You’d think driving around in an inconspicuous matte black PPF covered vehicle with the angularity of a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber would provide some level of incognito, but it seems like wherever this truck goes, it grabs the attention of everyone around. What could have given it away? Maybe, it was the “Flamethrower” strapped to the side of the truck? Like Batman, why not equip your vehicle with all the armor, technology, and self-defense accessories as possible so you’re ready for any Joker that stands in your way. Thinking back on it, there might be nothing more attention grabbing than a Dark Knight Tumbler-esque Tesla Cybertruck on 22” wheels and here’s why…
Much like fictional billionaire, Bruce Wayne, Elon Musk’s The Boring Company shares its love of underground caverns inhabited by some of the world’s most technologically advanced vehicles through its network of tunnels designed to alleviate urban congestion. The idea for the company was born out of Musk’s frustration with the traffic in Los Angeles, a location which happened to be one of the key set pieces used in The Dark Knight Rises movie and home of Unplugged Performance. In the Dark Knight we see the Joker crash a fund raiser dinner for, soon to be Two Face, Harvey Dent’s political campaign. Well to raise funds for The Boring Company, Musk took a less traditional approach by selling a promotional item in the form of “Not-a-Flamethrower”, raising a reported 10 million dollars. This led to a much needed and well received underground tunnel network in Las Vegas starting at the convention center, where if you’ve ever attended an event there, like SEMA, you know just how terrible the traffic jams on the surface streets can get. Our “Not-a-Flamethrower” and accompanying fire extinguishers along with a portable Tesla charger go with us everywhere thanks to the Unplugged Performance INVINICBLE Side Sale Molle Rack. This rack allows you to easily and securely attach virtually any off-road, overlanding, or crime fighting accessory to it for quick access to them from the outside of the vehicle.
In the Dark Knight Rises, while on the run from the police, Batman gets backed into a shadowy corner seemingly disappearing into the darkness but quickly and very overtly makes his reappearance via the blinding lights on his plane, the Bat Wing. We’ve accomplished this same effect thanks to the help of an Unplugged Performance roof mounted 50-inch Dual Row LED Lightbar, 50-inch LED Lightbar mounted inside a Carbon Fiber Hood system, a 32-inch lightbar mounted within the steel INVINCIBLE steel Bull Bar, and two 11-inch LED Floodlights found at the corners of the steel INVINCIBLE front bumper. This combination is our own form of a bat signal, brighter than the Gotham sun shining down on the city after a long night of fighting crime.
To catch Heath Ledger’s Joker, Christian Bale’s depiction of Batman must develop his own networking system in order to amplify a signal capable of triangulating on the Clown Prince of Crime’s location. Fast forward to present day and we have Starlink, an internet service developed by SpaceX that utilizes LEO or low earth orbit satellites, a satellite constellation mesh network, and ground stations providing low latency and fast data transmission. Now combine that with your Bat Cybertruck by way of the Unplugged Performance Starship Starlink Mount and you’ve got yourself a mobile crime lab. This mount comes in various forms for all generations of Starlink and can be mounted in multiple locations on the Cybertruck like the L-Track System in the bed or mounting points along the edge of the roof & bed.
Perhaps the most notable detail on the Bat Tumbler must be its enormous utilitarian wheels and tires. A fitting combination for a vehicle that was specifically designed for the DC adjacent Nolan-Verse’s police and military. Something that just so happens to be Unplugged Performance expertise creating wheels like the UP.FIT Forged PD wheel with their program that has built fleets of Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertrucks that are used across law enforcement and various military branches. The CYBRHEX wheels on this truck however may be better suited for Space Force however since they are inspired by Mars Rovers and retro-futuristic concept cars giving it its rugged and brutalist appearance. This forged wheel dubbed the CYBRHEX was designed specifically for the Cybertruck, meaning unlike off the shelf wheels made with other trucks in mind this one has a load rating that can specifically handle the immense weight of the heavy EV truck. Cape them in a set of 265/55/22 Yokohama Geolandar G015 Tires and you’ve got a combo good enough for the streets of Gotham or the trails leading to your Batcave.
