Equipment and modifications on the Tesla Cybertruck
The Tesla Cybertruck is no ordinary pick-up truck. Equipped with UP INVINCIBLE Carbon Fiber Fender Flares and 22″ UP CYBRHEX Forged Wheels wrapped in 35×12.50 BFG KO2 All-Terrain tires, this beast of a vehicle is ready to take on any challenge. The carbon fiber fender flares not only add a sleek and aggressive look to the Cybertruck, but they also provide additional protection. The forged wheels, paired with the all-terrain tires, ensure optimal performance both on and off the track. With these enhancements, the Cybertruck is a force to be reckoned with.
Tesla meet at Santa Clarita Superchargers
Before heading to the track, a Tesla meet was organized at the Santa Clarita Superchargers. Hosted by the Tesla Owners Club of Santa Clarita Valley, this meet brought together seven Cybertrucks, making it the largest gathering of privately-owned Cybertrucks to date. It was an opportunity for Tesla enthusiasts to come together and share their excitement for these revolutionary vehicles. Capturing some stunning drone footage during the golden hour, the meet set the stage for the action-packed day ahead.
Arrival at Buttonwillow Raceway Park for TeslaCorsa
After the meet, the convoy of Cybertrucks made their way to Buttonwillow Raceway Park for TeslaCorsa. This renowned raceway provided the perfect backdrop for the track day experience. As the Cybertrucks arrived, the excitement in the air was palpable. Buttonwillow Raceway Park is not only a favorite among race car enthusiasts but also a hotbed for Tesla drivers. With a new track being developed right next to the old one and 16 Superchargers conveniently located in the pits, it’s a haven for those seeking thrills and performance.
Testing and tuning of Dark Helmet on the track
Once at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, it was time to unleash the power of Dark Helmet, the Plaid Race Car towed by the Cybertruck. Dark Helmet, which has set many records in the past, was put to the test on the track. The team focused on testing and tuning new settings to enhance its performance. The initial results were promising, fueling excitement for the development of Dark Helmet in the future. The day was filled with the adrenaline rush of pushing the limits and fine-tuning every aspect of the race car.
Track laps in the UP INVINCIBLE Cybertruck
But the excitement didn’t end with Dark Helmet. The unexpected highlight of the day was taking the UP INVINCIBLE Cybertruck out on the track. This near-7000lb pick-up truck, equipped with the Unplugged Performance’s line of invincible upgrades, proved to be a formidable contender. Development driver Craig Coker took the Cybertruck for three TeslaCorsa sessions, achieving a final time of 2:15, a remarkable feat for a truck of this size. The Cybertruck’s BAJA mode, with its precise control of handling balance and reduction in stability assist, proved to be the winning combination. It was an exhilarating experience witnessing the Cybertruck’s performance on the track.
Results and performance of the Cybertruck
The performance of the Cybertruck exceeded expectations. With its powerful upgrades and expert handling, it showcased its capabilities on the track. Despite the challenges posed by the slippery all-terrain tires, the Cybertruck’s lap time of 2:15 was impressive. This track day was not about breaking records but about testing, learning, and having fun. The Cybertruck delivered on all fronts, leaving the team satisfied with their accomplishments. The blend of power, precision, and control displayed by the Cybertruck solidified its position as a leader in the world of electric vehicles.
Development and validation of Unplugged Performance’s products
Throughout the track day, the development and validation of Unplugged Performance’s products were a key focus. The invincible line, including carbon fiber fenders, forged wheels, and quick disconnect links for sway bars, demonstrated their effectiveness and durability. Unplugged Performance strives to continuously improve and expand on their product offerings. The track day served as a platform to gather valuable data and feedback, which will contribute to the development of future upgrades and enhancements.

You are determined to showcase the versatility and capability of your Tesla Cybertruck. Equipped with UP INVINCIBLE Carbon Fiber Fender Flares and 22″ UP CYBRHEX Forged Wheels wrapped in 35×12.50 BFG KO2 All-Terrain tires, you loaded your 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, you 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, you made it to BRP.
Track day: As expected, you put Dark Helmet on the track for testing and tuning of some new settings. Quickly pleased with the results, you moved on to the unexpected: track laps in the UP INVINCIBLE Cybertruck.
Your 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!!!
