If we cherry-pick the quickest Cybertruck run and the slowest 911 run—the best possible scenario for Tesla—the Beast still crosses the finish line 0.229 second behind the Porsche.
That is much closer than I even expected. Electric motors are beasts!
I’ve always been fascinated by electro motors. I always had remote controlled cars, and always looked at the guys with their little loud ass nitrous cars or whatever they used to fuel the cars. My cars gor faster and faster, even the little motors and speed controllers 20+ years ago were pretty nuts. Then i got to know a guy with a gas powered rc car and was so excited to start and use it. And it was kinda… Shit. To start it was a pain in the ass it was super loud, and the torque was almost non existent compared to a electro motor.
The thing to take away from it, electric motors are super cool, but building a electric car that goes from 0-100 in 2.6 seconds or so, is not super impressive.

And no, I am not an elon fanboy.
I hate the cybertruck as much as the next guy, but consider its weight difference, that’s still damn impressive.
(Porche 911: 1580Kg - 1780Kg/Cybertruck: >3000Kg)
