First Track Day in Tesla Cybertruck After Towing Plaid Race Car 'Dark Helmet'

We are determined to showcase the versatility and capability of the Tesla Cybertruck. Equipped with UP INVINCIBLE Carbon Fiber Fender Flares and 22" UP CYBRHEX Forged Wheels wrapped in 35x12.50 BFG KO2 All-Terrain tires, we loaded the Cybertruck up with 9,000 lbs (~5,000lbs of Plaid + ~4,000lbs of trailer) and towed it 140 miles north over the infamous Grapevine to Buttonwillow Raceway Park for TeslaCorsa.
Along the way, we stopped at the Santa Clarita Superchargers for a Tesla meet, hosted by Tesla Owners Club of Santa Clarita Valley, where 7 Cybertrucks were present (the largest gathering of privately-owned CTs to date.) After capturing some obligatory golden-hour drone footage, we made it to BRP.
Track day: As expected, we put Dark Helmet on the track for testing and tuning of some new settings. Quickly pleased with the results, we moved on to the unexpected: track laps in the UP INVINCIBLE Cybertruck.
Our development driver, Craig Coker (@fromwhereicharge), took the Cybertruck out for 3 TeslaCorsa sessions resulting in a final time of 2:15, respectable for a near-7000lb pick up truck on slippery All-Terrain tires. Craig netted the best results setting the Cybertruck in BAJA mode which, although set the suspension to HIGH, allowed for the largest reduction in Stability Assist and also allows for precise control of the Handling Balance. This was a day of testing, learning and having some fun. Goals accomplished!
Naturally, Craig ended the day with some CT donuts around Dark Helmet!!!

This was fun ripping the CyberTruck around for the first time. More adventures to come!

[@444thunderstr0ke]

Seeing the Cybertruck drifting at the beginning was crazy 🤯🤯🤭🤭

[@vishalb84]

[@chriscrosby3582]

It was so cool seeing the CT and Dark Helmet in Santa Clarita! 😊

[@planetnicky11]

Yeah Craig!! So stoked for ya!

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Second mouse gets the cheese . More appropriate

[@chargepozitive]

Awesome! great to see it on the way up there in santa clarita!

[@johnnyvimagery1178]

FULL SEND 👊🏾💥🤙🏾

[@SofiaanF]

Great to see you Craig and Cybertruck out on track in the session with Tesla Corsa!

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

YEA! Run What Ya Brung!!! Great Driving Craig!

[@johntyson1958]

awesome overview 😱

[@ryanpetree6475]

A giant wing on the back similar to that model S of the CT lowered way down with some road racing tires on it would look sick IMHO, but it would also create a very functional pathway for air when towing a brick and provide downforce for more stabilization for the trailer! win win!

[@vector006]

I don't get why they didn't put street tires on it

[@doriadan76]

N°1.... 👏👏👏👏🙇‍♂️

[@daveanderson244]

That trailer must have some serious downforce :) Great video!

[@mullholand]

I love it! Pisses off ICE car AND pickup drivers at the same time!

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

And will never be used by anyone who lifts more than 8lbs at work and is called a truck.

[@MrFoxRobert]

👋👍

[@lrod8692]

Is this the one that broke?

[@bob15479]

[@trevorcronin9249]

You seem to have trouble driving in your lane, driving on the double lines a lot,,

[@paratrooperz1]

i wish their products weren't so expensive i window shop for their products then get them elsewhere like half price and some cases better quality like my active programmable big wing i got for 850 or my 7 layer fiberglass wide body i got for 1/8th the cost of unplugged as they want like 50k for their kit i like unpluged because they set the standard of new desirable products first but not to long of a wait to get something the same quality for cheaper

[@tazeat]

Fuck the Cyber Truck, Dark Helmet is sweet.

[@paulgutierrez4505]

Please buy another CT and build a slammed race truck!!!

[@DominickMarino]

Wait where is the truck action?

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Th at costs extra and will be released in a download that doubles the load capacity of the boot(trunk) and increases the battery life to 9 million years.

[@iowa_don]

TEN Thumbs Up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bob15479]

why not just pull the wheel speed sensors and race it slammed?

[@DennisCW]

😮😮😮😮

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Needs a carbon fiber body

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Here is my Aussie take. My first car was a datsun 200b. $1600. A house in my rural town cost 100k. Now for 100k I can a get truck, with the same towing and load capacity as my datsun, with the same towing range as my datsun with 4 litres of petrol, that I have to hand buff daily becuase I live 6 minutes from an ocean so it doesn't rust all for the cost of a house? Awesome, also can you ensure the clearance is too low for most Ozzie roads to the beach , excluding those at a city. Could you also make it look like it's made from cardboard by a 3 year that was hit in the head with 5lb sledge hammer? And finally can you make sure that there are only 1000 places to charge it, and put those places only in the most expensive suburbs on th3 country. Can it also have 2 blind spots up front, because Australia has no motor bikes, push bikes, pedestrians, nor wildlife.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Can you also make it so if I hit a person half goes under the truck and half over the roof?

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Can you design the boot (trunk) so only one of kids bikes can fit at a time. Becuase that's good parenting only letting one kid have fun out of 2 or 3.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

An awesome safety feature would be if the power dies, the only way the wheels can turn is if you use your breaks, becuase you can never accelerate out of a bad situation.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Can the phone charger be located so I can look at th4 screen instead of the road.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Can all aspects of driving that isn't steering and accelerating be manull6 done through a multi screen touch panel that takes my attention away from steering, breaking and accelerating?

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Elon can you please make it a condition of sale that I can never sell this to anyone else.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

What an awesome vehicle for Australia. Hopefully your house cost 1.8 million so you live close enough to a charging station. Such as rose bay and vaucluse the most expensive suburbs on the continent. Then all you need to do is arrange for a tow truck about 2 hours south of Newcastle and you could get towed to Noosa for a holiday. All that convince for 100k.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

The tow back is of course to rose bay to charge your truck.

[@julesmasseffectmusic]

Hope you can see the bridge from where you live or your also getting towed home.

[@Gallardo6669]

Why these cybertruck wheels are SO UGLY???? How About something good looking? Htn rennsport or bbs cross spoke rims????

[@jdudleyh]

Craig, you're trying too hard to be cool man. It's hard to watch.
