Tesla’s new product Cybertruck was unveiled on November 22 and it has been the talk of the internet since then. In a video posted by the company’s CEO Elon Musk, Cybertruck won a tug-of-war against the Ford F-150, which is reportedly the best-selling truck in the United States currently.Cybertruck pulled the F-150 uphill and visibly without much effort. Following Musk’s tweet, Sundeep Madra, the vice president of Ford X, asked Musk to send them a Cybertruck for an “apples to apples” test. Musk has accepted the offer.hey @elonmusk send us a cybertruck and we will do the apples to apples test for you 😉😉😉https://t.co/H3v6dCZeV5— sunny madra (@sundeep) November 25, 2019

Some scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson have raised questions on the fairness of the tug-of-war.A badass @Tesla looking like it’s doing a badass thing. But if the @Ford F-150 is RWD **with no payload** then weight on the Rear Axle is greatly reduced, offering only mild traction for the Tesla to overcome. This contest is more about the Physics of Friction than Engine Power.— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) November 25, 2019
