I stand corrected. I must admit that I often regard what Musk has to say as overly optimistic or hyperbole. I think he just screwed up on this one.Dude. He literally said quarter mile. 27 min mark. Go.

A shot of the engineers cringing would have been perfect there when Musk said 1/4 mile.I stand corrected. I must admit that I often regard what Musk has to say as overly optimistic or hyperbole. I think he just screwed up on this one.
I thought the conclusion was it still would have been even at the quarter mile, but they didn't want to risk it.A shot of the engineers cringing would have been perfect there when Musk said 1/4 mile.
Hmm.. someone needs to try it. Base 911 is 12.2 @ 116mph.I thought the conclusion was it still would have been even at the quarter mile, but they didn't want to risk it.
Towing at 116 mph is probably the sketchy part. The trailers aren't rated for that.Hmm.. someone needs to try it. Base 911 is 12.2 @ 116mph.
It's just so weird how every single time Musk "screws up" it's always beneficial to him. Quarter mile, two weeks, funding secured....I think he just screwed up on this one.
0-60 under 1 second. Oh that's km/h.It's just so weird how every single time Musk "screws up" it's always beneficial to him. Quarter mile, two weeks, funding secured....
Nope, Engineering explained did all the math and it would lose no question at 1/4 mile.I thought the conclusion was it still would have been even at the quarter mile, but they didn't want to risk it.

I mean you can see it at the 1/8 mile that there is no way the slowest 911 isn't gaining on the Cybertruck. This is where they were at the 1/8th after a much larger gap at the launch:

You are definitely all correct there. However, let's be honest. A vehicle weighing that much doing 0-60 mph in 2.6 and 1/4 mile in low 11s or better is pretty impressive to us on its own. However, to any normal person they can't even comprehend the difference between a 10.9 second 1/4 mile and an 11.5 second 1/4 mile even though the 10.9 1/4 mile is SOOOOO much harder to achieve with that sized vehicle.@n2mb_racing - So what I get from that thread is that Tesla never actually ran a quarter mile, has no idea what the actual quarter mile is, but that didn't stop them from publishing a video that says it's a quarter mile, and publishing a quarter mile, because they have faith in their simulations. Oh, and they never actually show you the "best" 1/8th in the video either, so you have to trust them that the Cybertruck is faster than they showed.
Yep, not slimy of "desperate" at all, but rear seats out of a Taycan are just Porsche doing ridiculous things because they are so scared of Tesla.
Reminder that a Cybertruck by itself can't beat a higher end 911 in the quarter, even without towing a 911:
I bet Elon has been made aware.A shot of the engineers cringing would have been perfect there when Musk said 1/4 mile.
Amazingly common among humans, called human nature.It's just so weird how every single time Musk "screws up" it's always beneficial to him.
It is, which is what makes all the lies and exaggerations even more annoying. Definitely one of my least favorite parts of Tesla.A vehicle weighing that much doing 0-60 mph in 2.6 and 1/4 mile in low 11s or better is pretty impressive to us on its own
No, you don't understand, they ran a simulation that said it could do those things, so no need to actually do it. It's the same thing.Why do they have to do the shenanigans of quoting rollout time, quoting a top speed it can't achieve without a $20k brake retrofit, and quoting a trap speed it can't achieve when the real trap speed is still amazing.
So to summarize the last several pages, the taycan (7:07, $230,000) is ~4% faster around the a track than the plaid ($110,000, 7:25) at ~110% increase in price. is it worth it? only you can decide, because I can't afford either.
