Power-pulling events attract a specific type of crowd hungry for the roar of high-boost coal-rolling diesel engines. That’s why it’s not surprising that taking a Tesla Cybertruck or any other EV pickup to one of these venues won’t please the fans, especially if its performance isn’t significantly better than that of a diesel truck.
The Fast Lane Truck took a dual-motor Cybertruck to a power pull event and pitted it against a diesel-powered heavy-duty Ram 2500 to see which recorded the longest run. The two-motor version of the Cybertruck has 593 horsepower and 525 pound-feet of torque, and it weighs just under 7,000 pounds, including the driver. The diesel Ram is powered by a 6.4-liter turbodiesel V8 engine with 370 horsepower and 850 lb-ft, and it’s considerably heavier at just over 8,800 pounds.
