@drahardja Cybertruck beats a Porsche, like how my MacBook has a faster boot time than a Cray EX4000 supercomputer. 🙄

Presumably a Cybertruck would smoke a Ford F-150 Raptor in a drag race, but why compare it to the vehicle most customers would actually be looking to replace? 🤷

@markjamesadams Clarification: Cybertruck beats a Porsche 911 Cayman T, the slowest 911, while towing a Porsche 911 Cayman T, to an ⅛ mile. Maybe.

It does not beat a Porsche 911 Turbo S, the fastest 911, even when it’s towing nothing, to a ¼ mile.

@markjamesadams In any case, the point of the video is that it confirms the accusation that Elon lied on stage about the Cybertruck.

@drahardja A Tesla is not a real truck, so they find other uses for it, apparently.

@drahardja A ridiculous & irrelevant comparison, IMO. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah the WankerTruck (WT) is fast, as all EVs are, but straight line, drag race speed isn't what "driving" is all about.

Take that behemoth into the twisties and it would be all over the place and would have to slow WAY down just to stay on the road.

Any 911 would smoke the WT in the backroads and on a road course like Sonoma or Laguna where the turns are many and the straight aways are few & far between.

@sgt1372 I mean, I’m not disputing any of that. This video is just physical confirmation that Elon lied on stage.

@drahardja I get it but, like Drumpf, we already know that Musk can't be trusted to ever tell the "truth" or to do the "right thing." 🤷‍♂️
