A Cybertruck Tow Competition...

[drdumont]

Well, someone finally did it. Took a a Cybertruck to a Tractor Pull. See how the CT did against a Diesel Pickup truck...

Jump to 17:10 for the pull and skip all the crap before hand.

Well that did not go as well as I thought it would. True it was an AWD but even taking that into account.

Recall the PR video results on the Tri-Beast.

He had split the power unevenly between the axles, but I wonder if had he split 50-50 or just 100% to the rear axle what difference it might have made?
Pretty impressive, tho. The Diesel pickup weighed much more than the CT, which I had not expected.

I would think on a dirt track the type of tires would be very important but they didn’t say what tires each one had.

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks!

I thought the Cybertruck could outpull an F 350 Diesel.

One might wonder what level of traction control was still on? And how much power was actually being delivered the motors. Probably needs a tractor pull mode!

I assume they meant the CB, which this wasn't, but still...we know it also can't tow a Porsche 911 faster than the 911 in the 1/4 mile, too.

The CB would certainly have been closer (it wouldn't win) and that was not a stock F350, it was custom built truck.

 

[PA-Fatboy]

That was interesting!

Zooming is it appears both had very similar AT tires.

I think the biggest hindrance (other then weight) on the CT was suspension, notice how much the CT squatted and bounced around where the Ram was pretty calm and stable.

Also Tesla is not well known for stellar traction control…

Seeing the stock CT tires in person they are not a great loose dirt tire. They look like AT tires from the side but the tread pattern definitely was designed to help with range more than traction.

Most AT tires look like that these days. The conti terrain contact AT is one of the best AT tires out there right now. I’ve seen the CT tire in person, I drove one ~3 months ago when I got my email from Tesla to buy, that I turned down.

lol. Does seem the variables were a bit altered. As the MS is not a MSP, a CT is not a CB. Fun though.

I have these on my current Truck. Great traction in Rain and Snow. Decent traction in Mud.
