While Tesla has not yet committed to a firm date for the first deliveries of the Cybertruck, the car manufacturer has started to drip-feed the internet with more and more Cybertruck content. Most recently, both Tesla and Elon Musk shared a clip on X showing two Cybertruck prototypes driving around the Baja area in Mexico.
The video shows just a glimpse of the 1,200-mile trip that a small Tesla team took to Baja. This trip started in San Diego and saw the team travel down the entire Baja California peninsula, an area that proved to be an excellent place to test out the off-roading credentials of the firm’s first pickup truck.

Admittedly, the terrain featured in this video doesn’t appear particularly testing and consists primarily of dirt and gravel roads with a few puddles here and there. It’s nothing compared to some of the more difficult off-road trails Tesla could have found in the U.S.
The Tesla Cybertruck is expected to reach customer hands with a standard air suspension, much like the Rivian R1T. In the R1T, the air suspension can adjust the ride height by as much as 6.5 inches; it’ll be interesting to see if the ride height of the Cybertruck can also be adjusted to this degree. The journey of the two Tesla Cybertrucks was also made possible by a host of Tesla Destination chargers that have been installed across the Baja California Peninsula.
The journey isn’t too dissimilar to the one that Rivian made with two R1T prototypes while they were readying it for production. The key difference is that whereas Tesla traveled along the Baja California Peninsula, Rivian traveled from the southernmost city of Argentina all the way to the U.S. during the filming of Long Way Up.
