Tesla has put the Cybertruck against the Tesla Semi in what looks like a drag race, but it is more likely a photo op.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a semi-truck, the Tesla Semi has truly impressive performance. <\/p>\n

Drivers have said that it handles more like a sports car than a semi-truck \u2013 and it sure accelerates closer to a sports car.<\/p>\n

Tesla quotes a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 20 seconds, but that\u2019s while pulling a full load. Anyone who has been stuck behind a truck on a highway on-ramp should know that this is impressive.<\/p>\n

Now without a load, the 0-60 mph acceleration is believed to be closer to five seconds. <\/p>\n

Tesla is trying to make the Cybertruck also outperform conventional pickup truck. CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla set out to make it \u201cmore utilitarian than the F-150 while handling and accelerating like a sports car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now we get to see the Tesla Semi and Cybertruck go head-to-head in what appears to be some kind of staged drag race:<\/p>\n

\n

The footage emerged from social media, and some presented it as a \u201cdrag race\u201d between the Tesla Semi and Cybertruck.<\/p>\n

However, with the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X, all in white in the back, it looks like it is a staged photo op for Tesla rather than an actual demonstration.<\/p>\n

But it does look like they floored the Tesla Semi for a second, and the sound is absolutely insane. <\/p>\n

It looks like it is beating the Cybertruck, but again, I doubt that they were flooring the electric pickup truck, and we also don\u2019t know which version of the truck Tesla is using here.<\/p>\n

The top-of-the-line version of the Cybertruck is expected to have four motors and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in the ~2.5-second range.<\/p>\n

The base entry versions of the electric pickup would likely have an acceleration closer to a Tesla Semi without a load.<\/p>\n

Either way, it is pretty surreal to see those two vehicles on the road side-by-side.<\/p>\n
