- No, Tesla's Cybertruck is not faster than a Porsche 911 while towing!
Watch the full MotorTrend video here: • The Cybertruck vs Pors...
Tesla Tricked You (First Video) - • No, Tesla Cybertruck I...
At the Cybertruck delivery event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the Cybertruck could tow a Porsche 911 down the 1/4 mile faster than a Porsche 911 could do it by itself. I did not believe it, so I made a video explaining why - but math is for nerds, let's do it for real! Thanks to MotorTrend, this test is now a reality, as we pitted the CyberBeast against a manual Porsche 911 T - the slowest current generation Porsche 911.

The real winner is math.
And humor.
Maths looking on wondering Americans can never pronounce its name…🤦♂️
@@fearnpol4938 Moose is also the plural of Moose. You don't need that redundant S when context provides a quantity. "Maths" has gotta be one of the dumbest sounding Brit terms ever lol.
@@G82Jesse Maths is short for mathematics. You do mathematics, not mathematic.
Most English speaking countries call it maths.
sssssssssssss. Or, maffs, as the Brits say it.
You know what's sad? If TESLA had said 'we ALMOST beat a 911 towing a 911' I would have been just as impressed.
Yeah. Now instead they'll get dragged for being deceptive. All they had to do is be honest; it is actually quite fast and it doesn't have to win to prove that point. Smh
and we dont get all this drama in a pool ??? )))
? @@tvguide4khv
I'm sure we're many who feel that way, but I guess sometimes controversy means exponentially more exposure and ultimately more sales.
For real. And they probably could have even claimed honestly that their engineers think they could actually pull it off with some light modifications (remember Tesla gets to play with the safety margins on the batteries and motors too)
Something I look for in a pickup truck is the capability to tow a sports car faster in a drag race situation than the sports car itself. Extremely important factor in my purchasing decision.
Yeah same, as i do this most weekends. People would appreciate it more if they weren't just posers buying trucks to take us space. Real truck owners tow sports cars faster than the spots cars almost daily
I initially thought they were kind of cool but they seem like a complete flop
Don't be so miserable
Clearly youve never driven on American roads amongst truck drivers. Only about 5% of them are doing truck things in them, the rest just want a big truck that goes fast. I am not surprised in the slightest to see the Cybertruck selling so successfully. Aside from lacking a V8 its perfect for the average American truck bro.
@@Roddy556 im ok with some strange car designs, I realize the cyber truck has issues well beyond it's aesthetic
What a power move to actually test that to prove the math is correct
You can't prove that the math is correct. You can correlate but math doesn't prove anything. Ever.

Once again an engineer with a white board has trumped marketing propaganda. The hero we deserve.
it was a game of other engineers )))
marketing wasn't mathing

@@masudsaleh5155 For math? It would be completely frivolous because the initial marketing claim would be deemed false advertising.
@@masudsaleh5155 For what??! He didn't do anything wrong. He just disproved a lie.
I love the fact the cybertruck board drawing is just a triangle with wheels 😂😂
Y'all I've been professionally drawing on whiteboards for about 10 years, I've got this down.
I have a snip of this (and the 911 as a Beetle, and the CT towing the 911) from the last video as my desktop background on my work PC. I work with Tesla and it's my subtle dig at the company on conference calls, which they seem find amusing.
I mean, that’s basically what the Cybertruck is too: a 3.5 ton metal triangle on wheels. I saw one parked on a street in my neighborhood recently and they actually look pretty ridiculous in person. It was too wide to fit in the parking spot and a bird had dropped a big white spot smack in the middle of the hood.
Very accurate 😂
In fairness, that was the original design sketch.
About Porsche providing the car, I think I remember Mat from the Carwow channel mentioning how Ferrari, Mclaren and so on usually, send some extra people to drag races to be around the car in case anything goes wrong, while Porsche just sends the car like "It'll do whatever you need it to".
So among all performamce brands I somewhat trust that the Porsche provided was just a regular Porsche Carrera T with no special adjustment for this specific drag race.
This has been said to me by very reliable sources
Porsche produces a huge amount of cars in comparison to a McLaren and most other sportscar brands. With increased volume comes increased production automation following reduced variability from car to car. So this just makes sense.
@@TyrusSwonagreed, also my understanding is that the Porsche 911 is currently the most reliable German car according to their equivalent of UL, which is wild.
carwow are no reliable at all, they don't have any proffessionals yet they are monopoly
@@pr0ntab Porsches are NOT reliable. Ive owned one and had more problems with it than ANY car ive ever owned.
So an aluminum single-axle trailer rated below the weight of the 911, and then they gutted 150 pounds out of the trailer. Yikes.
No wonder they were worried about safety at the 1/4 mile that thing was a death trap
And I thought their safety concerns were just a lame excuse! 😅
Kind of happy they didn't do that 1/4 mike, would have hated to work anywhere near that whole shoot
@@tach-uq5tw Yeah, can you imagine that trailer folding up at over 100 mph?
Yeah, I was wondering how they took, what, 15% of the weight out of the trailer..? I mean they're not exactly loaded with extras to begin with...
Tesla is so lucky, picking the exact right model randomly out of dozens and dozens of different 911s!
Me, closing my eyes and definitely not peeking while I select which receipt to hold up.
Tesla removing weight from the trailer and everything else is pure embarrassing. U really can't trust a thing elon says.
@@user-my4xu4gf1z Do you really think the marketing guy sat with Elon Musk 1 on 1 and they discussed they should falsely advertise the quarter mile time while towing? The Tesla employee literally stated that they ran the simulations and it won.
Now picture this: You are Elon Musk, infinite money, can get the best engineers of the planet together, they have worked on tremendously succesful projects outside and within your company. You let your engineers test, they decide to run the 1/8 mile test, it's a success, they decide to simulate a 1/4, it's a success. They get back to you (likely through a spokesperson who is that, a spokesperson, not an engineer, because I doubt communications between Elon and his employees are 1 on 1) and say that "the Cybertruck is a total success, the guys tested it, wins in 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile while towing a porsche, yes Elon, we tested on track and in the sim, it wins in both!!!!!!!!1111111111oneone".
Wouldn't you believe your engineers and proudly state your product accomplishes this impressive feat?
You just like to hate on Elon, he's still a person, he's a guy.
Pretty amazing that the Cybertruck beat the 911 while towing a 911 in the 1/8th mile. It really is a beast.
@@EngineeringExplained so you just removed my comment then, ok
This is probably the furthest anybody has gone to disprove an auto manufacturer’s marketing claims since everyone jumped on SSC for lying about the Tuatara 316mph top speed run. The automotive community needs to do this more often.
Oof, I was on the phone with Shelby for that, what a mess!
Yeah it's weird how unevenly companies can be treated. Some can get away with murder but others people twist everything even if it's crazy close at worst.
@@EngineeringExplained I think that most ( ~80% ) of the general public does not question anything anymore - Sadly!!
@@EngineeringExplained But you elected to try to trash Tesla, not the SSC🙂. I'm amazed at how many people hate Elon/Tesla. Disclaimer: sometimes I drive my Tesla w/ 160 on the busy Autobahn.
Cheers!
Edit after response: @EngineeringExplained also trashed SSC, so I was wrong about that statement.
@@mrmariusi no wonder a tesla user got offended that someone badmouthed tesla😂 tesla users are absolute snowflakes lol
everytime a cybertruck shows up on screen i think my gpu is artifacting.
The 379-horsepower 911T with a manual transmission is also the lightest and slowest 911.
The base model 911 also has only 379 horsepower, but comes only with the 8-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission, and is faster.
Optioning the lighter 911T with the PDK, would make it faster than the base 911.
The 450-horsepower 911S is significantly faster, ESPECIALLY if optioned with the PDK.
The 473-horsepower 911 GTS is the real sweet spot in the 911 line-up, and is even faster with the PDK.
The 572-horsepower all wheel drive 911 Turbo with the PDK is simply in another league.
And there really isn't anything available that's faster than the 640-horsepower all wheel drive 911 Turbo S.
We’re just gonna have to wait for the 992 generation GT2RS. 🤘🏽
@@alexhayek2691 Yeah, I didn't even bring up the GT cars- the 997 GT2 RS was 600 horsepower, the 991 GT2 RS was 700 horsepower- the 992 GT2 RS could be 800 horsepower...in a 3,200 pound car.
It was so funny that they raced an electric truck with 834HP and instant acceleration against one of the lowest models of the 911 😭😭 Like are we supposed to be impressed 💀💀
Damn it must be fun walking into a Porsche dealer. The odds of you leaving with the 911 you actually want is like 0.
This channel is such a treat! No arguing. No taking sides. Just math. And occasionally, a nice demonstration to back up said math :D
Yet there is the conversation about what Tesla did different at the very end of the video. Which does not back up the math.
Telsa did not do a querter mille in the original fisrts show of power, it was a a 8th.
Who cares? Math without empirical evidence is pretty much a useless exercise. That is the important part.
@@ArubaSailing But they claimed they would win in a 1/4, which was demonstrated to not be true.
the tesla engineer immediately responded on twitter explaining why they didnt reproduce it. didnt set up trailer properly.

@@user-jt4fy4od9r cool. We had a plaid on the bulgarian drag championship this and last year, it kinda struggled against the more modded cars on the 1st 330ft.
The Cybertruck achieves 88 mph at the 1/8 mile? That explains how they won the drag race. It begins to time-travel at the 1/8 mile, then it can finish the drag race before it even launches. You forgot to activate the flux capacitor.

Musk advertised the Tesla semi truck on how much faster it is than the normal semi, and no one cared. Semi's are not supposed to be fast, they are supposed to haul multiple tons of cargo and get it to its destination safely, speed is a small factor in that equation🤣🤣
Super genius my a$$.

it's a fake drag race. the cybertruck is a real truck from a dealer, the porsche is a tuned porsche on loan from the porsche PR team. if you knows history of Germans Press cars review from the last 20 years they all tuned the engines to give more than promise for the journalists. the maths are good.

That's crazy you calculated it exactly down to a hundredth of a second, always love this channel
he fakes his test tho. used stock stuff and in unfavorable positioning.
Jason just solidified our confidence in his math abilities for eternity.
Not only that, he shows us the math, you can fact check, so it leaves no gaps. Love that.
Anyone can do the actual maths, it's the engineering involved that's impressive. Jason had to determine _how_ to calculate the figures, then make reasonable assumptions and estimates to feed into his equations, and interpret the results from an informed viewpoint. That's not just mathematics, that's the essence of engineering
None of this is hard math
It's pretty cool how far high school physics can take you if you really understand it.
Is it sad that "you could become a UA-camr" is apparently a valid form of encouragement to get kids to learn math?
@@Sparky400 I mean way back in time someone probably said "you could become a news reporter" to encourage a kid to study, you definitely don't see anything sad about that and I definitely don't see anything different about that. Being a youtuber can mean a variety of things, ranging from dancing in public for no reason to basically making and designing a racing car at home that beats Porsche not only in the 1/4 mile but also on the track. Being a youtuber is not sad in any way and no one should be ashamed of being one. Sometimes the only difference between a university professor and a youtuber might be that the youtuber shares the same knowledge for free to everyone in a more understandable way.
@@Sparky400how is it sad
@@Sparky400 Some UA-camrs are doing $50K/month and up. Even making $5k/month as youtuber would be pretty respectable in my books.
btw, I don't mean high school physics taking Jason to where he is in life. His knowledge is definitely above high school level. I just mean that 90% of his analysis is understandable after AP physics!
I just took an automotive engineering course. I see all the equations you’re using in my textbook. Very cool! You’re explaining it in a way that grad students can agree with, but non-students can understand and enjoy. Good job!
Your honesty and transparency is so so refreshing! I agree with one of the posts below, if Tesla had said we "almost" beat a 911 it would have been true and just as impressive!
I’m 9 years past a 40 year career as a ChE. I spanned the years from a Post VersaLog to a Lenovo T60. My most important calculational tool was a simple chalkboard at the start and a whiteboard at the end. My ChE professors had 3 rules: state your basis, state your assumptions and draw a picture before you start anything else.
I'm the guy that enjoys the video until the math begins and then finds somewhere else to go.

As long as you're dealing with classical mechanics, that's always true. You might be extremely unable to do the mat because it might literally be analytically unsolvable, but to make sure your starting equations are right you should always draw a free body diagram.

As a fellow mechanical engineer, I salute your math.
To be able to get your predictions THIS close to the real numbers -- THAT is the TRUE power (of math).
The delta between your predictions and the actuals is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the run-to-run variation that you may see in said 6 runs.
That is AWESOME!!!

You pronounced Porsche correctly. Immediately earned a sub. I follow a bunch of Porsche channels and people who claim to be fanatics about the brand can't pronounce it correctly!

@@PorscheDad "As a German, I don't care how you pronounce Porsche. If you really wanted to pronounce it completely correctly, you'd also use a hard German R, which is difficult for English speakers to do casually. if we care about pronouncing one right, we also should pronounce all of them correctly dont we? If I started pronouncing brands in the 'correct' way all the time, it would get cringeworthy. Imagine trying a Japanese dialect every time you said Subaru or Mitsubishi! In fact, I like how different languages have their own pronunciations for German brands. It shows how these brands are embraced worldwide. And who realistically keeps track of all the pronunciations in every language?"

How ironic that the much-maligned Ford Lightning was used to keep the Cybertruck charged up.
thats what you took from this video? SMH
EV trucks are a joke regardless unless they have a range-extending ICE. The Ramcharger is the only EV truck that makes a modicum of sense for those who tow (which is a huge reason why many of us own trucks).
There are tons of use cases where people move a lot of stuff a short distance. These electric trucks might not be good for a lot of people, but they're fantastic for a lot of other people. A truck can be great without being good for you.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872In what scenario is a $80-100k EV truck useful for moving a lot of things short distances? The bed alone is a joke. It can barely fit a mountain bike. The price is not at all justifiable for simple trips at all. Renting a Uhaul (because most EV trucks are only available in NA) would literally cost you less than 0.001% of the price a CT. Its like $20/day plus gas. Even most people that are buying a truck for the utility and not a pavement princess are not buying the fully loaded top trim, they buy the most stripped down cheapest model. People that buy trucks for the looks don't care about moving things, that's an afterthought
Not really, they could have gotten another Cybertruck to do the same thing.
Tesla be like "WE DIDNT BEAT THE SLOWEST 911 THERE IS WITH OUR CYBERTRUCK TOWING ANOTHER 911"
I do wonder if it is like when the Cybertruck glass broke during the unveiling ceremony. This generated more clicks than if the window had not smashed. Gloomberg had a field day on that one, extrapolating that broken glass on a cybertruck clearly means all EVs will hunt down and then run over unattended children and small animals. In this case 1.1m viewers [so far] who may not have known much about a Cyber truck know it can almost beat a premium sports car while towing a premium sports car - and can thrash it into a cocked hat when one on one.
Nice one Jason - love your thoroughness and admiration for the numbers - and the hardware!

Hi Jason! I am a new viewer, this is an excellent video!
Where can I read more about the acceleration calculations? I found weight over wheels percentage * mu (I guess this is friction coefficient of the track?) a very interesting way of calculating maximum acceleration force as a fraction of gravity. It almost begs a question of how this formula is derived, as it doesn't allude to contact patch or friction of the tire compound. Is there a place I can read more or an online course I can take to do some of these calculations myself? Thanks
4 second 0-60 while towing a car is wild
12.8 sec on a 1/4 mile while towing a car is just as impressive. In the FnF quote "it's a 12 second car" , and the Porsche only .32 faster.
If they would have said "we made a 1/4 mile run with the CT against a Porsche and we only lost by .3 seconds....pause (short silence and brabble why are the telling us they lost against Porsche)... while towing a trailer with a Porsche on it", the audience would have freaked out. Then Elon would just need to say his famous words "so there's still room for improvement"

@@routybouty"just nitpicking and bashing them" He made 2 videos about a blatant lie they claimed when they announced the CyberTruck. That's it. And he's not even bashing them! Most of the video is just math and pointing out how and why the claim is wrong...
Man its ugly as hell and cant drive that far though. Beeting a sport car at the drag strip while towing it cool whatever but what about the real world outside rhe drag strip where what if you want to tow the car from arizona to luiziana or somethin
@@routyboutyfound the Tesla soyboy
Well done, excellent video. I'm a retired mechanical engineer and what stood out most clearly for me is how your mind and mine work in the same way! I've spent my life resolving engineering issues and many were resolved using the same techniques and maths as you used. Rock on!
You are perfectly insane, Jason. Beautiful work and shout out to MotorTrend, too. 😎
Good video. Just wished you made more of an effort to show how the different types of motors have an impact on acceleration. Like the reason the tesla can beet the 911 in short distances at all is likely just due to it having electric motors which have max torque at stand still and drops off as the vehicle moves faster
I think if Tesla just told and framed the story in a different way without the deceit, the truck would still be as impressive.
Imagine if they said the Cybertruck could almost match the 911 (Carrera T) in a drag race - then they drop the bomb that the truck was actually towing a 911!
Anyways, great job on the math, Jason!
Impressive effort *virtual clap on the back *
So many opportunities to make this a successful marketing campaign. Yet they chose to lie and math eventually uncovered the truth.
I see a lot of similarities with Apple/Steve Jobs and Tesla/Elon. Both were/are marketing mediocre stuff as the most innovative stuff there is.
Or just claim it beat it in an 1/8th mile race. 1/8th mile drag strips are a thing, and TBH my favorite because driver skill matter a lot more.
@@Miksumr ^ Yup. Very much the same Culty community too. Once you are into teslas, everything else is just "copying Tesla".
Whilst ignoring the fact that Tesla is buying batteries from Chinese manufacturers because they are better(BYD) batteries.
@@Olterior You can't really ignore the fact that before tesla become popular around 10 years ago, no other automaker even tried to make a fully electric car. It's more than likely that eventually someone would've come up with the idea, but the fact of the matter is that tesla's popularity opened their eyes and yes, everyone who's making electric cars since is 100% copying tesla.
Wait, Tesla lied? Oh no.
Anyway
Oh no what’s new.
Elon: "I'm confident, blah blah blah"
Ok, so you're lying 😂
lol did you even watched the full video
@@noizz4 I did. Why? Oh you mean because of the comment time?
“Starting at under 40k”
Wauw that cyber truck is just as fast as a 911 TOWING a 911!
That’s seriously impressive! Great video!
Always interesting, thank you.
Mad props man, the first video was amazing but nailing it with an actual experiment is crazy ...
Did you watch the end of the video? Tesla stripped weight off the trailer and had the Porsche closer to the truck and the hitch lower. It does not take much to get to the point of beating the Porsche, it is already so close, by calculation and by this experiment.
@@dirkbester9050So lying is ok?
The Fast and the Furious reference got me!! 😂🤣
Another great video!
someone very wise 😂😂
Is the Cybertruck a 10 second car?
"I almost had you!"
@@snorman1911 You almost had ME?! You never had me! You never had your car!! 😂 CLASSIC!
Very well done, thank you for all the awesome content you keep making 👍🏻
A Motortrend collab sounds like a car UA-camr's dream, super sick!
There's a 12 year old video on my channel of me trying to work for them; we've come full circle!
This is a great youtube channel. Really the best type of channel. I feel proud that I was here early. Long live Engineering Explained.
Thank youu! And thanks for sticking around - truly what makes it possible! 🙌
i love that you were scared to correct your direction in your run. i would have been terrified to slightly adjust the wheel to the right going 120mph while towing.
Excellent job. Keep it up. I always enjoy.
If u look for the definition of Over-Hyped u'll see Cybertruck in front of it.
overhyped by whom though? its pretty much all MSM
yes, this video doesn't help the situation@18:54
Elon is just an insecure ass dude. First he hates on every other EV company openly on X. Hates on Instagram and Facebook in order to boost X. Lies all the time about release dates, what teslas will be capable of doing, range estimates, uses rollout for all their claimed "0-60" times, etc.. I wanted to like the guy but he really is a straight up deceiver. The worst part is tesla sheep fans will believe everything he says. I think he does most of this out of insecurities
It’s still pretty impressive. But the haters ignore that.
@@shou635ah yes. A car that literally rusts just by being parked in the Sun is impressive. You're delusional
I've never clicked on an Engineering Explained video so fast😂😂. Here early Because the tesla fan boyz are on their way to make excuse...
😂😂😂
the excuses are in the video already, talking about comment before watching
@@noizz4He's referring to the actual Fanboys themselves commenting. Not what was already represented in the video. Talking about not being able to comprehend while you read...
They were making such excuses yesterday when MT’s video on this dropped.
@@atrain132Thank you....
Good thing you got this done before every Cybertruck was recalled!
Also, I bet that acceleration pedal cover slipping off and getting stuck under the floor board really helped you here! :rofl:
Your videos are super good, as usual.
Wow, with the ford charging the tesla you really thought about every single bit of doubt anyone could have about your test.
You overengineered your proof so much, I'm really impressed.
All the real car guys *knew* this couldn’t be true, as it just felt wrong. You’ve proved it. Excellent work.
"raal car guys" 💀
Real car guys absolutely also want to hit 100 mph in a quarter mile while towing another car. 😅
Elon is a show off, like always!
Still incredibly impressive.
“Lead Cybertruck Engineer” does not seem like something one would want to advertise too hard.
Great video and math work! I went back and re-watched the Tesla produced video and noticed that at no time can you see the tread on the cybertruck tires. I find myself wondering if perhaps they had race prepped them for a little extra stickiness and used a cyberbeast variant and maybe the extra power and extra traction may have helped a bit. No harm in a manufacturer stacking the deck a little for their products, right?
It speaks volumes that you are compelled to be honest and transparent about even something so simple as not having watched their video yet because yours was recorded first. This was super awesome content, excellent mathing and a great experimental result to boot!
This channel makes math and engineering the coolest profession ever! 💪
Awesome video, love to see theory and math work so well. Very cool!
Love the drawing of the cybertruck on the white board.
Gentlemen, join us as we observe the victory of our beloved whiteboard connoisseur over blatant marketing.
That said, you HAVE TO hand it to Tesla engineers, it really blows my mind to see a fkng truck be so quick that it basically keeps up with a car on the drag strip while towing another.
It does not take engineers. Any electrician can build a quickly accelerating vehicle.
@@mikek5298 it's really easier said than done. And I say this as an electrical engineer.
@@moldytexas The only hard part is making it safe. Electric Motors are just that insanely powerful. Anyone who's mind is blown by the Cybertruck hasn't followed the F-150 Lightning or Rivian R1T like... At all.
You know, you could have also made a back of the envelope calculation by taking all of the time that Space Karen lied to the simps, and just extrapolated that it was a lie. Easy.
The only negative from this is that the picture for the 911 does no longer represent a VW Beetle which disappoints.
Maybe Porche's price for providing the cars was that Jason had to draw it properly lol
Haha, I try not to use the same joke twice. Obviously a miss!
can a vw beetle beat a cybertruck towing a vw beetle in a drag race tho?
@@119793”We’re going to need bigger tires.”
Could you make a comparison video about F1 and Indycar engines?
This was a generally way better video than the first one. This was also presented logically way better than the first video. Actually it was world class logically. Great to see such a big improvement from already decent logic. Great work
Such a good video, Jason doing what he does best. 👏 Jason + MotorTrend is a good combo.
They may have also raced at altitude, which would put the Porsche at a disadvantage.
Our drag strip was higher elevation than the one Tesla tested at (still fairly close to sea level, and since Porsche is turbocharged it's not a huge impact).
Or on Mars
I like how Jason drew the Cybertruck as a triangle, lol
You nailed this video! Awesome content. Thank you!
The fact he takes the time to accurately draw a cyber truck is a feat that deserves a shout-out.
Love the video juat wish was a clip showing the full run from start to finish
The sarcasm in these dudes videos has gone through the roof. Definitely like the humor.
That generator on wheels is funny Af. 😂
It's great the MotorTrend put this to bed, but even greater that they collaborated with you on it. I watched both videos, both were great. Excellent all around.
