HERE'S THE PROOF... TESLA CYBERTRUCK VS PORSCHE 911 DRAG RACE

EV Channels Review

This video meticulously debunks Elon Musk's claim that the Tesla Cybertruck, while towing a Porsche 911, could out-drag the 911 on its own. The "Engineering Explained" host, Jason Fenske, partners with MotorTrend to conduct a real-world test. Despite Tesla's marketing suggesting a win, the results clearly show the Porsche 911 T (manual transmission) is faster, both in the eighth and quarter miles, even when the Cybertruck is given a slight weight advantage. Fenske highlights that while the Cybertruck has impressive initial acceleration, its overall performance is hampered by the added weight and drag of towing. The video also delves into the physics and math behind acceleration, explaining why Tesla's claim was improbable. While the Cybertruck's towing acceleration is acknowledged as "bonkers" and its stability impressive, the core verdict is that it cannot beat a 911 while towing, contrary to Tesla's unsubstantiated marketing.
