Did you read the article? Of course it would be the same result if they put equal weight in the truck beds. The key is the weight, not the torque.

- et2o 7y agoSo what, though? The Tesla will won do its weight and weight distribution. Does it not count because it’s not purely due to torque?
- smaddox 7y agoEven if you weighted the F150 up to match the weight of the Cybertruck, the Cybertruck would almost certainly still win. Electric motors have much higher starting torque, and as soon as the F150's wheels start slipping, it would be game over. Dynamic friction is much lower than static friction. It's silly to say "it's just friction".
- onepointsixC 7y agoFriction is what allows the application of that torque into something actually meaningful. But a $39K Cybertruck being better at some things than a $28K F150 shouldn't be surprising. Bumping it up to at least a $35K F350 makes the comparison at least reasonable spec-wise.
- giarc 7y agoIt's not apples to apples. I'd like to see a 4 wheel drive F-150 vs the Cybertruck with equal weight.
