It has to be a sand race because the Cybertruck gets completely disabled from moisture.

That explains why Elon suddenly came out against drag 😉
....bravo.
No shit, the Cybertruck can't offroad.
Is this podracing?
They filled the truck beds with a bunch of fish. It's actually cod racing.
Actually they filled the truck beds with grass-covered surface soil. It's actually sod racing.
The bed of each truck is filled with a family of dolphins. This is pod racing.

I do appreciate the fact that the Cybertruck was so clearly designed by someone who had no idea how to design a car, and that it's Musk's pet project. It really drives another nail in the coffin of the idea that he deserves all the credit for the work his companies do.
Then again, his most die-hard supporters draw no distinction between ownership and labor. They're also somehow able to look at a Cybertruck and think "Wow!" rather than "Wow, is this some kind of a joke?"
I used to kinda like it because it was wrong and dumb, but I'd only ever get a horribly ugly statement car if it combined terrible aesthetics with good performance and build quality.

in sand, weighing 2000 pounds more matters. so does grappler tires.
Yes, this race was already lost on paper. The execution frankly was likely just an excuse for some folks to dust off their Maga hats and crack open some beers.
Not a Tesla fan but this is a stupid article. Driving on sand is 100% driver skills and tires. You could have a McLaren and a smart car with sand tires and the smart would win all day.
Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn't a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

I mean I'm more of a car guy so trucks and off roading aren't my specialty but a vehicle built by a company that's done it for a century vs a pissboy.
Shocker...
