Developed by Unplugged Performance, the UP INVINCIBLE package promises to expand the electric vehicle’s off-road capability without altering the operation of the original air suspension
Unplugged Performance has announced the market launch of the 2.5-inch UP INVINCIBLE lift kit for the Tesla Cybertruck. The new product is already available for order, shipping and installation at the company’s facilities in Hawthorne and Fremont, California, with a starting price of US$ 9,995.
Aimed at owners who intend to use the Cybertruck beyond paved roads, the package was developed over more than two years and tested in daily use, long-distance trips, trails, overlanding expeditions and also in off-road competition environments.
According to the tuning company, the goal was to create a solution compatible with the unusual architecture of Tesla’s electric pickup. Unlike conventional pickup trucks, the Cybertruck combines air suspension, height sensors, steer-by-wire and a rear-wheel steering system, which makes any suspension modification more complex.
The kit raises the Cybertruck’s body and battery by 2.5 inches, increasing ground clearance and improving its ability to cross uneven terrain. The proposal is to improve approach, breakover and departure angles without forcing the original air suspension or relying on improvised electronic adjustments to the height sensors.
The package includes front and rear upper control arms with greater clearance, support components to maintain correct suspension geometry and stainless-steel hardware. The main parts are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, a material commonly used in high-performance applications because it combines strength and low weight.
One of the key points in the development took place during Unplugged Performance’s participation in the Mint 400, one of the best-known off-road races in the United States. The company entered a Cybertruck equipped with a prototype version of the kit and, during the race, identified a failure in a mounting pin under extreme conditions.
Instead of treating the problem as isolated, the tuning company says it redesigned the affected area, reinforced the system and reduced the total number of components, seeking to reduce possible failure points in the final production version. In practice, the competition experience served as a validation stage for the product that is now reaching customers.
Unplugged Performance says the kit maintains the functionality of the factory air suspension, the vehicle’s height modes, steer-by-wire and the rear steering system on the AWD and Cyberbeast versions of the Cybertruck. This point is important because poorly designed modifications can compromise sensors, alignment, geometry and the operation of integrated electronic systems.
For those who intend to use the pickup on trails, dirt roads, rutted terrain, access roads to rural properties, construction sites or adventure trips, the additional lift can reduce the risk of the underside of the vehicle contacting the ground. For those who simply want a more rugged look, the kit also changes the Cybertruck’s stance, leaving the body higher and giving it a more aggressive presence.
Despite the focus on capability, modifications of this type can affect drivability, energy consumption and aerodynamic efficiency, especially at highway speeds. For this reason, professional installation and proper alignment are important points to preserve the vehicle’s behavior.
With the launch of the 2.5-inch UP INVINCIBLE, the Cybertruck now has a more structured preparation option for owners interested in turning the electric pickup into a project focused on off-road, overlanding or a visually more extreme use.
