After leaving Giga Texas, the Tesla Cybertruck was spotted zipping around the test track at the Fremont Factory on Tuesday, suggesting that the automaker is gearing up for the imminent commencement of initial deliveries.
In the past week, the Cybertruck has been making its way to various locations across the United States. A hauler filled with potential release candidates was observed on the premises of the Fremont Factory, and it appears that these trucks are being unloaded and put through testing by Tesla engineers.
Today, drone operator Met God in Wilderness captured footage of the Cybertruck navigating the test track at the factory. The video’s description indicated that the Cybertruck was undergoing battery endurance tests.
It is worth noting that crash testing of the Cybertruck has been underway, with some trucks having undergone crash tests in Northern California, likely at Tesla’s own crash-testing lab at the Fremont Factory. Recent sightings of Cybertrucks on I-55 in Missouri suggest that they might be en route to the NTHSA’s Transportation Research Center (TRC) in Ohio, which is equipped for such testing.
While the presence of the Cybertruck on the test track indicates significant progress towards deliveries, it has yet to receive an EPA Certificate of Conformity, which is necessary to comply with government regulations. Despite this hurdle, Tesla appears to be pushing ahead with preparations for the delivery event, as evidenced by recent promotional footage shot on an Icelandic glacier.
As Tesla works through the final regulatory steps, it seems the company is poised to usher in a new era of electric pickup trucks, with exciting announcements and videos potentially on the horizon.
