While the first customers are getting acquainted with the production version of the latest Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck, journalists are in full swing testing the new product in straight-line racing. The record holder in such races is probably the bloggers Carwow, who have already held their third battle with the participation of the Tesla Cybertruck. This time, the electric vehicle’s rival was one of the most powerful production pickups with an internal combustion engine – the Ford F-150 Raptor R.
The Raptor R is one of the most powerful cars out of the box, capable of challenging even sports cars in a straight line race. This is because this version of the Ford F-150 is equipped with a sports car 5.2-liter compressor V8, which develops power of 700 horsepower and 870 Nm of torque.
That power is sent to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission, and the gas-powered pickup weighs 2,703 kilograms.
The Tesla Cybertruck in the Cyberbeast version has 845 horsepower and 930 Nm of torque, which is provided by three electric motors. True, a significant disadvantage of the Tesla Cybertruck is its impressive mass. The electric pickup truck weighs more than three tons, which inevitably affects the dynamic characteristics of the model.
