Two Tesla Cybertrucks were recently observed maneuvering energetically around the Fremont Test Track in Northern California, providing a glimpse into the vehicle’s handling capabilities ahead of its impending deliveries.
While the nature of the laps did not seem focused on testing acceleration, the sight of the Cybertrucks navigating the track outside the Fremont plant stirred anticipation among onlookers. Tesla has been showcasing the Cybertruck on public roads for several months, offering glimpses of the vehicle’s design, but the recent track footage did not showcase the full potential of its touted acceleration capabilities.
Tesla has emphasized the Cybertruck’s impressive performance, claiming an acceleration of 0-60 MPH in “as little as 2.9 seconds.” Despite this claim, the recent track sightings did not fully demonstrate the vehicle’s instant torque, a hallmark of electric vehicles.

This is not the first instance of the Cybertruck gracing the Fremont Test Track. Previous testing occurred in both April and August, suggesting ongoing efforts by Tesla to refine and assess the vehicle’s performance characteristics.
Rumors have circulated about the Cybertruck’s potential performance capabilities, with CEO Elon Musk teasing a high-performance “kick-ass” trim for interested buyers. Speculation has also suggested that the Cybertruck’s performance might rival that of the Plaid Model X, which achieves a remarkable 0-60 MPH in just 2.5 seconds.
During a recent Earnings Call, Musk acknowledged the challenges associated with the Cybertruck’s production ramp-up, emphasizing the difficulties inherent in achieving volume production and ensuring the vehicle’s cash flow positivity. Despite the challenges, Musk expressed confidence in the Cybertruck’s innovative features and advanced technology.
As the Cybertruck inches closer to its delivery date, the recent track display adds another layer of intrigue to the much-anticipated electric pickup, leaving enthusiasts eager to witness the vehicle’s full range of capabilities on the road.
