I agree, I think the problem is the way they pushed EV's on people. Politicians talking about making laws that by 2035 all new cars will need to be EV. If they promoted EV as an alternative for people interested and stopped with the false claims about it being environmentally friendly I think less people would have such a bad attitude about them. Simple truth is EV's simply don't work for a lot of people while they do work for some others. Let the individual decide what is right for them and keep the government out of it.
@@awdeveau I agree with you. The only advantage to having governments set a deadline is that it gives a push to manufacturers, scientists and inventors to develop battery and charging technology that would be a real viable alternative to our current combustion engines and hopefully, even surpass them in range and performance. Thus far, the technology doesn't look as if it is going to materialise before that deadline. In the meantime, I'm sticking to my 3 litre diesel. Whilst I don't think that current battery technology is as green as they are touting, I do advocate that vehicles in cities with heavy traffic congestion be mostly EVs as that would really help to keep the air quality in cities and large towns cleaner and healthier. In that respect, EVs have an important role to play.
The cast aluminum is pretty strong but very brittle compared to steel. It will do just fine if you load it along the right axis. Obviously that doesn’t always happen when towing but a tractor pull is about the best case scenario for the aluminum.

I'm not a CyberTruck fan, but I think the results come down to tires and weight. The CyberTruck has plenty of power, but that doesn't mean much if there's no traction. So while I'm happy to see the Ram win, it ultimately doesn't mean as much as people probably want to think. Also have to say, everyone has such a bias against the CT that I actually find myself rooting for it in a way. The people vocally hating it do so for dumb reasons. I don't think anyone is buying a CT to tow cross-country (and if they do, they're stupid). But having a vehicle with a bed for weekend HomeDepot runs or towing a boat to a nearby lake once in a while is a perfectly legitimate task for a vehicle, and it does that just fine. It's probably better thought of as a modern El Camino.. no one ragged on that for having a low payload/towing capacity, yet the CT will also have the benefit of being better in snow, very quick, and more efficient from an energy-per-mile perspective. Sounds like a worthy vehicle to me.. Also, you gotta give credit to Tesla for actually making something so bold and controversial. Every other truck looks pretty much the same, which is fine, but it's nice to see something break the mold and take a chance once in a while. Done with rant, really enjoyed the video 👍🏼
Looks like the back wheel motor stalled out. The truck had plenty of traction. It just needed more like 80% power directed to the back motor. Or the motor isn't powerful enough for this.

@balloonb0y677 how the hell did you come up with this thought is the real question. Traction control, is literally for loss of traction. Had nothing to do with fighting against loss of momentum. If it detects wheel spin, it cuts power to thst wheel, which results in loss of momentum, while keeping traction. Traction itself allows you to get momentum, but not these traction control systems.
@@bualdoot83 you do realize that traction control doesn’t just cut off power to wheels with no power… it uses that extra power to give to other wheels 🤯
What a fantastic episode from every aspect. I love the lady's speech at the Drivers meeting on the farmers putting on the show and feeding us. Very touching.
Makes people that don't know nothing about sled pulling get a good idea how everything works. And I own a 2500 Cummins no intention to sled pull just haul my boat to the ramp 😂.
That was a fun video. The crowd being there made it better. The pressure I felt on your behalf as you were pulling in front of them was palpable. Great job.
Sled pulling is awesome. My dad and his buddies used to have pulling trucks and we might actually be building another one at some point. I really dont like the Cybertruck but ig it is kinda interesting to see how it does compared to other trucks. The saying around here is "if parts arent flying you aint trying" because it can get expensive real quick😂
Outside the practical box yeah. Most people that buy a truck, want a truck. Imagine trying to load or unload a cyberturd from either side like you can do, with any other truck...
@@jamesaustralian9829 Any other truck except for the ones I see jacked up to where the sides of the box are above head height. The people who buy trucks for "practical" reasons are a small fraction of the total number of pickup truck buyers. Most pickup trucks are never driven off road and seldom have anything bigger than a bag of groceries put in the bed-- maybe a chest of drawers when their kid moves out of the house. Pickup trucks are largely bought and driven by people who are more concerned about their image than practicality. That's why they sell plastic bed liners for pickup trucks by the hundreds of thousands.
@jamesaustralian9829 most people who buy a truck don't tow anything, especially loads like this on unpaved surfaces. Don't get so triggered little boy
@@jamesaustralian9829 Most people that buy a truck don't even use it for truck things. You probably bought a cummins to look cool lmao. Bro got triggered
Yes the cybertruck is much more capable, they should have tried with the other modes and maybe also without traction control. Also the tires should be deflated and maybe use better tires
@@StefanoFinocchiaro Kinda what I was thinking too because if you notice at one point shortly after starting the right rear tire was not turning, so I imagine traction control crippled it
Came here to say this. With TC off, it would /could have roasted the tires... which would probably have led to a similar run. I'm no Tesla fan, but it could have done much better.
Not sure what was different, but the over cranked b-roll, GFX, informative cutaways, and little things like the placement of you guys addressing the camera really made this a fun video to watch.

Ask a farmer how far a electric car will go On one 400 W solar panel given the normal day of five hours at Full sun and see what their answer is. His answer will be I don’t know, but it can’t go very far. Then he will say it’s just common sense.
Thanks guys. As a non American all of the info this video offered was new to me. The video got me actually more than a bit interested in the sport! Wish i could see a big event live out there over the pond. All kinds of interesting vehicles and powerplants!!! 😊
Andree and Roman, great video. I think if I recall the Rivian did a lot better in the tractor pulling than your cyber truck just did but you only have the dual. Y’all need a new 2025 Rivianquad and try. at almost 1200 pound foot lbs of torque the new Rivian should put on a show.
@@volvo09 Not true, the CT can disengage traction control. There are a lot of different driving modes that give you varying degrees of traction, from full on to full off. Plenty of videos out there of the CT drifting on a dirt road.
Fun stuff...back in the late 70's at the Sawgrass Recreational Park in Broward County Florida, I pulled a sled with my 71 Jeep CJ5 with a 4Cylinder, second gear low range, nearly a full pull...I think that motor had maybe 45 HP! Tractors do it all the time.... We are all so obsessed with HP that we forget that people pulled very heavy things with way less...it is about traction and gears!
It would be cool to see all the full size trucks compete in a tractor pull. F150, Silverado, ram 1500, tundra, and the titan. Just for fun. Or maybe they would only get 5 feet lol.
For the record, Tesla SuperCharger rates are typically 3x the local residential rate that is in effect at that time of day. You can charge at home for 1/3 to 1/5 that cost depending on time of day. That means the CyberTruck could have gotten that 107 KWH of energy at home for about $12.
Only people lucky enough to own a house with its own land where you can park next to your own house can 'charge at home'. The other 90% of people cannot.
Yup. Charging my car at $0.11 / KWh at home, in Colorado. 100 miles cost me $3. 100 miles w my Ford Explorer cost $14 😂 Guess which own I use when just need to commute...
TIRES TIRES TIRES!!!!! Put OFF ROAD tires on the CT THEN see what happens!!! you where using ALL SEASON on the truck!!! Thats like putting snow shoes on a down hill skier!!!
You can hear the Big Oil CEOs laughing. We have been brainwashed since we first rolled our hot wheel truck across the living room with a Shell Oil sticker on it. The hate is real.

Great video, guys! I think we need to get all the electric pickup trucks setup with the best tires and suspension setups and have some experienced sled-pullers do some pulls. I think that would be awesome! Lets keep in mind that sled pulls aren't generally done using stock trucks, so lets give the EVs the advantage they need as well.
I like how the announcer was egging the crowd on. 🤣. Cheer me or boo me, but buy a ticket! Don't take the boos personally guys,. It's just part of the show.👍
no, it’s not part of the show. That comment that Person made is exactly what they meant and I know this because I had one of these people shout at me as he drove by when I was plugging in the companies electric vehicle.
@@SeohnAranys ...and the fans who boo'd Earnhardt really didn't like him. I spent quite a few years covering Motorsports as an event photographer. I'm going to stick with it being an integral part of the show. Just like a football game. If the crowd isn't wound up about something then it's going to be boring.
Why did they think you were from California? The plates say Colorado! Jee some people are so sensitive. You should have brought a John Deere or a Massy
Great entertainment. Learned a ton about sled pulling. Can't wait for the rematch with the CyberBeast! I have a Cybertruck on order... I'm guessing one year until delivery. Can't wait!!! Thanks guys!
Better tires (!) and more weight on the rear of the CT would have exceeded 300 feet easy. Come on TFL - get the CT proper A/T tires like you did for the Ram. The OEM tires are a compromise at best as most people prefer range over off road vs TFL which focuses on off road driving and upgrades the tires on most of your trucks. DO IT 🙏
I used to sled pull. More HP in my diesel truck than Nascar. Nothing beats that rumble. The torque of an EV would do quite well. edit: after watching - surprised it didn't pull it more. Must be a limiter built into the cybertruck.
Some other commentator said that they should lower the air pressure like you would in any off-road situation, and put more weight on the rear axle. And then, since this is a 1/2 ton going up against the 3/4 ton truck, maybe put different tires on and use the tri motor cyber beast. I think that would be a little bit more same class. Nobody would even think about putting an F150 against that dodge ram built as it is and expecting it to win. And then show the screens on the cyber truck to prove that it was in all those proper settings.
That's what country folk are becoming: fearful of anyone who's not exactly like them. If they take time to realize you're not 'a threat' to them, they're OK, but until then...
I’m originally from Milwaukee my mom was a country girl Wisconsin Madison area my ex was from Northern Wisconsin and I spent a couple years living up close to Stevens point in the late 70s common sense is not very common especially in rural America. They are easily driven by people they wanna believe and we’ve also been manipulated and then become manipulators. It’s sad to see The gift that people are being given with the electric vehicle revolution, solar panels on their barns and they would have free fuel. Instead, they get bent over and over by the oil companies in the powers that be, and don’t see that this would be a great freedom for them.
@@johnstubbe3113 Solar panels would be great if it wasn't for the fact that 100% of solar companies are a scam nightmare and not in any way beneficial to the consumer. If you go the buying route it's insanely expensive for the equipment. Prices need to come down.
He put the power out lower, we wanted to see 100%power it wasn’t the same thing. That’s why the cyber truck didn’t do good. He didn’t even peddle too the metal anyways.
are you drunk?! the cummins diesel has barely 400hp, the tesla two motors has 600hp+ the tesla is the most powerful truckand really mind blowing the less powerful diesel tows 20,000lbs while the tesla barely 11,000lbs.
a 260hp bmw x5 diesel tows about 7700lbs while the 1020hp tesla modelx plaid barely tows 5000lbs. the diesel still gets way more range even while towing than the electric one.
@@alanmay7929I think there is far more to towing than engine horsepower and torque. The cybertruck wasn’t meant to compete against 2500 diesel trucks. It was meant to be an EV. It does everything very well. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But no need to be rude
@@b22chris wow!!! rude how exactly?! wasnt the cybertruck made to get 500 miles? tow 14,000lbs..... of course it doesnt compare to 2500hd, but even a good specced ford f150 can tow up to 14,000lbs and also didnt tesla did a stunt on internet against a ford f350?! what was the point of that?!
@@b22chris its funny how EVs are very good at 0-60 but when it comes to real stuffs there is nothing to show literaly! a body on frame truck is made to have single/double cab! longer bed! allow tons and tons of customisations from dump truck to utility truck bed, ambulance and much more!
considering the fixed 60/40 split between front and rear in this case. the tri motor is better because of the 2 rear motors not sharing the power for the 2 rear wheels and better of being 80/20 or option to change on the fly when less traction on front or rear to push to the wheels that have the traction apply more power to them
That is why I hate the EV's, the government says you will like it or else. The ultimate goal is no personal transportation for the vast majority of people.
@@jebsdaddy141 Yup I would have no beef with EVs if they were not government subsidized. Government rebates when you buy it, cheaper or free license plates and they don't pay anything towards road maintenance. If you grow your own corn and turn it in to ethanol and fuel your car with it you still owe the government motor fuel tax for every gallon you use. Same if you run a diesel on waste oil. EVs get to use the roads yet pay nothing towards their upkeep. When and if EVs were ready for prime time people would switch on their own. They wouldn't have to be bribed with taxpayer money or forced into it because everything else is banned. The government didn't have to pay people to switch from horses to Model Ts. Imagine that when Henry Ford built his quadracycle (the car he made before the Model T) the government said "Wow that is great! Let's start killing horses and demand people drive Quadracycles." That would have been a disaster. I think the whole "phasing out all ICE by 2030" will be a disaster. When and if EVs are ready, people will buy them. For most people they just are not worth it yet.
@@jebsdaddy141 I love that you think you even have a say or choice in the matter, Ev's have already been choosen as the future. If you look at europe for example they have already begin the transition and america will not fall behind.

@balloonb0y677 how the hell did you come up with this thought is the real question. Traction control, is literally for loss of traction. Had nothing to do with fighting against loss of momentum. If it detects wheel spin, it cuts power to thst wheel, which results in loss of momentum, while keeping traction. Traction itself allows you to get momentum, but not these traction control systems.
@@bualdoot83 you do realize that traction control doesn’t just cut off power to wheels with no power… it uses that extra power to give to other wheels 🤯
Why would you do this with a dual motor CT and not the tri motor cyberbeast?
Now, that's something I never thought I would see a cyber truck do. LOVED IT!
What a fantastic episode from every aspect. I love the lady's speech at the Drivers meeting on the farmers putting on the show and feeding us. Very touching.
Glad Andre was able to make it out of that crowd unscathed...great video guys!
I love the hatred in the crowd. It means my retirement is secure.
I think the screaming Go back to California! guy was the only actually mad hillbilly. I would have been amused for sure.
And it's not even the Cyberbeast...
Where the hell you buying diesel for 3 bucks a gallon?
Dude explaining it all is a really good teacher !
Makes people that don't know nothing about sled pulling get a good idea how everything works. And I own a 2500 Cummins no intention to sled pull just haul my boat to the ramp 😂.
That was a fun video. The crowd being there made it better. The pressure I felt on your behalf as you were pulling in front of them was palpable. Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Cybertruck pull at 17:56
My hero!
I want to see the Tesla Semi do that with both rear axles engaged. Diggin' the CT content. Doing what no else is doing with it.
Sled pulling is awesome. My dad and his buddies used to have pulling trucks and we might actually be building another one at some point. I really dont like the Cybertruck but ig it is kinda interesting to see how it does compared to other trucks. The saying around here is "if parts arent flying you aint trying" because it can get expensive real quick😂
Would be interesting to know the % of battery consumed on that 1 pull
Probably 1%.
About 2%. Maybe.

The video with the cyber truck pulling starts at 17:35
Tysm
That truck is more American made than anything in the parking lot.
This needs to be a regular thing. now we need to know what Ford and GM can do.
You can say what you want about the cyber truck, but they’re thinking outside the box with videos and I appreciate that
Outside the practical box yeah. Most people that buy a truck, want a truck. Imagine trying to load or unload a cyberturd from either side like you can do, with any other truck...
@@jamesaustralian9829 Any other truck except for the ones I see jacked up to where the sides of the box are above head height. The people who buy trucks for "practical" reasons are a small fraction of the total number of pickup truck buyers. Most pickup trucks are never driven off road and seldom have anything bigger than a bag of groceries put in the bed-- maybe a chest of drawers when their kid moves out of the house. Pickup trucks are largely bought and driven by people who are more concerned about their image than practicality. That's why they sell plastic bed liners for pickup trucks by the hundreds of thousands.
@jamesaustralian9829 most people who buy a truck don't tow anything, especially loads like this on unpaved surfaces. Don't get so triggered little boy
@@jamesaustralian9829 Most people that buy a truck don't even use it for truck things. You probably bought a cummins to look cool lmao. Bro got triggered
Traction control really strangled the fridge today😂
Yes the cybertruck is much more capable, they should have tried with the other modes and maybe also without traction control. Also the tires should be deflated and maybe use better tires
@@StefanoFinocchiaro 100%. These guys are such amateurs.
@@StefanoFinocchiaro Kinda what I was thinking too because if you notice at one point shortly after starting the right rear tire was not turning, so I imagine traction control crippled it
Came here to say this. With TC off, it would /could have roasted the tires... which would probably have led to a similar run. I'm no Tesla fan, but it could have done much better.
😂😂😂😂😂
"Have a nice trip back to California." 😂 That ish was funny.
Not sure what was different, but the over cranked b-roll, GFX, informative cutaways, and little things like the placement of you guys addressing the camera really made this a fun video to watch. I’ve been watching the channels for a long time and you’re definitely capitalizing on what works and overall production value. Nice!
My dad is in the crowd! Glad you guys made it out to Sterling!
Is he one of the bitter ones who can't accept change ?
@@AdrianMcDaid its not even about accepting change. Rednecks love to see what random crap can do so it'd be right up their alley later on when these dumpster fires are in the junk yard
It’s an American truck built and designed in the US. I can appreciate that over supporting other vehicles. Do I love it? Not really but we have the freedom to buy whatever we want in this country. So let people do whatever they want.
Unfortunately, California wants to change what you can buy. They will dictate your choices.
I don’t agree with some of the things California does, but overall they typically are following the trends in Europe. Which are way ahead when it comes to protecting people from hazardous or cancer Causing materials.
Ask a farmer how far a electric car will go On one 400 W solar panel given the normal day of five hours at Full sun and see what their answer is. His answer will be I don’t know, but it can’t go very far. Then he will say it’s just common sense.

Andree and Roman, great video. I think if I recall the Rivian did a lot better in the tractor pulling than your cyber truck just did but you only have the dual. Y’all need a new 2025 Rivianquad and try. at almost 1200 pound foot lbs of torque the new Rivian should put on a show.
Agreed.
@@TFLtruck A $/foot metric might apply.
This was a very fun and entertaining video to watch! Keep up the great work fellas!
Thanks! Will do!
big ups that lady that had you - this truck pull club needs the love
Starts @ 17:56
That def aint a pull in wisconsin stands would be full
There were there early hoping for no crowd actually.
@@Scott-sm9nmYou don’t generally have the drivers meeting and pulls going in the background “early”. That was the crowd
Can you turn traction control off on the CT? All that power and the wheels weren't even spinning...
No, it's forced on. Can't do a burnout or spin the wheels like crazy.
@@volvo09 Not true, the CT can disengage traction control. There are a lot of different driving modes that give you varying degrees of traction, from full on to full off. Plenty of videos out there of the CT drifting on a dirt road.
One of the best TFL videos you've done recently.
Cybertruck test. 17:15
It's been so many years since I've watched Fast Lane that I forgot who they are. It only took me less than 2 minutes to regret clicking on this video.
Great idea guys
Yah. This should apply to every new truck type with a hitch.
Where you getting diesel for 2.65 a gallon? National average is 3.44
Right? Here in ATL it's closer to $4 statewide and not readily available either. 🤔
Yeah true, now that I think of it, it’s generally a dollar more than gas at $4.39
Temu
We were in east Texas this past Christmas and it was around 2.65-2.69 the whole week.
It's closer to 5 in northern CA
Roman and Andre should make a driving cross-country buddy movie.
😂 that’s funny
Interesting I
I did not know how the system worked at all.
Really informative.
Thanks
For the CyberTruck, I'm thinking you need the 3 motor version plus a swimming pool with a young lady sunbathing 😁
Cool to learn how the sleds work at a tractor pull. Surprised how well the stock 2500 did.
16:04 Start
Had a blast with this one! 😊
I think the CyberBeast would do just fine in this competition.
Fun stuff...back in the late 70's at the Sawgrass Recreational Park in Broward County Florida, I pulled a sled with my 71 Jeep CJ5 with a 4Cylinder, second gear low range, nearly a full pull...I think that motor had maybe 45 HP! Tractors do it all the time.... We are all so obsessed with HP that we forget that people pulled very heavy things with way less...it is about traction and gears!
It would be cool to see all the full size trucks compete in a tractor pull. F150, Silverado, ram 1500, tundra, and the titan. Just for fun. Or maybe they would only get 5 feet lol.
the different classes have different sled weights, so they could have that competition, but the results wouldn't be comparable.
For the record, Tesla SuperCharger rates are typically 3x the local residential rate that is in effect at that time of day. You can charge at home for 1/3 to 1/5 that cost depending on time of day. That means the CyberTruck could have gotten that 107 KWH of energy at home for about $12.
Only people lucky enough to own a house with its own land where you can park next to your own house can 'charge at home'. The other 90% of people cannot.
Yup. Charging my car at $0.11 / KWh at home, in Colorado.
100 miles cost me $3.
100 miles w my Ford Explorer cost $14 😂
Guess which own I use when just need to commute...
My brother in law tried to pull a sled with an old mail jeep, it went 6" down. The sled didn't budge.
TIRES TIRES TIRES!!!!! Put OFF ROAD tires on the CT THEN see what happens!!! you where using ALL SEASON on the truck!!! Thats like putting snow shoes on a down hill skier!!!
You can hear the Big Oil CEOs laughing. We have been brainwashed since we first rolled our hot wheel truck across the living room with a Shell Oil sticker on it. The hate is real. But just like electric cars...they got faster, longer mileage, and smarter designs. I myself am tired of fighting in wars over oil. To the hecklers out there...I say sign up your kids and grandkids for enlisted duty overseas this US Soldier has taken off his camo....
Folks in the heartland hate on anything that doesn't burn fossil fuels, but they're A-OK with big government handing out fat checks when their crops fail increasingly as our climate goes berserk. I do think that they want a stable climate, but also that they're not willing to change a thing or spend a dime to achieve it.
you'd prefer to fight wars over lithium & cobalt mines?
I like EV's, but dont act like going to EV's will eliminate resource wars, it will just change where they are.
@@mtraven23 Ohh, it will not eliminate resource wars. You are correct. But condemning new technology just for the good feeling of group mentality should stop. It really shows how Big Oil has us following them like sheep to the slaughter. Thanks for your opinion and pointing that fact out.
@@guest6423Buying a Cybertruck isn’t saving the planet or making the weather more stable. 🙄
So you’re another one who doesn’t know that all your diesel and gasoline in Lou boils are refined using cobalt catalysts, which is where the cobalt mining in Africa has started for the American petroleum
Great video, guys!
I think we need to get all the electric pickup trucks setup with the best tires and suspension setups and have some experienced sled-pullers do some pulls. I think that would be awesome!
Lets keep in mind that sled pulls aren't generally done using stock trucks, so lets give the EVs the advantage they need as well.
I like how the announcer was egging the crowd on. 🤣. Cheer me or boo me, but buy a ticket!
Don't take the boos personally guys,. It's just part of the show.👍
Every good wrestling match needs a heel...
no, it’s not part of the show. That comment that Person made is exactly what they meant and I know this because I had one of these people shout at me as he drove by when I was plugging in the companies electric vehicle.
@@SeohnAranys ...and the fans who boo'd Earnhardt really didn't like him.
I spent quite a few years covering Motorsports as an event photographer. I'm going to stick with it being an integral part of the show. Just like a football game. If the crowd isn't wound up about something then it's going to be boring.

Ok, the sled is WAY more complicated than I thought...SO COOL!!

Great entertainment. Learned a ton about sled pulling. Can't wait for the rematch with the CyberBeast! I have a Cybertruck on order... I'm guessing one year until delivery. Can't wait!!! Thanks guys!
Sled pulling is awesome! Loved that!
Better tires (!) and more weight on the rear of the CT would have exceeded 300 feet easy.
Come on TFL - get the CT proper A/T tires like you did for the Ram. The OEM tires are a compromise at best as most people prefer range over off road vs TFL which focuses on off road driving and upgrades the tires on most of your trucks. DO IT 🙏
Seeing Roman's hipster jeans, the crowd wasn't booing the cybertruck...
That was awesome guys, thanks. 😊
Cybertruck Slogan: Quietest pull ever.
I'm torn. Not an EV fan at all, but CT is at least MIUSA.
I used to sled pull. More HP in my diesel truck than Nascar. Nothing beats that rumble. The torque of an EV would do quite well.
edit: after watching - surprised it didn't pull it more. Must be a limiter built into the cybertruck.
Some other commentator said that they should lower the air pressure like you would in any off-road situation, and put more weight on the rear axle.
And then, since this is a 1/2 ton going up against the 3/4 ton truck, maybe put different tires on and use the tri motor cyber beast. I think that would be a little bit more same class. Nobody would even think about putting an F150 against that dodge ram built as it is and expecting it to win.
And then show the screens on the cyber truck to prove that it was in all those proper settings.
So much hate for two people just looking to try out something new out.
That's what country folk are becoming: fearful of anyone who's not exactly like them. If they take time to realize you're not 'a threat' to them, they're OK, but until then...
I’m originally from Milwaukee my mom was a country girl Wisconsin Madison area my ex was from Northern Wisconsin and I spent a couple years living up close to Stevens point in the late 70s common sense is not very common especially in rural America. They are easily driven by people they wanna believe and we’ve also been manipulated and then become manipulators. It’s sad to see The gift that people are being given with the electric vehicle revolution, solar panels on their barns and they would have free fuel. Instead, they get bent over and over by the oil companies in the powers that be, and don’t see that this would be a great freedom for them.
@@johnstubbe3113 Solar panels would be great if it wasn't for the fact that 100% of solar companies are a scam nightmare and not in any way beneficial to the consumer. If you go the buying route it's insanely expensive for the equipment. Prices need to come down.
A hybrid would be awesome
He put the power out lower, we wanted to see 100%power it wasn’t the same thing. That’s why the cyber truck didn’t do good. He didn’t even peddle too the metal anyways.
Great video. Cyber truck pulling over 200 feet is very impressive when it’s going up against a much more powerful truck
are you drunk?! the cummins diesel has barely 400hp, the tesla two motors has 600hp+ the tesla is the most powerful truckand really mind blowing the less powerful diesel tows 20,000lbs while the tesla barely 11,000lbs.
a 260hp bmw x5 diesel tows about 7700lbs while the 1020hp tesla modelx plaid barely tows 5000lbs. the diesel still gets way more range even while towing than the electric one.
@@alanmay7929I think there is far more to towing than engine horsepower and torque. The cybertruck wasn’t meant to compete against 2500 diesel trucks. It was meant to be an EV. It does everything very well. If you don’t like it, that’s fine. But no need to be rude
@@b22chris wow!!! rude how exactly?! wasnt the cybertruck made to get 500 miles? tow 14,000lbs..... of course it doesnt compare to 2500hd, but even a good specced ford f150 can tow up to 14,000lbs and also didnt tesla did a stunt on internet against a ford f350?! what was the point of that?!
@@b22chris its funny how EVs are very good at 0-60 but when it comes to real stuffs there is nothing to show literaly! a body on frame truck is made to have single/double cab! longer bed! allow tons and tons of customisations from dump truck to utility truck bed, ambulance and much more!

great test, you guys are awesome!!
You rock!🪨
The trucks didn't kill it, but you guys did - Great vid
considering the fixed 60/40 split between front and rear in this case. the tri motor is better because of the 2 rear motors not sharing the power for the 2 rear wheels and better of being 80/20 or option to change on the fly when less traction on front or rear to push to the wheels that have the traction apply more power to them
Great video, loved it.
He said he can come back with a tri motor, Roman should've said then I'll come back with the H.O. Cummins.
Right? 😂

Let the people buy what they want to drive dont force things on the people 🤟🤟🤟
That is why I hate the EV's, the government says you will like it or else. The ultimate goal is no personal transportation for the vast majority of people.
@@jebsdaddy141 Yup I would have no beef with EVs if they were not government subsidized.
Government rebates when you buy it, cheaper or free license plates and they don't pay anything towards road maintenance.
If you grow your own corn and turn it in to ethanol and fuel your car with it you still owe the government motor fuel tax for every gallon you use.
Same if you run a diesel on waste oil.
EVs get to use the roads yet pay nothing towards their upkeep.
When and if EVs were ready for prime time people would switch on their own.
They wouldn't have to be bribed with taxpayer money or forced into it because everything else is banned.
The government didn't have to pay people to switch from horses to Model Ts.
Imagine that when Henry Ford built his quadracycle (the car he made before the Model T) the government said "Wow that is great! Let's start killing horses and demand people drive Quadracycles."
That would have been a disaster.
I think the whole "phasing out all ICE by 2030" will be a disaster.
When and if EVs are ready, people will buy them.
For most people they just are not worth it yet.
@@jebsdaddy141 Good....Let the hate flow through you!!!
