A scene that looks like it\u2019s out of an Elon Musk-directed film was caught on camera yesterday at the SpaceX Starbase in Texas by the person behind the Starship Gazer<\/em> YouTube channel, who managed to point the camera at a Tesla Cybertruck towing a massive rocket engine on a trailer.<\/p>\n

According to the description of the video embedded above, the all-electric pickup was towing a Starship Raptor Vacuum engine, which reportedly weighs around 3,500 pounds in its standard, Raptor 2 version.<\/p>\n

Getting back to the pickup, we don\u2019t know if it\u2019s one of the pre-production release candidate (RC) units or if it\u2019s part of the so-called \u201cmanufacturing confirmation\u201d batch that\u2019s supposed to be the last step before mass production begins. However, we can see the now-patented black wheel covers that initially debuted on the 2019 prototype and then made headlines by taking flight on a freeway in California.<\/p>\n

The rear full-width LED light bar is also present, as well as the triangular side mirrors and huge single wiper, but we can\u2019t see the license plate to see if it\u2019s a manufacturer or dealer plate.<\/p>\n

In any case, this is the first time (that we know of) when a Cybertruck was used to tow a SpaceX rocket engine. Previously, the all-electric pickup that\u2019s yet to be delivered was spotted towing different trailers on the roads of North America and New Zealand, but never something as big as a Raptor engine.<\/p>\n

Tesla\u2019s website says that the zero-emissions truck is capable of towing over 14,000 lbs, so the estimated 3,500 lbs of the flame-throwing engine should be an easy task for the utilitarian EV. At the same time, however, the Austin-based company\u2019s Cybertruck page is still showing images of the concept vehicle, so it\u2019s anybody\u2019s guess what the series production car will be capable of.<\/p>\n

As always, we\u2019d like to know what you think about the video embedded above, so after watching it, head over to the comments section below to give us your thoughts.<\/p>\n
