The Cybertruck and Cyberquad Make Their Debut on Jay Leno’s Garage

With all the media frenzy surrounding the all-electric truck from Tesla, you can still count sightings on the fingers of both hands. Come May 5, we’re about to add another finger to the count, with the next season of Jay Leno’s Garage.

Elon Musk introduced the Cybertruck in November 2019 and he’s been seen driving it around California on a handful of occasions. More recently, he was seen in the passenger seat, with Jay Leno at the wheel, at the end of January this year, prompting reports that he was shooting an appearance on the Garage show.

Officially, the appearance was never confirmed, but the reports were, indeed, accurate. The new teaser for season 5 of Jay Leno’s Garage includes footage of the Cybertruck. This is officially the first promo / TV appearance of the angular, oftentimes controversial electric truck since November.

You can see the teaser at the bottom of the page. As a bonus, the Cyberquad also makes an appearance. Not much is known about the electric ATV other than the fact that it would be offered to buyers of the Cybertruck as the perfect off-road companion. As of the time of writing, it’s only been seen at the official presentation and then in Travis Scott and the Jackboys’ music video for “Gang Gang.”

In late January, when the Jay Leno appearance was first rumored, reports noted that the Cybertruck was taken for drives down Crenshaw Boulevard and around the SpaceX headquarters, while trailed by a camera car. It looks like the Cyberquad went along for the ride, in the back of the truck, but was then taken out for a spin as well.

Season 5 of Jay Leno’s Garage will premiere on CNBC on May 5, and as usual, include plenty of surprise celebrity appearances and awesome cars, as well as many “whatever the hell that is,” including a drivable couch and table ensemble.
