Remember the Tesla ad where they ran a Cybertruck towing a 911T on a trailer and it beat an identical 911T on a drag strip?................
Well, Motor Trend re ran the same test in identical conditions and it turns out to be complete hype.
Not even close.

Haha, love the video! Did he use VW Beetle drawing as homage to 911’s roots? Cybertuck drawing is epic!

To be sure 0-60 in 2.6-sec from that "thing" is impressive straight line performance, as is 12.8-sec 1/4-mile times when towing 4000+ pounds. But Musk's blatant, disingenuous claim and the manipulated, massaged demonstration borders on corporate criminality. I'm glad MT and EE took them to task.
