A Tesla Cybertruck has taken part in a tug of war against a Ford F-150 pickup truck and a Chevy Silverado 2500, and total obliteration ensued.
The Cybertruck has proven to be very fast and strong, taking on faster cars in drag races and towing some massive loads.
The video, uploaded by Tesla Owners Silicon Valley on YouTube, shows the Cybertruck take on not only the F-150, but a Chevy Silverado 2500 pickup as well.
It’s an interesting way for electric power to face off against gasoline-powered vehicles. Many people are still undecided as to which one is the best.

Tesla has already showcased just how strong the Cybertruck is, thanks to it being used to tow all sorts of payloads.
But a tug of war is a novel way to unleash the EV’s full potential.
The first segment in the video was dedicated to the truck’s tug-of-war against the Ford F-150.
The dual-motor Cybertruck took no prisoners, however, as it easily pulled the Ford pickup over the line to win the contest.
To see if it’s just a Ford issue, the truck was then pitched against a Chevrolet Silverado 2500.
The Chevy pickup truck seemed to put up a slightly better fight than the Ford.
However, the Cybertruck still didn’t find the Chevy to be much of an opponent.
Within seconds, its power pulled the Bow Tie’s truck over the line, and it was an easy victory for the EV.
The title of the video suggested that this would be a cakewalk for the electric truck.
But despite that, we were still stunned at just how easily the Tesla beat its gasoline-powered rivals.
We shouldn’t really be surprised, however, at the way in which the Cybertruck won these contests.
A Cybertruck owner posted on a Facebook group how his truck easily towed a 7,000LB trailer across the United States.
Other YouTubers and content creators have pitted the EV against other trucks in tug-of-war contests.
But the results are always the same.
The torque and power of the pickup are too much for anything from Ram, Chevrolet, and Ford to handle.
It might be controversial, but there is no denying the brute strength of the Tesla Cybertruck.
