The Cybertruck, Tesla's three-ton, stainless-steel plated electric truck, is built for some serious off-roading, and now we've gotten a first glimpse of what that may be like.
Earlier this week, Tesla shared a video showing a Cybertruck (the video itself appears to be shot from another Cybertruck) traversing some rough terrain in Baja California, Mexico.
The Baja 1000 rally is a famous off-road race in Baja California, known for its ultra-tough, 1000-mile track filled with booby traps (yes, those are a thing), and Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously hinted that the company plans to test the Cybertruck at this race.
The seven-minute video of Cybetruck's off-road adventure doesn't show anything particularly dangerous, but it does give us a decent idea of how Cybertruck handles tight turns and sandy traps. The next Baja 1000 race is scheduled for November 12, but it's unclear whether Tesla plans to actually participate in the race.
The person filming the video says that the two Cybetrucks used are "two release candidates" that are "straight out of the factory, except for some special race seats."
As for the video, Starlink was used for streaming, and Tesla's platform of choice was (of course) Elon Musk's X, so the video isn't of the best quality, but it's watchable most of the time.
After numerous delays, the Cybertruck itself was scheduled to start being delivered to customers in the third quarter of 2023, but that has come and gone, so it should (hopefully) happen before the end of the year.

Awful 1980s design lol sack the product designers!
ReplyDeleteunfortunately they are bringing it back
Deleteit’s like back to the future of back to the past…
Deleteactually it is great. swimming against the current trends and bringing tech overload. This thing is different and it is super able and powerful machine. There is market for that.
Deletething is people will buy it
Deleteas they should
Deletenobody should buy that hideous monstrosity.
Deletebeutifull piece of machinery. so brave.
Deletethis is satire, right? Please let it be satire.
Deleteactually the more I see of it the more I appriciate the route they took.
DeleteI just love how certain groups just hate whatever the elon guy does.
No1 wants to be seen in something that was designed by a 3 year old on a bad day... Its hideous, its pointless as a 'truck' and its full of sht that detracts from driving and that no1 asked for.
ReplyDeleteNo one except the 2 million people who have already preordered it, I guess… 🤣
DeleteAnd I am pretty sure that once these become a more regular sight on the roads, the orders are going to go (even more) through the roof…
well, considering that reservation cost is only $100 is why there are so many. most will drop out once they see the retail price.
DeleteThat doesn't mean anything. Do you think that, when the car falls apart during the making of the video they would show it to you?
ReplyDeleteI'll wait until it renders properly before considering buying it. I don't want a low poly truck
ReplyDeletestill looks utterly stupid.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the love child of an Aztec and a Kleenex box.
ReplyDeleteI am liking the anti radar stealth mode.
ReplyDeleteWhen i saw the car for the first time i thougt it was a one off movie prop that was made for the new "back to the future" film.
ReplyDeleteThat’s the ugliest truck I ever saw
ReplyDeleteThere are less things to crash into on the dunes and beach. Less lawsuits are is always good for the Musk Ox.
ReplyDeleteEntire article about a video... and no video. Waste of time clickbait garbage.
ReplyDeleteThe fanbois will lap it up!
ReplyDeleteAnd you can’t get third party FIRE and theft insurance cover.
ReplyDeleteTotally Beachin! 😂🤣😂🤣
ReplyDeleteA Subaru is capable off road, a truck needs to haul things

ReplyDeletehiring of designers can never be cheaper. no need professional. get a few 5 or 6 years old when they are free or willing assigns some design tasks for them for future models
