No, Tesla's Cybertruck is not faster than a Porsche 911 while towing!

Tesla Tricked You (First Video) - • No, Tesla Cybertruck I...
At the Cybertruck delivery event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the Cybertruck could tow a Porsche 911 down the 1/4 mile faster than a Porsche 911 could do it by itself. I did not believe it, so I made a video explaining why - but math is for nerds, let's do it for real! Thanks to MotorTrend, this test is now a reality, as we pitted the CyberBeast against a manual Porsche 911 T - the slowest current generation Porsche 911.

About Porsche providing the car, I think I remember Mat from the Carwow channel mentioning how Ferrari, Mclaren and so on usually, send some extra people to drag races to be around the car in case anything goes wrong, while Porsche just sends the car like "It'll do whatever you need it to". So among all performamce brands I somewhat trust that the Porsche provided was just a regular Porsche Carrera T with no special adjustment for this specific drag race.

The 379-horsepower 911T with a manual transmission is also the lightest and slowest 911. The base model 911 also has only 379 horsepower, but comes only with the 8-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission, and is faster. Optioning the lighter 911T with the PDK, would make it faster than the base 911. The 450-horsepower 911S is significantly faster, ESPECIALLY if optioned with the PDK. The 473-horsepower 911 GTS is the real sweet spot in the 911 line-up, and is even faster with the PDK. The 572-horsepower all wheel drive 911 Turbo with the PDK is simply in another league. And there really isn't anything available that's faster than the 640-horsepower all wheel drive 911 Turbo S.

In this case 1.1m viewers [so far] who may not have known much about a Cyber truck know it can almost beat a premium sports car while towing a premium sports car - and can thrash it into a cocked hat when one on one.

@@rightwingsafetysquad9872In what scenario is a $80-100k EV truck useful for moving a lot of things short distances? The bed alone is a joke. It can barely fit a mountain bike. The price is not at all justifiable for simple trips at all. Renting a Uhaul (because most EV trucks are only available in NA) would literally cost you less than 0.001% of the price a CT. Its like $20/day plus gas. Even most people that are buying a truck for the utility and not a pavement princess are not buying the fully loaded top trim, they buy the most stripped down cheapest model.
