Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

It is a truck. Not all trucks can drive in sand. It all comes down to driver skills and whatever tire is used on it. Who knows what tires the Ford is running.

Shit, I have seen two identical cars with identical tires and except one had lower tire pressure. The lower tire pressure won every time.

This is a stupid article designed for you guys to circlejerk on a brand. I mean enjoy the jerk. Elon deserves it. But don’t make it seem like it’s scientific. It’s just a circlejerk.

The driver skill is hard to control, but I would assume they had equal pressure in the tires, or at least close enough. There’s also more things that matter like tire width, lockers, horsepower, weight etc.

Even if it’s not a perfectly scientific test, it can still be interesting

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Not a very “apocalypse proof” vehicle, as Musk called it, if it can’t drive in sand…
