We don’t yet have production Tesla Cybertrucks to compare to conventional pickup trucks, but the Zunigas playfully captured an entertaining break from work, a tug-of-war between a “big boy truck” and a “mom’s car.” That would be a Ford F-150 Raptor and a Tesla Model X.
For just a bit of late-night fun, highlighting once again the inherent advantages of electric cars and how much Tesla maximizes those, here’s a video of a large Tesla Model X SUV smoking a Lamborghini Aventador on the track:
