Default Tesla truck faster than 911!

Did you guys see the Tesla truck reveal yesterday? They showed it out-dragging a 911! It’s really annoying why do they have to bring a 911 into their truck launch!

Because they were embarrassed by their car being towed off the ring as the record setting Taycan drove by.

Even if really is quicker than a base 911 on a 0-60 run, wait for the first turn: Game Over.

I’ve driven a Model 3 Performance on a very long solo drive and I thought the speed was completely uninvolving. Fast for no reason!

From the "Is Tesla in Trouble?" thread in P&C from someone who knows glass:

Easier / simpler to for me to believe this was a stunt than to believe an engineer/ builder screwed up this badly

The Model S (properly equipped) is faster to 60 than a Hellcat. Electric vehicles can be incredibly quick, we get that. Tesla has QC issues, they can focus their efforts on that.

Using a truck to out-accelerate a legendary sports car is their way of trying to get viral attention (like all the videos of the aforementioned Hellcats getting dragged). That said, most truck owners aren't interested in winning stoplight battles. Out-tow, out-haul, and outlast an existing half-ton rig, and then they'll have my attention.
