The Tesla Cyberquad is an electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV) concept presented by Tesla, Inc., at the Tesla Cybertruck's November 2019 unveiling. Concluding the presentation at the company's design studio in Hawthorne, California, CEO Elon Musk announced "one more thing", at which point the ATV was shown being loaded onto the back of the Cybertruck. Observers have pointed to elements seen at the unveiling indicating that the Cyberquad prototype had been built by swapping the powerplant and plastics on a Yamaha Raptor.{{cite web |last1=Jacobs |first1=Caleb |title=It Looks Like the Tesla Cyberquad ATV Is Actually a Yamaha Raptor Underneath |url=https://www.thedrive.com/news/31175/it-looks-like-the-tesla-cyberquad-atv-is-actually-a-yamaha-raptor-underneath |website=The Drive |date=23 November 2019 |access-date=8 February 2021}} Certain images from the rear suggest the vehicle also appears to have a powertrain borrowed from Zero Motorcycles.
