Several early adopters of the Cybertruck have found ways to capitalize on the immense popularity of Tesla’s pickup truck. While some have attempted to sell it for profit, despite the no-resale clause, others have taken a more innovative approach. From renting out the Cybertruck on various car-sharing platforms to creating viral videos featuring the vehicle, we’ve witnessed a range of endeavors. However, our recent discovery of Supercar Ron’s Instagram account has introduced us to a whole new level of creativity.
In just a matter of days since Supercar Ron took delivery of his Cybertruck, we have witnessed captivating videos showcasing the vehicle’s versatility. It has been seen being driven while wearing an Apple Vision Pro headset, being ridden on by a mountain bike, and most recently, transformed into a snowmobile. This latest venture is particularly intriguing and, at the same time, extraordinary. Although it ultimately failed, we have gathered all the details surrounding this ambitious project.
A few days ago, Supercar Ron entrusted his Cybertruck to Dave Sparks from Sparks Motors and Diesel Brothers, with the audacious goal of transforming it into the most outrageous snowmobile. We have already caught a glimpse of the so-called CyberTrax through a couple of pictures, which can be found in the gallery. The modifications were impressive, with Dave sparing no effort, from installing the Helltraxx snow tracks to incorporating ultra-bright Baja Designs lights.
However, as the team took the CyberTrax out for a spin in the snow, the wide tracks caused the front suspension to break within a short period of time. Dave took to Instagram to explain that the culprit was the oversized spacer they had to use. Since there is currently no suspension lift kit available for the Cybertruck on the market, the spacer was necessary to accommodate the tracks outside the pickup’s body. Unfortunately, this placed excessive strain on the upper control arm, causing it to deform easily.
Considering the concerns surrounding the fragility of the Cybertruck’s upper control arm, this outcome was not entirely surprising. However, it is worth noting that we have not encountered any other instances of bent or broken control arms on other Cybertrucks, leading us to trust that Tesla engineers had accounted for this potential issue. Nevertheless, experienced truck manufacturers typically prioritize robust suspension components, recognizing that pickup trucks are designed to withstand rough treatment.
Despite the setback, Dave has not abandoned the idea and is contemplating the development of an in-house lift or long-travel suspension kit specifically for the Cybertruck. This implies that the CyberTrax story may not be over yet, unless Supercar Ron has alternative plans for his Cybertruck. However, he currently finds himself in a bind as finding a replacement part for the broken suspension is nearly impossible. Tesla does not have any Cybertruck parts in stock, and there is no estimated delivery time for such components.
