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!!!
