Tesl CEO Elon Musk tweeted a video showing an electric Cybertruck pickup truck competing with a petrol-powered Ford F-150 in a tug-of-war. There is no information on the technical characteristics of cars, but it is clear that Tesla is noticeably superior to its rival.

• The Ford F-series model has been a sales leader in the United States for over 30 years, with 909,000 new pickups sold in the country in 2018. The second and third places in the rating are occupied by the closest competitors, which are far behind in popularity: Chevrolet Silverado (586 thousand units) and RAM (537 thousand units).
• Also at the TeslCybertruck presentation, a video was shown where a pickup truck competes with a previous generation Porsche 911 in a straight race. The electric car also won, albeit not with the same advantage as in the first test.

• The most powerful TeslCybertruck is equipped with three electric motors (one on the front axle and two on the rear). It accelerates to 60 mph (96.5 km / h) in less than 2.9 seconds. The maximum speed reaches 209 km / h, the mass of the towed trailer is 6.4 tons, the mileage without recharging is more than 800 kilometers. This pickup makes a standard drag quarter-mile (402 meters) in 10.8 seconds.
• Serial production of TeslCybertruck with one and two electric motors is scheduled for the end of 2021. The three-engine version will have to wait another year. Three days after the premiere, more than 200,000 pre-orders for the model have already been accepted.
