Drag race between Tesla Cybertruck and Porsche 911
A video of a drag race between the Cybertruck and the Porsche 911 was released at the Cybertruck presentation held the other day after Tesla's Cybertruck deliveries began.

In the video, they ``drag raced a Cybertruck and a 911,'' but the ``distance'' of the race was not announced in the video.
However, in the United States, drag racing usually refers to 1/4 mile (approximately 402 m), so when you hear someone say ``drag racing,'' everyone says they did a 1/4 mile race. I think he understood that. It's a tacit understanding.
The results of the drag race shown in the video show that the Cybertruck that was towing the 911 actually finished faster than the 911 that was running alone. It was faster than its racing opponent...yes, faster than that Porsche 911!!''
But that's okay.
thisPeople who watched the race videoHowever, the location where this race was held was identified as the now-closed Sacramento Raceway.
Then, compare the video with the Sacramento Raceway to see where on the course the Cybertruck and Porsche were running.
As a result, it was revealed that the goal of this race was not 1/4 mile from the start, but 1/8 mile. 1/8 mile is approximately 201 meters.
By the way, the reason I found out the distance was because of the thick line drawn on the course at the goal point.
If the goal is 1/4 mile, there will be a thick line on the course to indicate the 1/4 mile point, and time boards will be placed on either side of the line.
However, there was no time board at the place where the thick line was drawn, which was the goal point this time, and even from that distance, the thick line on the course indicated the 1/8 mile point.
If I had driven a little more after the 1/8 mile mark, I think I would have been on par with the Cybertruck at the 1/4 mile mark...hmm, the result might have been a little different. ?
...But, as I wrote last time, when I see something like this, I don't think, "Tesla or Elon are liars!" On the contrary, I find Tesla's marketing interesting and enjoy watching it. ^
Really, every time a story like this comes up, I feel like ``I want Elon already~'' (lol).
In fact, Mr. Elon said at this presentation that ``Cybertruck can run a quarter mile faster than a 911 while towing a Porsche,'' but maybe that is actually true. I don't know.
The 1/4 mile distance is also displayed at the end of the video.
However, while saying/writing that, the video I showed here was of a 1/8 mile race.
I think the Cybertruck would be amazingly fast and powerful if it was just driving in a straight line for 200 to 400 meters, so I think that's actually amazing.
When I compared the Cybertruck and 911, I felt like I was just trying to compete with Porsche, and that alone was enough to make me feel like Elon, so I thoroughly enjoyed it ^^
I want to see the actual Cybertruck soon!

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
