That's one fast shiny car!

If only we knew the length of that straight.

looks like about a mile for the whole loop:

That’s ludicrous!!!

The performance of a sports car, the utility of a pickup truck.

Hi All,

Been lurking for a while. finally signed up. Have a relatively early reservation made mid December 2019. Not that means a lot, I understand

Anyway, here's what Google Earth shows for the distance between start and what looks to me to be letoff on the run. Oddly enough its right around a 1/4 mile. Lots of estimate slop, so IMO between 13-14 seconds for that, but we do not know it it was full hammer down and if so, was that for the full 1/4.

Check out the full out acceleration from a stop at 20 second mark!

Nice. The CyberTruck needs to appear in the next iteration of Death Race and/or Mad Max. I love how different it is.

According to my very rough estimate, using this video, the arrows on the pavement, Google Earth and my calculator, this truck accelerates from a stop and gets to the 2nd arrow, which is ~561 ft (191 m) from its starting point in 7.2 seconds. This is an average of 77.9 ft/sec (23.75 m/sec) or 53 mph (85.5 kph). That seems really quick.

Does anyone know a good formula for guestimating the truck's velocity at the 2nd arrow (561 ft) mark?

I love how every CT video instantly becomes a crime scene investigation! Sooo tempted to model this out in 3d....but I need to work. lol.

Using your data I compute an acceleration of 21.6 fps2 and a speed of 106 mph at the 2nd arrow. Also 0-60 mph in 4.0 sec. [now what could be stupider than math in public?]

88 MILES PER HOUR MARTY!!!

typo sorry lets try that again, *slow* dual motor

We can't tell. Only one of the trucks so far has been labeled.

Fast

If I was managing the CT project I would focus all testing on the dual motor first and GTM with it first. There is so much new on this truck that reducing variables and working on a baseline with only one variant would be the fastest way to get to market. Tri-motor can come later, thats how I would do it.... Has anyone seen any signs of the tri-motor yet?

There are not too many people that have owned R1T or Lightning and regretted buying one. And I doubt there will be many that will regret buying a CT precisely for the reason you noted here.
