Bad analogy as one is subjective marketing (lies) /s
and the other uses empirical testing and facts.

Yes, all marketing uses empirical testing and facts lol

It was such a stupid thing for Tesla to do when they knew it was easily fact-checked. That is the obvious difference here.

Then again Elon is misleading on many things he has said for years now. He has lost a ton of credibility in the past few years.

It was fun. I was amused. It was not meant as a specific performance metric.

Every automotive commercial I've ever seen included the disclaimer: "NOTE: Performed by a professional driver on a closed road. Do not attempt. Demoed vehicle included option packages that are $30,000 more than the price shown."

It's all just puffery.


P.S. Coke™ tests better

Of course if you unburden the CT (no trailer w Porsche), the CT blows it away...

And yes, Coke does tase better!

Oh, what’s this. A small little graphic that they tried to hide in the video. Engineering explained was never in launch mode /beast mode…

There was a reason they kept on trying to hide the interior shot of the truck, but kept on showing the interior gauge cluster of the 911.

1/4 MILE

1/8 MILE

The fact that we're comparing a truck to a Porsche. That alone lol

Also don't forget this was on All Terrain Tires. If they used All Seasons, then I'd expect a much faster time. This is all 1/8 mile, BTW. Even though it would improve the 1/4 mile, I'm not sure it'd be enough...

Also, I'm sure Tesla used launch mode!

Has the top speed firmware been released yet for the Cyberbeast? I didn’t watch (don’t want to give $5) the video. If they ran without that update this is an invalid test. “Elon lied” people need to stuff it a bit longer. ?

The top speed of 112 mph for the dual and Tri-Beast (future 130 mph) has *nothing* to do with this. It is not a power update but a speed limiter (governor) update. There is no excuse for the lack of Tesla/Elon's honesty and integrity here.

Clearly, it only hit 105 mph per all the information and graphics above.
