Road to Cybertruck | Baja

Last fall, Tesla engineers drove two pre-production Cybertrucks from San Diego to Los Cabos. The goal — to close the design loop with a real world test, find the limits, and break things along the way.

Let me know when you're ready to party

As someone who grew up in AZ doing a lot of backcountry driving, if you did that much mileage and only had a broken windshield then that is a testament as to how bombproof those trucks are. Our mantra was "It isn't 4 wheeling until something breaks" pretty much everytime when you are driving hard. Long washboard roads with cuts and washouts is extremely fatiguing, esp after a couple hours of that, so much concentration when you are running stock vehicles and have to baby them over sections. I liked the amateur hour feel to this too, like not knowing how to deal with cactus (two rocks), not wearing white in heat/sun, no inclinometer, etc. Not bagging, we have all been there, fun stuff, and in one trip you logged as much as most. Epic footage, amazing vehicles, green season desert, those amazing saguaros. Thanks!

Respect the honesty of the cracked windshield... exponentially increases trust in the process 👍!

My friend was a Tesla Tech in Mira Mar for many years. Before you guys even announced the cyber truck we spoke about emailing the higher ups about doing this exact thing. I have a cousin whose won the Baja 1000 a few times now in trophy spec. Unfortunately about 3 years ago my friend who worked for you guys got hit by a drunk driver and passed away. Seeing this video was pretty special. Brought back good memories and was happy to see it come to fruition.

With all due respect, I really like how the drivers are just regular folks without some 20+racing, off roading/wheeling, etc background. They’re reflective of the vast majority of owners who have little experience off road, who will make mistakes, who won’t pick the best line over or around obstacles, etc. This really IS real world testing. Well done to the drivers and the rest of the crew, as well as everyone at Tesla involved with its creation.

Props for showing your products breake, get damaged etc. A welcome change in comparison to other companies, were nothing is allowed to fail on screen.

[BrianSFischer]

Greatly appreciate that you are willing to show the truth of the drive. If GM did this video, you would never see anything break, or the charging challenges.

We need more of this real life content!!!

I'm not a electric vehicle type of dude but this being in Baja makes it exciting. Good stuff boys

Love the transparancy with certain issues that were faced on the journey too!

Mad Respect to the Tesla Cybertruck Field Engineer Team!
These guys put themselves on the line for the advancement of our EV truck future production!

Awesome to see the engineers getting to experience Cybertruck in such diverse conditions /terrains.

A 15 min Tesla video? Now that's a wonderful treat!

Edit: Thread below turned into how YouTube comments was in 2017. Full of idiotic 12 year old kids who can't stop insulting each other

The production quality of this video is amazing.

So I know no one will believe me on this, but when this Cybertruck Baja video was filmed, I was staying at a hotel in Los Cabos. After the Cybertrucks finished their journey, they just so happened to have stopped at the same hotel as me, and I was able to witness these Cybertrucks before they released.

Ignore the noise and give it your very best. The passion shows and this is why Tesla is in a league of its own. I love seeing behind the scenes engineering and testing which gives me the confidence in Tesla vehicles. Loving our Y ❤️

[JackLauricourt]

A true advert for the Cybertruck. More than that, this could be a series for all future builds, gives great depth to the engineering work that is validated.

Maan I do not uderstand people who do not like tesla, I see stuff like this and i cannot look away. Just exciting!

[twilighthan]

Awesome work guys. All those bumps and rough roads for that many days straight will test anyone’s will. We owe you a lot of gratitude!!

[Nthejettss]

As a Baja fan, this was pretty fucken epic. Everyone locally was talking for days about the sitings when you guys drove by.
