A new Carwow video shows the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup putting the Ford F-150 Raptor R to shame in a unique set of circumstances.

The Tesla has more power in this battle, with a total output of 845 horsepower and 685 pound-feet (930 Newton-meters) of torque. It's also heavier than the Raptor R, tipping the scales at 6,799 pounds (3,084 kilograms) and giving the Blue Oval's off-road pickup truck the illusion of a chance.

The F-150 Raptor R packs a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine under the hood that produces 700 horsepower and 640 lb-ft (868 Nm) of torque. It weighs 5,959 lbs (2,703 kg), but that doesn't make up for its power deficit.

The Tesla crushes the Ford in all three drag races. The Cybertruck completes the quarter-mile battle in 11.2 seconds, while the Raptor R takes 12.4 seconds. The Tesla also wins the rolling race and the brake test, but an unconventional 328-foot (100-meter) dash at the end puts the two on a more even playing field.

The quick race had the Cybertruck compete on dirt and the Raptor on pavement. The Cybertruck succeeded in the first race, but lost the second. It won the third round, completing the sprint in 5.1 seconds. the Raptor finished in 5.4 seconds on the roadway.
