This past weekend, Unplugged Performance visited X Takeover in the Bay Area. Our team had an amazing time meeting passionate Tesla enthusiasts and Unplugged Performance supports from across the country. We had Cybertruck diehards eager to see the INVINCIBLE® parts on the trucks we had on display to Model 3/Y owners ready to see our forged wheels and suspension upgrades. We even had the local police departments come by to view our Model Y Patrol demo car. Whether it was chatting about the future of Tesla or hearing fans say, “When I get my Tesla, I’m going with Unplugged,” this event was a true celebration of community and love for Tesla.
The Star of the Show: UP INVINCIBLE Cyberbeast
Front and center was one of our most recent UP INVINCIBLE® Cybertruck builds to date.
This Cyberbeast turned heads with its stealth Bruce Wayne-like aesthetic, hardcore steel bumpers, modular roof rails, side sail molle rack and an integrated lighting setup that could light up a dark valley. On the feet, we had our newest member to the UP Forged wheel family, CYBRSPOKE. A 24-inch Forged Wheel with a Satin Black finish wrapped in 295/45R24 Nitto Recon Grapplers for range optimization.
With functional rock sliders, modular mounting points, and recovery gear options, this truck was not just a showpiece for the event, it was ready to dominate.
Forged time 3: CYBRSPOKE became the center of attention
We also brought two additional Cybertruck builds to showcase the versatility of our forged CYBRSPOKE wheels. One featured a stunning Blue Green Metallic PPF wrap from the UP Auto Spa team, riding on Satin Bronze CYBRSPOKE’s with Nitto Ridge Grappler 315/45R24s. This truck had the street presence and could also be ready for dark alleys or in a city block black out because it was topped off with our 50-inch UP INVINCIBLE® Double Row LED Light Bar 48v.
The other dazzled with a holographic iridescent wrap, shifting between purple, blue, and green depending on the light. However, this truck means business. With Satin Titanium CYBRSPOKEs, Kenda Klever 35×12.50R24 tires, and a full array of INVINCIBLE armor (bumpers, rock sliders, lighting), it is built for future CYBERODYSSEY events: a trailblazing community event for Cybertruck adventurers.
The World’s Toughest Model Y: UP-RW Road Warrior
Our Quicksilver Model Y on display was equipped with the debut of our UP-RW (Road Warrior) wheel in Satin Black/Gunmetal. These forged 20×8.5 wheels are purpose-built from 6061-T6 aluminum, rated at over 950kg, and come with a lifetime replacement guarantee. Combined with our Dual Rate Moderate Lowering Springs and Street & Track Sway Bars, the Model Y became a case study in how daily drivability and performance can coexist.
From Patrol to Performance: A Full Tesla Lineup
Also at the event was:
● Our UP.FIT Model Y Patrol Vehicle: mission-ready with ballistic protection, Big Brake Kit, and UP.FIT Forged PD Wheels.
● Red Rocket: A 2024 Model 3 Performance transformed into a track-capable daily driver, complete with UP-03 wheels, A052 tires, Carbon Ceramic BBK, and full aero.
● High-Mileage Hero: A Model 3 with 248,000+ miles and still pushing strong with our ASCENSION-R fascia and UP-03 wheels.
● Model X with full Stealth PPF and XR Plus tint by XPEL & UP Forged UP-05 wheels, showing off our wrap capabilities.
On Display: The Parts Behind the Builds
Our booth was packed with real parts for real builds: coilovers, sway bars, camber arms, forged wheels, brake kits, carbon accents, and lifestyle merch.
The Surprise Cameo: Elon Musk
The weekend hit a new high with a surprise stream appearance by Elon Musk, who shared inspiring visions on Tesla’s future. Some key takeaways:
● The Cybercab won’t replace the Model 3/Y but will exist alongside them (link)
● “AI is a supersonic tsunami” and Tesla’s valuation could reach $30 trillion if executed well (link)
● Optimus will serve as a 24/7 assistant and safety worker in high-risk jobs (link)
● Neuralink aims for 20 patients by year-end, and Starship is set to be the most powerful rocket in history (link)
He even joked: “I specialize in turning the impossible into merely late” (link). Classic Elon.
Until Next Time
X Takeover reminded us why we do what we do. It’s not just about parts. It’s about people. About passion. About pushing limits together. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, shared your stories, and joined us in shaping the future of performance EVs.
