Readit NewsSo in terms of comparisons I don't think you're wrong, but it might be better to compare it to the F-150 Lightning for more of an apples to apples comparison. The F-150 Lightning Platinum vs Cybetruck AWD is probably the most fair comparison in terms of specs, but the CT is ~$20,000 cheaper

The Case for a Ukrainian Nuclear Deterrent
Most Western observers want Ukraine to rid itself of nuclear weapons as quickly as possible. In this view, articulated recently by President Bill Clinton, Europe would be more stable if Russia were to become "the only nuclear-armed successor state to the Soviet Union." The United States and its European allies have been pressing Ukraine to transfer all of the nuclear weapons on its territory to the Russians, who naturally think this is an excellent idea.
President Clinton is wrong. The conventional wisdom about Ukraine's nuclear weapons is wrong. In fact, as soon as it declared independence, Ukraine should have been quietly encouraged to fashion its own nuclear deterrent. Even now, pressing Ukraine to become a nonnuclear state is a mistake.
A nuclear Ukraine makes sense for two reasons. First, it is imperative to maintain peace between Russia and Ukraine. That means ensuring that the Russians, who have a history of bad relations with Ukraine, do not move to reconquer it. Ukraine cannot defend itself against a nuclear-armed Russia with conventional weapons, and no state, including the United States, is going to extend to it a meaningful security guarantee. Ukrainian nuclear weapons are the only reliable deterrent to Russian aggression. If the U.S. aim is to enhance stability in Europe, the case against a nuclear-armed Ukraine is unpersuasive.But, he does give Putin a pass on the invasion itself. Couldn't Putin have won the desired concessions with just sabre-rattling and having a skirmish on the border instead of a full on invasion, which is slowly destroying both Ukraine and Russia.

Amusingly, the explanation is quite convincing and very similar to how Zeno explains in one of his paradoxes that a fast runner can never overtake a slower runner with a headstart. Because every time the fast runner gets to the point where he saw the slow runner, the slow runner is already a bit further along the track.
To determine the winner, we need to calculate the time it takes for each car to complete the 100-mile race.
For Car A: Speed = 10 miles per hour Distance = 100 miles Time = Distance / Speed = 100 miles / 10 miles per hour = 10 hours
For Car B: Speed = 5 miles per hour Distance = 100 miles Time = Distance / Speed = 100 miles / 5 miles per hour = 20 hours
However, Car B has a 10-hour headstart, so we need to subtract that from its total time: Adjusted Time for Car B = 20 hours - 10 hours = 10 hours
Both cars take 10 hours to complete the race, so they tie.
