TESLA CYBERTRUCK VS HUMMER EV: DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video pits the Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast against the GMC Hummer EV in a series of drag races and a braking test. Initially, the Cybertruck, despite a firmware issue limiting its top speed, demonstrated superior acceleration off the line. After a firmware update corrected the speed limiter to the production Cyberbeast's 130 mph, the Cybertruck decisively won the standing quarter-mile race with a time of 11.2 seconds compared to the Hummer's 12 seconds. In rolling races from 30 mph, the Cybertruck again proved quicker due to its lower weight and less inertia. Adding ballast (passengers) to the Cybertruck slightly reduced its advantage but did not change the outcome. The braking test from 70 mph was inconclusive, with both drivers feeling they could have performed better, though the Hummer was perceived to have stopped shorter. Ultimately, the Cybertruck, particularly in its Cyberbeast configuration, showcases remarkable performance, significantly outperforming the heavier Hummer EV in acceleration tests.
