Two buddies go to a truck pull to see if electric beats diesel. The diesel pulled 251 feet and the dual-motor cybertruck didn’t do too bad at 207 feet. The cybertruck definitely didn’t with as a crowd favorite though.

That’s not too bad considering the cybertruck is one of the first commercial electric vehicles and things are likely to get better.

People should pay attention though; because electric motors can potentially put out more torque than an internal combusion engine could ever hope to generate. That’s probably why the diesel engines in a locomotive don’t turn the wheels – they turn a generator that feeds the electric motors that turn the wheels. It makes me wonder if you could Frankenstein locomotive electric motors to a vehicle and see what is possible.
