<\/div>Baja Challenge<\/h2>
The Baja 1000 has long been the ultimate test for off-road vehicles. The international race stretches over 1,000 miles of dirt track, sand dunes, and steep inclines on the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico.<\/p>
Tesla CEO Elon Musk bragged in April that the electric car company’s much-hyped Cybertruck<\/a> would pass the challenge with flying colors.<\/p> “We’re working on increasing dynamic air suspension travel for better off-roading,” Musk wrote in a tweet at the time<\/a>, referring to the Cybertruck. “Needs to kick butt in Baja.”<\/p> Now, a Tesla competitor is throwing down the gauntlet, Teslarati<\/em> reports<\/a>. James Glickenhaus, leader of the boutique automotive manufacturer Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, challenged Musk to “bring it” at the 2023 Baja event, challenging Tesla to a race — against Glickenhaus’ hydrogen-powered off-road vehicle.<\/p> It’s an especially spicy challenge considering Musk’s views on the matter<\/a>. “You have said that Hydrogen technology is ‘Mind boggling [sic] stupid,'” Glickenhaus wrote in an Instagram post<\/a>. “You’ve also mentioned that The Baja would be a great test for your Cyber Truck [sic]. We say Bring It.”<\/p> “The Baja 1000 would be a great test for your Cyber Truck [sic],” the boutique owner wrote, noting that its gas-powered vehicles raced the Baja 1000 twice, winning last year’s Baja 1000 Class 2.<\/p> Glickenhaus’ plan is to convert that winning formula to a hydrogen powertrain in order to race in the 2023 Baja 1000.<\/p> “This would be a great time for you to join the race with your Cyber Truck [sic],” he wrote.<\/p> Glickenhaus even offered up to “set up charging stations for your Cybertruck,” noting that one tank of hydrogen should be enough for “the entire 1,000 miles.”<\/p> Tesla’s top-of-the-range Cybertruck with three motors only has an estimated range of “500 plus miles,” according to the company’s website<\/a>.<\/p> READ MORE: <\/strong>Tesla Cybertruck challenged to 1k-mile race against hydrogen-powered off-road beast<\/a> [Teslarati<\/em>] More on the Cybertruck:<\/strong> Toy Cybertrucks Will Be Delivered Too Late For Christmas<\/a><\/em><\/p> The post Carmaker Challenges Cybertruck to Off-Road Race Against Fuel Cell Vehicle<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Follow this link: Baja Challenge The Baja 1000 has long been the ultimate test for off-road vehicles.
