Recreating Tesla's Cybertruck Towing A 911 Drag Race! The Actual Results.

Jordan is out with our Cybertruck with Motortrend and Engineering Explained to put Tesla's claim to the test... does it really tow a 911 down the quarter mile faster than a 911 can drive itself?

[@EngineeringExplained]

Y'all they made me drag that whiteboard down the whole strip... 🤣 Super fun, thanks for all your help Jordan!

[@crooncroon5314]

I'd like to see you try this test with a trailer with double and triple axles to reduce rolling resistance and friction on the trailer bearings. If Cybertruck can beat a Porsche without a trailer it possibly can beat it, if you keep adding wheels, double triple quad axles. With that reasoning, Elon was right...

[@makingstuffdownunder8405]

What time did it do?

I’m getting the Nikola lawsuit vibes! However it is likely the results Tesla shared were before software restrictions were put in place!

[@jull1234]

I think the key hidden fact is Tesla’s weight reduced trailer.

[@rdramos13]

And that Tesla most likely played with the programming to boost the trucks performance higher than the stock versions that customers will get.

[@TheSteinbitt]

The fact that this is even a thing to discuss, a truck with a porsche on the bed, racing a porsche, is crazy.

[@jdrou]

Great video!

[@mrmawson2438]

I didn't think it could cheers Jordan and the team

[@Radchadrok]

What did the Cybertruck run without the trailer?

[@4literv6]

Tri motor runs 11.0 from many various reviewers on many surfaces, with a best run so far by mkbd he did a 10.9@117mph. The actual tesla engineering team shared in their testing they got a 7.8@88mph towing which proves it did beat the porsche&fenskes is a pos liar! He knows this got called on it and community noted month's ago. Yet refuses to walk anything back and instead got involved in making this video=he is a Douchebag extraordinaire. 😀

[@networkzsupport]

It should run an 11.0

[@andrasbiro3007]

11.0 consistently.

[@aviflax]

Great video as usual for Jordan and for the channel in general. I especially appreciated the elevated production values: the editing, the music, the drone shots. Great work, keep it up!

[@Cyrribrae]

Great editing and work Jordan! This is such a fun video - tainted by the culture war around all of it lol. Oh well. Glad it was a fun day for all of you. Wouldn't have minded seeing a few more of the runs or details on them. But that's ok

[@78katz]

Nice collab. effort!

[@brendykes1202]

Better messaging would have been: CT almost beats 911…while towing a 911. No less impressive.

[@andrasbiro3007]

More accurate, but doesn't sound as good.

Please don't go into marketing

[@sprockkets]

[@GarretL757]

I think Tesla should one up this and say it could drive over a Porsche while towing a Porsche and beat a Porsche in a 1/2 mile race.

[@SumGuyLovesVideos]

do we have a cybertruck not towing vs porche?

[@igor6559]

From Out of spec KZbin trusted journalist ? I don't think so for now 🤔

[@phillm156]

I was out today in a busy suburban street with shops, restaurants and traffic. A Cybertruck quietly drove by and I could feel the whole area became silent. Everyone quietly watching it glide through😂 It really was an experience.

[@soyxarai6369]

I'm curious if you do it the other way around, so the Porsche pulls a trailer with the cybertruck on it. 😃

[@SumGuyLovesVideos]

LOL, yes :D

[@JonathanRootD]

It doesn't tow but ok

[@markbootsma2694]

Awesome

[@T3chAndThings]

Was this the cybertruck beast model? Or just dual motor?

[@koaschten]

How did you not switch the Porsches around to see how quick the PDK car would be while the cyber truck towed the manual?

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

That would’ve added time, and we were up against the clock as it is. But the PDK would’ve won of course.

[@jackgreenstalk777]

The fact it can win in the 1/8th mile and is even close in 1/4 mile is very impressive. A win for tesla, most people just took their ad at face value and now even car enthusiast can be impressed even if its not "a fair fight" so to soeak, the fact a truck towing anything can keep up with any new porsche on a drag strip is amazing

[@Xetairex]

It can’t keep up with a new Taycan. No Tesla can. Especially in the Nurburgring. Please don’t spread your half knowledge here.

[@trevorross1311]

Wow,I was very shocked. Didn't expect the Beast to be so close to the 911 while towing.😲

[@brock1732]

Love the drone shots!! Makes the videos look super professional

[@kellyheath8547]

how much weight do you need to pull out of the CT/trailer combo to beat the 911. do that math and see what can happen.

[@SumGuyLovesVideos]

yeah the trailer could make the difference, maybe get one rated for 110 mph, LOL!

[@mrmariusi]

@@JonathanRootD No, at 1/8 it's because this setup is worse than Tesla's. Engineering Explained makes it clear on his variant of the video at 15:04 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3uWeWtjYqiEiKc

[@ChaimLoecher]

12.5 vs 12.7 ... I could think of other more damning statements made. Cool resaults though

[@richardpoole2729]

Which vehicle was spinning wheels on every pull? 😂😂😂

[@EthanolHound]

So had to watch Tesla release again and it does say he did it in a 1/4 mile and was clear it was an 1/8 mile as it showed the marker which is not a 1/4 mile marker but would have to race to understand. At end of video the times posted were what it does in a 1/4 mile. Which is faster than the 911 but Elon miss spoke. Guess you would have to drag race to understand. They didn’t lie just showed it win in 1/8 which is impressive while towing.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

Despite the results, the CT is still the winner overall. Drop the trailer and Porsche and the CT flat out wins. And stable towing and braking @ over 100-mph is a amazing.

[@GrillarGaming]

Since the difference was 2/10 of a second. I find it hard to agree with the statement that you would have to purposefully throw the race to lose. Was that the 911 slowest time vs the cybertruck fastest time?

[@danielholmes9780]

Looks like they only did one race, with a driver that wanted the cybertruck to lose. Disappointing.

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

We did 7 races all with different results and even tried different drivers. The fastest time against fastest time resulted in .5 second difference.

[@GrillarGaming]

@@Jordan_Schiefer what was fastest cybertruck vs slowest 911.. was that the 12.5 to 12.7?

[@davidmenasco5743]

It would have been so nice to top this video off with a little no-comment outro showing the CT and the 911 racing without the trailer. Better yet, CT against the PDK version of 911.

[@mrmariusi]

Indeed, but with a non-max-speed-limited Cybertruck and decent tires, not the all-terrain.

[@MangKolokoy333]

Damn they are really invested in this. Seems like Tesla put together a million dollar package for them to prove them wrong.

[@HygienistDentist]

[@coreyschmidt734]

[@Xetairex]

Elon ‘lies’. He embellishes too.

[@allenbaylus3378]

what were both cars speeds at the 1/8 mile and at the 1/4 mile. Curious if the Cybertruck hit max speed and the Porsche had no such limitations...

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

Neither hit max speed. CT would’ve if it hadn’t been towing

[@colton-sinning]

0-60 is made up to show how good it is, why can't another range be made up as well to show what the car is good at?

[@davidchen3643]

How about 8 hot laps at the Nurburgring? The plaid can't make it past 7 without firing up the diesel generator.

[@MosesKaldor]

Tesla is a desirable product with a loyal and forgiving customer base. They might have exploited that loyalty. Just look at the first press images of the new model 3. All front images had what looked like a front camera. This caused a buzz as to what it might be. When the physical car was released to the press, it was missing. Not one motoring journalist who was at that release brought it up (bit of a coincidence and should be looked at further), but please correct me if I'm wrong. Because of that and Tesla vision is garbage, I bought a different EV brand and am really happy with my purchase. Tesla are lovely cars but are still riding the 2012 hype train.

[@mortis5775]

Now try one without a trailer

[@edman007x]

Why is the out of spec video shorter than the engineering explained video, it doesn't feel right.

[@teitpoulsen7183]

Tesla should have done a 10MPH street start, rather then standing start. An ICE car in gear is very slow until the torque builds up. Instead they choose to exaturate and make a false claim. Cybertruck is phenomenal performance. No need to try to trash Porsche with a misleading claim.

What are the chances that Jason threw the race so he could be good at math?

[@Jordan_Schiefer]

Never trust a Jason…

[@mrmariusi]

I doubt Jason threw it, but the race is different from Tesla's: the trailer is significantly heavier, and the 911 is differently positioned on the trailer - all significant disadvantages for Cybertruck.

It would still be an unfair / dishonest result, however it's possible the engineer's changed the power output of the battery and motors to levels they wouldn't deliver to consumers. It's possible it did win that run under it's own steam, but using programming that isn't sustainable for wear and tear.

​@@BillyONealnot necessarily. They have no reason to disclose all the tuning they do for promos. They certainly had some custom software when they took it to Baja for example and there's no reason for them to disclose all those details in the promo

@Cyrribrae showing a 1/4 mile finish instead of an 1/8 mile finish, or saying the 1/8 mile finish is an 1/8 mile finish instead of lying about it, would not be "disclosing" anything. Clearly 1/4 mile is the comparison they wanted based on the lie, and if they'd been able to get that result, I'm sure they'd have shown it instead.

[@bsaxman2012]

Splitting hairs here. At the 1/8 mile mark, the Cybertruck clearly outpulls the Porsche while towing a Porsche. That is very noteworthy. There are many drag race tracks that are limited to 1/8 mile so this is a valid test. The only fault I see is that when Tesla showed their 0-60 (faster than the Porsche) and the 1/4 mile time, they should have also included the Porsche.
