Following a video released by Tesla, where the Cybertruck was seen beating a Porsche 911, a Reddit user justified why the race was “misleading.”
At the launch of its Cybertruck, on November 30, Tesla showed several videos, to illustrate the quality of its electric pickup truck, mainly the Cyberbeast version, with 845 horsepower and 515 kilometers of autonomous driving.
Through videos, Tesla showed how the Cybertruck withstands gunfire and wins while towing, when placed side by side with direct competitors like the Ford F-150 Lighting, Rivian R1T or Ford F-350.
The video that excited the most people and surprised customers and enthusiasts the most was the video showing the Cybertruck's power test: The Cyberbeast, towing a Porsche 911, was fastest in a classic quarter-mile (402-mile) drag race. meters) from a Porsche 911 (model not clear).
The result of the video is the Elon Musk and Tesla version. However, like many people who were suspicious, the Reddit user manitou202 He admitted that he went "to do some digging," and shared what he found: The range shown by the manufacturer corresponds not to a quarter of a mile, but rather to an eighth of a mile (201 metres).

According to the user, “The first set of lines that appear in the video is the 1/8 mile mark; The second set of lines is the 1/4 mile marker and has timing boards next to the track.
Based on the video, they are racing to the first set of lines and the timing frames are non-existent.
So it was only a 1/8 mile walk. Very misleading.
