The Cybertruck started pulling first. I wonder what would happen if the F150 started first, and had the Cybertruck moving before it started to pull itself. I wonder if this is an example where they had the order right...
- nickthegreek 7y agoIm also wondering if both vehicles had 4 wheel drive engaged. I'd love to see these 2 vehicles really square off.
- ascagnel_ 7y agoThe Verge reported that the F-150 was a RWD model.
- Frondo 7y agoYou can see this in the video, even. The front wheels of the truck are rolling backwards as it's being pulled. Anyway, the bit about who's being pulled first also interests me; anyone else wondering about the difference of static vs dynamic friction of rubber on pavement?
- adrianmonk 7y agoI'm pretty certain you're right that, as expected, for tires on pavement, static friction is great than dynamic friction. That is certainly what I've observed in my own firsthand experience. Also, as I understand it, it's why anti-lock brakes help a car stop faster. (Though anti-lock brakes also help you retain the ability to steer, which is different but also important.)
- jlv2 7y agoIn the video you can clearly see just the rear wheels spinning on the F-150; e.g., it was RWD.
