For the duration of the Cybertruck’s unveiling, Tesla showcased a online video of its pickup truck engaging in a tug-of-war battle versus a Ford F-150. The all-electrical truck did not crack any sweat in the course of the demonstration, very easily pulling a screaming Ford powering it. The picture it offered was noteworthy, nevertheless the online video by itself appeared to have some troubles. 
For 1, the F-150 employed in the online video appeared to be a 2WD XLT variant, which is geared up with both a decrease-conclude V8 or Ford’s smaller sized two.7L Ecoboost. This introduced a whole lot of Tesla skeptics ahead, quite a few of whom argued that the examination was unfavorable for the F-150 from the start off.
Frivolously responding to these details, Sundeep Madra, the VP for Ford X, the automaker’s enterprise incubator, requested Elon Musk if the CEO could mail more than a Cybertuck their way so that they can do an 𠇊pples to apples” examination.

A rematch involving a major-tier Ford F-150 and the Tesla Cybertruck will absolutely an enjoyable struggle. If Ford does deliver out its very best F-150, the car will be geared up with a major-of-the-line three.5L Ecoboost motor that will supply a substantially more substantial problem to the Cybertruck in comparison to the seemingly XLT trim that it pulled in the demo.
