Comments by "Golden Croc" (@GoldenCroc) on "Tesla Cybertruck v Hummer EV: DRAG RACE" video.

  1. No, not really. Difference is very small, well within the margin of error, and the braking distances at 70mph is mostly dictated by tire friction. Most modern cars (as they are known in the UK), have relatively similar braking distances despite weight differences. This was quite within expectation and what is normal.

  2.  @LaG_Piano  Not true, thats not how tire friction physics work. Lighter is better.

  3.  @AndrewTSq  No, only the Hummer would be "illegal".

  4.  @ytr5153  Its more than enough for it. In fact, its within the margin of error even with exactly the same tires.

  5.  @kermitthefragg  Many people reading the OP comment are likely to be from the US, where they would call these "trucks". Hence the clarification.

  6.  @AndrewTSq  You misread, its 3080kg "empty" according to figures in this video. According to motortrend its 3100kg for the top spec 3 motor one, and less for the lower versions. As far as I know, we dont yet know the max persmissible load for a "Swedish version". But I agree it might well be higher than 3500kg all in all. There has been a history of derating vehicles to get under wieght limits though (caravans and mobile homes being a notable example). It reamains to be seen if it will even be sold here.

  7.  @GraveUypo  I have made multiple posts, so I am not sure which one/on what I wrote the "cars of this weight" is adressing, perhaps you can clarify? Brakes smoking isnt anything to be alarmed about under these circumstances, lots of cars would do the same. They made repeated braking from top speed, which isnt applicable enough to real world road driving to cause alarm.

  8.  @mattblock6616  Par for the course, really. People in general arent very knowledgable.

  9.  @avt1006  I am not sure he is, I have seen a few of his tech videos and they seem about the same. I might be wrong though. Regarding the braking it could well be he just isnt knowledgable (as most people arent) about the details of car braking generally turns out.

  10.  @sik59rt  What physics, exactly? I believe the root of your comment is that you might be mistaken and have a too rudimentary understanding on how vehicles and the dynamics of them work, if you say so. I have taught physics and have over 3 decades of experience with vehicle dynamics, so I am reasonably confident in the statements I have made so far. By all means, if there is something you cant see how it works regarding my comments and this video, just ask and I will try to supply as concise an explanation as I can. Cheers.

  11.  @snakeeyes9246  Thats a pretty stretched definition of "dangerously" I would say. They are perfectly on par with anything else for legal speeds in almost every country there is, and they are pretty ok for a single stop from the max speed of the vehicle. I dont see how one can possibly call that "dangerous" by any objective manner in comparison to other cars.

  12.  @neaorin  Yes? What of it? Read my other posts above and get back to me if something still is unclear.

  13.  @cody7068  I doubt there will be a big percentage of countries where the cybertruck cant be certified, unless you are thinking of licence demands for the drivers. But what does this have to do with the subject at hand, which was braking performance?

  14.  @ytr5153  Weight doesnt make as big a difference during braking between vehicles as many people think. Same is likely here.
