CycberTruck Beats a Porsche 911
So the top of the line Tesla truck costing over $100k can beat an old base model Porsche while towing up to 2300 lbs (my guess is it’s probably just a shell at +-500lbs) under Elons supervision in a 1/4 mile. How many runs did it take to get this shot? Absolutely more than one.
Total fake. Let’s see it in real life booby, with a new 911 turbo that’s sub 2.2 seconds 0-60mph (road and track said 1.9 seconds), not an old used base model against a race prepped truck and not using launch, in fact not even reving the motor for a fast start, you can barely hear it, but you hear the truck tires chirp. Also, given another 200 ft, even that Porsche would have won, of course EVs have better off the line acceleration, a leaf beats a Porsche in a 1/8 mile. Nice try Elon.
Elon is still butt hurt because Porsche beat him at Nürburgring last year, taking the lap record from a special plaid using a standard Taycan (which is cheaper too), so he’s trying to save face with this fake comparison.
He’s promised big before and fell flat on his face, remember bullet proof windows?
Notice the specs he lists are his claims for an unloaded high end special >$100k model, not the base model and absolutely not the race we saw.
Don’t you hate being lied to? I do.

IT Crowd - Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?
A real opportunity for tattoos there, turn one nipple into a power button, and the other says turbo. And maybe hard reset around your bum hole if you're feeling adventurous.
If I'm ever on life support, unplug me....then plug me back in and see if that helps.

Porsche shatters Nurburgring record
As far as I know you are pretty much spot on. The 919 was run in the LMP1 class with 8 megajoules of hybrid power and a turbo 4 cylinder petrol engine.
This evolution of the 919 has increased the power of both systems, by removing the fuel flow restrictions and increasing the output of the electric motors. The boost graphic is probably showing the deployment of the stored power from the lithium batteries, but it wasn't 100% clear to me (usually they will indicate when it is charging or discharging, and this didn't).
I didn't find a really good reference, but there is a bit on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_919_Hybrid
So my limited understanding is that it's a hybrid car (twin turbo 4 cyl and electric motor), and in braking, electrical energy is generated to use as boost coming out of the corner. It helps with power as there may be some turbo lag from the 4 cyl. I however could be completely wrong. Maybe @oritteropo knows for sure.

Can anyone explain the Boost bar there to me? That didn't look like turbo boost, as it was almost never up, but seemed to fire coming out of a corner.
