What a technical funded statement. Who told you? Your dieseltruckdealer? ROFL

Does a huge following all of a sudden mean, that he has to be right in this case? Math and physics are not resolved by voting. Especially not by the voting of highly unqualified people. And yes: he always can use some more views. I didnt even know him before. Guess why: because I already know...

A youtuber is trying to produce content, that generates clicks. So did EE. Anti-tesla and anti-cybertruck content is one of the best ways to do this. Unfortunately EEs whole arguement is based on the wrong assumtion, that the 911 in the video would have done the 1/4 mile in 12.2sec. Yes: 911...

No, it absolutely does not matter where the weight is in a pickuptruck, if you have allwheeldrive, locked axels, locked middlediff and you just want to win a tug of war. The reason, why you put weight in the back of your truck when plowing snow is the simple fact, that you lose the weight on...

Yea. Middlescoolmath. And yes: a youtuber is the epitome of marketing. Their business is 100% marketing.

I see 0-130mph 14sec in the databox under your article. Should be slower than 130mph in 12.2 sec. Dont you think?

Yea, that is my question. Just read what i wrote. I said two times, that the 60HP tractor will win, if it is heavier. If you have your lockers with you (you have a middle-diff-locker, dont you?) it doesnt matter where the weight is. And yes: you can put 2000lbs in the bed an still be loosing, if...

How would you know, if the guy is good? As far as I see, you dont know physics at all. The 911 in the tesla video (911 carrera i guess) would not even reach 120mph over the 1/4 mile. So how could the 130mph top-speed of the CT affect the result?

As I said: the engineering explained guy lacks some basic skills and - more important - basic logic. No one measured the 12.2 sec of the 911 on this track. His whole calculation is based on a wrong assumption.

You seem a bit upset. And why do you want to put 2000lbs on your bed, if my argument (that only weight matters) is wrong? No confidence in your 1600Nm?LOL Again: I am very sorry for you, that you dont understand physics.

This video is not a full debunk, it is just showing an unqualified guy messing up with middlescoolmath. Tesla explicitly said it was a race between a CT and a brand new 911 from the factory. No one tested, if this 911 on its factorywheels could do the 1/4 mile (or would have done the 1/4mile in...

I am deeply sorry for you, that you dont understand physics. 1630Nm of torque on the wheels would lead to a pulling-force of about 4000N (900lbf) on the F350. Not that much. Thats why you have a transmission. The 60hp tractor has a way bigger transmission. The lower the speed, the higher the...

Why was it a gimmick? Same sled, same location, same weather. Seems like a propper competition to me. Range is not the topic. Why do you bring ist up?

Wasn´t the sled pull competition a pulling contest? The results of any tug of war are quite predictable, if the both opponents have the same coefficient of friction, differential lockers and enough power for spinning wheels of the line: the heavier one wins. BTW: the torque of an ICE vehicle is...

The 24s look good on it, but especially the wrap and the matching calipers look excellent. Just the right mixture of different shine at different angles and staying flat enough to even out the surfaces. Are all the other parts still original-black, or did you wrap them too?

Is the blue one your CT? I have to say: by far the best looking CT I have seen so far...

I guess it will be an airbag. The hood lifts 10cm up and an all-around-airbag, covering the edges of the hood, the fenders, the "grill" and parts of the windscreen, extends automatically, when a pedestrian hits the front of the car. Cool enough? If not yet, type "new Volvo V40 pedestrian airbag"...

You are right. "The lower the hood the worse" is a way to simplified term and only true when the leading edge moves from low (sedan) to very low (lambo like). Pushing the pedastrian down (very high leading edge) is either worse. But I do not agree with your spring-theory. A just elastic bedded...

True words. And let's not forget the broad mass on each side of the big pond which is proud of their prejudices: US-cars are tanklike pollutionmachines and EU-cars are overpriced, underengined microcars. Even Musk adresses this state of mind when he points out the bulletproofness of the CT and...

That's what common sense would tell you. But I don´t think these regulations are actually about pedestrians. The EU has a long history of complicating things by standards and laws to keep foreign competitors out of the domestic market. The members of those standards committees recruit mainly...
