Some more food for thought
The tug o war between Tesla and Ford 150 was not fair I admit.
Not only Tesla weights more it also has way MORE power aka Torque.
How much is unknown, however Ive seen EvWest vids with their race car BMW
Which uses Tesla drivetrain and baterys and it puts 4000 lbs of torque to the wheels,yes 4 THOUSAND
Id think Tesla truck has at least that maybe more,so even with bigest 4x4 and diesel Ford or anyone else has no chance to outpull Tesla
Will see

Torque is multiplied through a conventional drivetrain - so where you might have two electric motors each supplying 4,000lbs of torque directly to the wheels (for 8,000lbs total), quick calculations show that a HO Ram peaks at a little over twice that (17,317lbs with 3.73s) in first gear. Of course, as you shift through gears that amount is reduced, and IC engines do not always produce peak torque - but in a test like we're talking here, a modern diesel would easily beat your example Tesla given equal traction.
