AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/25 Report--

Presumably for the car "tug of war" such a race is not uncommon, in order to prove how good the vehicle ability, often appear in the hard-line SUV competition. Recently, some foreign media have published such a competition video on the Internet, with the protagonist Tesla Cybertruck who has just appeared recently.

From the video point of view, this is the video of Tesla electric pickup Cybertruck and Ford Fmur150 pickup "tug of war" on the uphill road. On the left is the Ford pickup F150 in the downhill direction, and on the right is Tesla Cybertruck in the uphill direction. In the end, the Cybertruck wins completely and easily pulls the Fmuri 150 away. The Fmuri 150, which took advantage of it, was defeated by the strong tractive force of the Cybertruck and was pulled away backwards almost without struggle.

Although the video is only ten seconds short, many netizens say it is unfair and affected by too many factors, which is not comparable.

Official figures show that the Cybertruck is divided into three versions, namely, single-motor rear-drive, dual-motor all-wheel drive and three-motor versions, with a maximum acceleration of 2.9 seconds from 0 to 60mph. Although the weight of the model has not been officially released, it can be speculated that the maximum weight of Tesla's super pickup truck is close to 3 tons. The body size is 5890*2030*1930mm.

And the Ford F150 body size 5890*2192*1961mm, using a 5.4L V8 engine, 336 power, 456 horsepower, weight 2.7t, the actual aspects are similar to the Tesla pickup truck, but a fuel a pure electricity.

In fact, there are many determinants of car tug-of-war, including body weight, grip, horsepower, torque and driving mode. in addition, the width of the tire, the difference in tire pressure and even the pattern of the tire will affect the friction coefficient of the whole vehicle. The start of the electric drive is faster than that of the fuel drive, which is equivalent to making the first move. It is worth noting that Tesla pickup started to pull Ford first, and the passive grip was also reduced.

For the car "tug-of-war" competition, in addition to Bobo eyeballs, manufacturing gimmicks, and does not have any reference significance, nor can it show how strong the power of the vehicle is. It's just that some media or manufacturers like to mislead consumers by using car tug-of-war as a gimmick.

Before that, there were cases in which the Land Rover Guardian could not pull the Audi A6L. Can it be understood that the Land Rover Guardian's power is worse than that of the A6L, so the test model has to be carried out in a more professional venue and in a more professional situation.

However, the official release of Tesla electric pickup truck Cybertruck did attract a lot of netizens' attention, and founder Elon Musk tweeted that Cybertruck is a better pickup than Fmuri 150 and faster than Porsche 911. According to media reports, as of November 25th, the number of orders for 10Drex 18century Cybershop reached 200000, just three days.

Musk also proudly pointed out that this sales result can be achieved without any publicity fees or endorsements.

It is worth mentioning that due to the rollover site where Tesla demonstrated "failed to smash the glass with a hammer" on the day of the press conference, Tesla's share price fell by 6% in one day, meaning that Musk's net worth evaporated 7.7 billion US dollars. Because this operation makes it seem that Tesla's quality is unreliable and needs to be improved.

Of course, many people think that the scene of the "rollover" was deliberately arranged by Tesla. In order to win better publicity results, after all, it was the vehicle glass that went wrong, not the vehicle itself. Tesla could have cooperated with a manufacturer of better quality. However, judging from the current stock price, the loss outweighs the gain.
