[@EngineeringExplained]

Guys guys guys - we went over this, you're supposed to use the **slowest** Porsche 911, and shift casually, we have dorks (like myself) to impress! FYI - Tesla engineers mentioned 15:1 gear ratio for the rear axle in one of the videos, but not sure on the front ratio, so still unknown on torque. 10,296 lb-ft/15 = 686.4 lb-ft if you assume they're all 15:1, but I'd kinda guess the real number is a bit higher. It's a shame they went the Hummer route here!

I hate the damned thing, but I have to admit it sometimes feels like it's really snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Doing a flashback when the retro craze was starting people lost their minds when VAG released the TT and the VW Beetle concepts and then saw them actually come out, people went nuts! Same thing for the Thunderbird "oh wow it's really gonna look like that!". In the case of the Tbird, style got them headlines but lack of substance made them fall out quite quickly, while the TT and the Beetle did make a decent production run. The cybertruck looks so alien that If Elon had shut his trap and didn't hype this thing up incessantly, and had just released it in one event and then followed it up with the production model, people would have gone nuts and would be more forgiving to it's shortcomings, at least I would. But since it's not about the product but drumming up hype and share price, he HAD to keep running the sewer that's his mouth with ever more outlandish claims, which lead to the only possible scenario of over promising and under delivering, They had a car that gets attention by looks alone, and they could be figuring out it's pain points with far less public scrutiny but instead of that, they have a bunch of unfulfilled promises, and a bunch of weird non essential requirements that Mr manchild insisted on.

Porsche also just beat all Tesla Model S Plaid lap times with ease with the Taycan Turbo GT on several circuits during public events (and always on the first attempt, they just optimized some stuff and then got even quicker). Porsche is simply the best car manufacturer. And while the Model S Plaid overheated 2 times on the Nordschleife, Porsche drove several rounds with 1 car and then just swapped the cars to have a full battery again - but there you can see what their 90+ years racing experience brings. They simply know how to build cars for long range racing like nobody else.

911 Turbo S has 590 lb ft, 1st gear ratio is 4.89, final drive is 3.02. So in 1st gear it has 8713 lb ft wheel torque.

Cyber truck is super impressive the fact that it comes that close to one of Porsches fastest accelerating cars for less then half the price and it’s a truck that can sit 5 people drive itself and tow props to Tesla truly is a beast

How's the CT compare with a base Carrera? Probably what Porsche was used in the ad. Rather than the Apples and Oranges shown here.

[@-Enginerd]

GM and Tesla are switching over to using Wheel Torque, because it's a better metric. That is what provides the force shoving the vehicle forward, so it's the one the matters. Comparing Engine torque numbers has always been inherently flawed, but it was tradition, so that's what everyone is still comfortable with.

[@beanapprentice1687]

What would be even better is if automakers published tractive force graphs.

[@volvo09]

But wheel torque isn't accurate either because it's not linear (even with an electric motor). 1st gear is going to be super high and it'll go down as the transmission shifts up.

[@-Enginerd]

@@beanapprentice1687 100% agreed. That's an even better metric. But that would be too much detail for majority of people, so I don't see that ever happening.

[@User.Joshua]

The current method isn’t flawed; it worked for the given time period. Over the last century, we’ve mainly had two transmission choices and many different gear ratio options. The only static would be the output of the engine amongst them. This works in the absence of a constant or standard.

[@-Enginerd]

@@User.Joshua Different vehicle models have different transmission and final drive ratios. Therefore, a comparison of Engine torque between them may be misleading. Admittedly it often is a reasonable approximation, but it falls apart in some situations. Comparing torque values between the gas and diesel engine options in pickup trucks for example. Whereas comparing peak wheel torque values would give a better approximation of acceleration potential. Granted even that isn't a perfect metric because tractive force is then dependent on tire radius, which also varies between vehicles. But there is even more room for accuracy because next you would want to take into account vehicle mass, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic drag. As you can see, just about any metric most people would speak in terms of is an approximation. Wheel torque is just a more accurate approximation than Engine/eMotor torque but an approximation of peak vehicle acceleration rate none-the-less.

[@howardmckenna]

Considering it's as aerodynamic (and as heavy!) as a house, that wasn't a poor show!

[@beanapprentice1687]

Aero isn’t too important at quarter mile speeds. What makes the truck impressive is how fast it accelerates for its weight.

[@TheSteinbitt]

@@beanapprentice1687that’s wrong, it’s hugely important, it’s why it looses quarter mile, but wins 1/8.

[@mhcosss]

@@beanapprentice1687 aero is important. Its a large part of why the porsche starts really pulling away from it at higher speeds.

[@beanapprentice1687]

@@mhcosss actually, the Porsche begins to pull on the cybertruck at higher speeds because it has a higher power-to-weight ratio. Specifically, the cybertruck has a hp/kg ratio of 0.274, whereas the Porsche has a hp/kg ratio of 0.39, which is around 40% higher.

[@beanapprentice1687]

@@TheSteinbitt nope. See my other comment about power to weight ratio. The only reason why the cybertruck wins in the 8th mile is because it has better launch capabilities due to being electric.

I can't believe how that Cybertruck takes off. I had thought the Turbo S would just completely destroy it straight from launch. Very impressive

If a schoolbus length is "barely" beating someone in a race, then I barely beat a v8 mustang in a 4 cylinder fusion.

It should still stil ~3 inches lower and be more aerodynamic not like a fridge
