The Tesla Cybertruck is a hot commodity, so it’s not surprising its replica is flooding the market.
In Pakistan where it’s difficult to get hold of a legitimate one, two engineers have created their own version of a Cybertruck for a fraction of the cost.
The replica is fairly comical with ridiculous proportions, but the creators have to be credited for their ingenuity.
It’s clear that there’s nothing like a Cybertruck, but these guys tried their best to capture the magic.

Creating the replica Cybertruck
Two Pakistani engineers called Wali Muhammed and Saad are credited for creating the hilarious little Cybertruck replica.
It’s really tiny in comparison to the original Tesla, it looks like the an SUV was used as the original vehicle so it’s incredibly flat, narrow and close to the ground.
Although the creators have incorporated the famous Tesla strip headlights, the actual car looks like an uncomfortable drive with the enormous windscreen possibly causing a temperature greenhouse effect in the hot Pakistani weather.
While it might not have a place on the roads, it would have a place at this car show, which is essentially a celebration of all weird and wonderful replicas.

Tesla dreams without the Tesla budget
The replica car reportedly cost three million rupees, which equates to about $11,000, a bargain in comparison to the price of an original Tesla Cybertruck.
$11,000 is nothing to sniff at and although the car has been widely ridiculed, the creators have to be given credit for finding a gap in the replica market.
A lot of care has been taken to try and replicate it the best they could, unlike this Lamborghini dupe which has basically no similarities to the original.
While it is funny looking, it has sparked a lot of joy, even if people aren’t laughing with it, rather at it.
