Does the Cybertruck Even Win in the Eighth Mile? A few weeks after Musk made the original quarter-mile claim, Fenske posted a video on his Engineering Explained YouTube channel revealing Tesla had only shown an eighth-mile race. Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill responded by confirming that Tesla never actually ran the quarter-mile race, but he still backed up the original assertion. “The fastest 1/8mi CT hit while towing on the day was 7.808s at 88 mph and the trailer tires were only rated to 80 mph so we opted to call it a day before someone got hurt,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Our simulations showed the full 1/4 mi race would be close but with the same net result, so no need to risk it.”

So tesla fully faked the video proof

And what a dumb thing for Tesla to lie about. According to Motortrend’s own tests, Cybertruck would beat the Porsche without towing the other Porsche every time, but that wasn’t enough for Elon. Tesla could have even just chosen a lighter car to tow and it would have been an impressive feat, but no, the lie instead.
