Here’s Why Tesla Cybertruck Towing A Ford F-150 Is Meaningless
A tale of physics, electric trucks, and why tug of war doesn’t matter.

During the Tesla Cybertruck reveal Elon Musk showed the world that the Cybertruck can pull a Ford F-150, uphill! At initial glance, you might think wow, that’s an impressive feat. Surely the Tesla’s electric torque helps it rip the F-150 in this battle of “who’s got the bigger driveshaft?” Unfortunately, physics informs us these kind of demonstrations are entirely pointless.

We’ll discuss the actual wheel torque of the Tesla Cybertruck as well as the Ford F-150, we’ll look into both vehicles weights, and we’ll analyze the video to determine if the Ford is RWD or 4WD. Ultimately, we’ll all land on the conclusion that everything we witnessed was pointless. That’s the story of life. Enjoy!

Tesla’s Cybertruck Tug-of-War Stunt Was Pointless

Tesla’s Cybertruck unveiling event in November 2019 was one of the most highly anticipated events in the automotive industry. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, revealed an all-electric truck that was supposed to revolutionize the pick-up truck industry. The Cybertruck’s design was futuristic and bold, featuring a stainless-steel exterior and angular design that set it apart from traditional pick-up trucks.

However, the most controversial moment of the event came when Musk showcased a video of the Cybertruck towing a Ford F-150 in a tug-of-war battle. The video generated a lot of buzz on social media and became a hotly debated topic among car enthusiasts. Many people claimed that the Cybertruck’s design and electric capabilities made it superior to traditional pick-up trucks, while others argued that the stunt was biased and unfair as it didn’t represent a real-world scenario.

The fundamental problem with the tug-of-war stunt is that it doesn’t accurately represent the way trucks are used in the real world. Tug-of-war tests are designed to determine the maximum amount of force a truck can generate by pulling something else. In reality, though, trucks are rarely used for this purpose. Most truck owners use their vehicles to transport heavy loads or haul items, such as furniture or construction materials.

What’s more, the tug-of-war stunt is a subjective test, and it’s easy to manipulate the results. For example, the two trucks involved in the Cybertruck video had different weights, tire sizes, and gear ratios, which all affect the outcome of the test. Moreover, the surface traction, road conditions, and other environmental factors could have contributed to the Cybertruck’s win.

The Cybertruck tug-of-war stunt was, therefore, pointless and misleading. It didn’t prove anything about the performance or capabilities of the Cybertruck or Ford F-150 in the real world. It was merely a publicity stunt aimed at generating buzz and attracting attention to the Cybertruck’s unique design.

In conclusion, the tug-of-war stunt that Tesla showcased during the Cybertruck unveiling event was not a fair or accurate representation of how trucks are used in the real world. It was a subjective test that could easily be manipulated and didn’t prove anything about the true capabilities of the Cybertruck. Car enthusiasts and consumers should, therefore, not rely on such gimmicks to make informed decisions when purchasing vehicles. They should instead focus on real-world performance tests and reviews to determine the best vehicle for their needs.
