Drag race: Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R v Lamborghini Urus

Drag racing has been popular for a long time, but lately there are more and more powerful new production cars competing. One such “fight” was organized by the guys from the YouTube channel Carwow, putting the Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Raptor R and Lamborghini Urus on the line.

Although the Tesla Cybertruck looks weird at first glance, it is a really powerful car. It is offered in three versions of the powertrain, and the most powerful has three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 686 lb-ft (930 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The Lamborghini Urus is a powerful sports SUV powered by a 4.0L biturbo V8 engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. With all-wheel drive it reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph).

The Ford F-150 Raptor R is a powerful pickup powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V-8 engine with 700 hp (522 kW) and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm) of torque. It reaches 60 mph in about 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h). Power is sent to all wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Cybertruck vs Urus

At the standard 1/4 mile, on the newly constructed road next to Tesla’s GigaFactory, the Lamborghini Urus stood no chance against the Cybertruck. In every race, the Tesla car was too fast for the Urus, even though the drivers switched cars. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds, while the Lamborghini took 12.3 seconds.

From 30 mph, over the same distance, the Tesla was again unbeatable. As well as from 40 mph, even when the Urus started one second before the Cybertruck. Braking was the advantage of the Urus. From 70 mph the Urus managed to stop in a shorter distance than the Cybertruck which needed a few more meters even though it was using mud tires.

Cyberturk vs Ford F-150 Raptor R

At the standard 1/4 mile, the Cybertruck showed its power and left the F-150 Raptor R far behind. The Raptor R was in line with the Tesla in the first ten meters, but after that it had no chance. The Tesla Cybertruck covered the 1/4 mile in 11.2 seconds while the F-150 Raptor R took 12.4 seconds. From 20 mph, the Tesla was far faster than the Raptor R. From 70 mph, the Tesla managed to stop in a shorter distance than the F-150 Raptor R, which needed 20 meters more.

Tesla Cybertruck has shown that it is a very good car, but also why over 2 million units have been ordered so far.

Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck

On November 30, Tesla officially started delivering the Cybertruck. It is a long-awaited car whose story began in 2019, and in July of this year, the media announced that the company had informed suppliers that the delivery of the vehicle would start by the end of the year.

The Cybertruck will be offered in three powertrain versions. The most powerful is the Cyberbeast, which will be powered by three electric motors with a total power of 845 hp (630 kW) and 10,296 lb-ft (13,960 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph).

The entry-level version will be powered by a single engine and will have rear-wheel drive. It will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in about 9.6 seconds, and will have a range of 402 kilometers. This model will hit the market in 2025 and will cost $60,990.

The third version will have all-wheel drive, 600 hp (447 kW) and 13,667 lb-ft (10,080 Nm) of torque. It will reach 60 mph (100 km/h) in 4.1 seconds with a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph). The Cybertruck can tow 11,000 lbs (just under five tons) and have a payload capacity of about 1,134 kg of cargo, and will have a range of 340 miles (547 kilometers).

Tesla is one of the few companies in the world that has its own production of all components for its vehicles. In the financial report for the third quarter of 2023, it was announced that the annual production capacity is 125,000 units of Cybertruck per year. The company could use a significant portion of the plant’s production capacity, and time will tell if the production volume will increase.

Tesla Cybertruck deliveries begin on November 30

It’s been four years since Tesla’s Cybertruck story began, and recently the first produced example of this vehicle was sold at auction. The company has so far received over 2 million reservations, and now it is officially known when the first copies will reach their owners.

In July, American media reported that they heard a little earlier that Tesla had already informed suppliers to be ready for the start of production of the Cybertruck at the end of August, while delivery would begin by the end of the year. That will be November 30.

The company could use a significant portion of the plant’s production capacity, and time will tell if the production volume will increase. Of course, we have to wait for the prices and specifications of the Tesla Cybertruck as these details are not yet available.

Also, a photo of three Cybertrucks loaded onto a Tesla Semi electric truck was published, so it can be guessed that deliveries will be made with these trucks.

Cybertruck will be powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h). It has a range of up to 500 miles.
