, the rate of electricity is $0.61 per kWh. He breaks down what that means for viewers.

"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 then resolves: "I think it's pretty good because you're driving the future a.k.a the Cybertruck."

But not everybody agreed, with more than 4,000 taking to the comments to share their opinions.

One Instagram user wrote: "$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.

A third commented: "So it's the same to fill up a gas SUV, get further distance and it takes 10 minutes compared to 1.5 hours??? Think I'll stick to combustion."

And a fourth simply said: "Absolute joke."
