I am really not sure what is the point of this. My gas pressure washer, snow blower, they don’t immediately spin to max torque. My hair dryer does. So, EV will always have abundant torque immediately available.
What is really ridiculous is that people fall on this marketing of 0-60mph in a vehicle whose focus should be toughness, towing, work purpose etc. Maybe I missed somewhere, but I can’t remember GM, Ford etc. ever advertising 0-60 even when their trucks were really fast compared to majority of vehicles as they do have pretty quick acceleration empty due to power, gearing. Focus was always on utility.
Which tells a lot what cybertruck is and what is not. This 0-60 is aimed at two kind of folks: 1. Total car agnostics, 2. People whose skill goes as far as holding steering wheel straight and compensate other deficiencies by being faster than some WRX with 18yrs old behind the wheel (who will obliterate any Tesla in the first curve).
That is only selling point this truck has: 0-60. Some of Musk’s sycophants compared recently towing capability to RAM, and after in one sentence mentioning how towing decreases already pathetic range, he only talked how fast cybertruck is towing uphill. Because, people who tow always want to be fastest uphill with something that can get vehicle out of control and kill them.
