As anticipation builds for the inaugural Tesla Cybertruck delivery event, sightings of the all-electric pickup engaging in routine truck activities have become more frequent. Recent observations include the Cybertruck towing a boat, emulating the actions of its combustion-powered counterparts, and navigating an off-road trail, revealing its capabilities in diverse terrains.
Florida-based boat dealership Boateka recently shared on Facebook that its staff had an exclusive preview of the Cybertruck, showcasing the electric pickup towing what appears to be a 21-foot Regal boat. Boateka’s post highlighted that these images capture one of the initial instances of a Cybertruck towing a boat. Given the Cybertruck’s expected prowess in towing heavy loads, the apparent ease with which it handles the estimated 3,250-pound dry weight of the boat is noteworthy.

Meanwhile, on the opposite coast in Hollister Hills, California, another Tesla Cybertruck, identified as a Release Candidate, was observed conquering the challenging terrain known as the “stairs.” A video posted on Instagram showcased the all-electric pickup navigating the technical ascent, albeit with some visible effort.
I’m sorry but that’s not how you claim Stair Step at Hollister hills. You need to keep the momentum going, can’t stop mid way going up or you will have a hard time moving up without sliding. pic.twitter.com/RCSMHrTVbo

Social media discussions among off-road enthusiasts and electric vehicle advocates have provided diverse perspectives on the Cybertruck’s performance at Hollister Hills. Some noted that the driver seemed relatively inexperienced in off-road settings, while others pointed out that the Cybertruck’s tires appeared overinflated, potentially contributing to the challenges faced during the climb.
Despite the perceived difficulties on the ascent, it’s hard to overlook the Cybertruck’s notable suspension system, visibly elevating the vehicle as it traversed the steep slope. As these glimpses into the Cybertruck’s real-world activities surface, enthusiasts eagerly await its official debut, anticipating a showcase of its versatile capabilities at the upcoming delivery event.
