Elon Musk tweets Cybertruck defeating Ford F-150 in tug-of-war, Ford wants rematch

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk took on Twitter to furiously post about the new Tesla Cybertruck since it was unveiled on November 21. The company took a swipe at its opponent Ford F-150 which is the best-selling truck in the United States. Cybertruck was put against the F-150 for a game of tug-of-war and Ford lost. However, since the video shows Tesla's truck easily pulling the Ford truck, the Ford X founder, Sunny Madra has asked for a rematch. Musk has agreed to the challenge and said, 'Bring it on'. The video posted by Musk has crossed more than 12 million views and people have started a conversation about the competition being fair.

Strength test failure 

In his 25-minutes presentation, Musk talked about the importance of entering the pickup segment and said, “We need something different. We need sustainable energy now”. But in an embarrassment to Musk, the strength test of ‘Tesla Armour Glass’ failed after designer Franz von Holzhausen threw a metal ball to show it was 'shatterproof'. One can order a Cybertruck by paying $100 which is fully refundable. Customers will be able to complete the configuration as production nears in late 2021 and in case of cancellation of pre-order before delivery pre-order payment will be fully refunded. “Until your final configuration is matched to a vehicle, you may make changes to your Vehicle Configuration,” said the company.
