CYBERFEST26 is gathering Tesla owners in Clearwater this weekend for a third annual Cybertruck festival, with more than 100 trucks advertised for a Sunday light-show attempt. The trucks are supposed to take on an 86-Cybertruck mark set last month in Texas. Whether that formation actually happens, and whether anyone official calls it a record, is still a plan, not a result.
The festival site lists the event for Nov. 13–15 in Florida and puts the Sunday attempt at Showtime Speedway, with trucks assembling on the raceway at 5 p.m. Organizers advertise a formation of more than 100 Cybertrucks against what the same page calls the current world record: an 86-Cybertruck light show at X Takeover, Giga Texas, in October 2026.
A speedway full of stainless steel
Unplugged Performance describes CYBERFEST26 as returning to Showtime Speedway in its third year, and as open to everyone, not just owners. Families and spectators are welcome. A GetOutGarage listing places the Saturday program in Clearwater and calls this the largest gathering of Cybertrucks since 2024. That is the listing's description, not an independently counted attendance figure.
The racing card is built for the truck's own family tree. Unplugged lists drag-racing divisions for CyberBeast, Dual Motor AWD, RWD and all Tesla models, plus exhibition runs against gas-powered vehicles. The same listing puts live and silent auctions of Tesla and Cybertruck memorabilia toward Whip Pediatric Cancer.
Two clocks, one speedway
The practical problem is the clock. The festival site lists Sunday, Nov. 15, as 1–6 p.m. at Showtime Speedway. Unplugged's posted rundown has gates at 3 p.m., off-road running then, Cybertruck staging on the speedway at 5 p.m., drag racing at 7 p.m. and a CyberDrift elimination finale at 8 p.m. Those two Sunday pictures do not fit in the same afternoon.
Saturday is no cleaner. GetOutGarage lists Nov. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An Eventbrite search snippet lists that day from 3:30 to 9:30 p.m., and that time comes from a snippet, not a confirmed program. Anyone driving over should check the organizer's current schedule before treating either listing as the door time.
Last year's chaos, this year's target
The festival already has a Florida habit. CleanTechnica reported that Cyberfest & Furious on Nov. 15, 2025, drew hundreds of Teslas, mostly Cybertrucks, with drag racing, CyberDrift battles and auctions for the same pediatric-cancer cause. The writer estimated that probably 100 or more vehicles lined up for that light show and called it the biggest coordinated Tesla light show they had heard of in Florida. That was an eyewitness estimate of Teslas, not a certified Cybertruck-only record.
The number organizers are actually chasing is narrower. Their own page sets the bar at 86 Cybertrucks from the October show at Giga Texas. CBS Austin reported that thousands of Tesla owners rolled into town for that X Takeover. A bigger crowd and an 86-truck light show are not the same statistic. Clearwater's advertised 100-plus is a planned Cybertruck formation. Nothing in the available reporting says the attempt has already been run, counted or verified.
A sales bump, then the exit ramp
The celebration is landing in an awkward production calendar. USA Today, citing Cox Automotive, reported that Tesla sold 1,914 Cybertrucks in October, stronger than any monthly total for the electric pickup in more than a year. The same report put first-quarter 2026 sales at 11,586, down from 16,097 in the first three months of 2025. A one-month high and a weaker opening quarter can both be true.
Elon Musk has said Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for more Cybercab production, USA Today reported. WIRED reported his estimate that production would halt completely in June or July 2027. Those are his statements as carried by the coverage, not a Tesla filing included here. WIRED also reported that the Cybertruck Owners Only Facebook group had more than 82,000 members, and that a letter urging Tesla to reconsider eliminating the truck had gathered more than 5,000 signatures.
So the weekend's pitch is a public speedway show, a charity auction and a formation meant to beat 86. The company's stated plan, as Musk has described it, is to stop building the thing being celebrated within about eight months. Sunday's 5 p.m. assembly is the part of that tension a spectator can actually see, if the trucks show up and the listings finally agree on when the gates do.
