Regardless, this is a pretty terrible example to demonstrate how a Tesla will outpull a Powerstroke F250.
I don’t care who won that mess, but the first one was funny as heck to me.

I don't travel in my electric, it adds way too much time to a road trip. For my typical truck use the lower range would not be a problem. The problem for me would be the price for the trucks. Seventy to eighty thousand to go to lowes and get a few pieces of lumber or some mulch or a trip to the landfill is out of bounds. For my trucks I am a wind down windows and rubber floor mat guy. Still pizzed you can't get a manual transmission any more.

He took offense, responded with a one finger salute and decided to show me how fast his car was. ... he got dusted by a M3 SR+... I was about 40 feet ahead before all of his twin turbo, crankshafts. torque converters, (whatever the German word is for transfer case) and driveshafts could turn.
Yeah - on a racetrack, his car would beat mine. On the street, reaction time is everything. Nothing but a Tesla can hang with a Tesla. Haven't found a Mustang or Corvette that can hang either.
A $44,000 Tesla will outmatch most anything this side of $130,000
A $114,000 Tesla will outmatch a $4,000,000.00 Bugatti Chiron
A $70,000 Tesla will out pull a F250 6.7L PowerStroke
anyone who desires performance will go electric or just be < the best.

I rather pay for the gas guzzler and have the sound.
