You’ve never seen a Cybertruck like this one built by a man who wanted the boast of having the only one in his country of Estonia.
Posted to an inspirational soundtrack on TikTok, the man can be seen crafting a somewhat haphazard version of the Tesla Cybertruck around the body of an existing car.
While comical, it has to be set that it’s a pretty solid homage to Elon Musk’s masterpiece.

Man builds homage to Cybertruck
Posting as Pirate to TikTok, the man – real name Rauno Märtsoo – first builds an angular wooden frame around the car before applying white and perspex panels to imitate the already iconic and ‘love-it-or-hate-it’ shape of the Tesla Cybertruck.
His side-eye and haphazard approach are all the proof you need that this is an attempt that is not to be taken too seriously.
Reactions were of sheer delight from fellow TikTokers.
“Cybertruck Temu version 2.0,” said one commenter.
This was echoed by Rauno’s response that it cost him €700 ($775) to make – although it was probably a lot less.
“Probably more reliable than the original,” joked another.
To which the creative TikToker replied: “Starts every time I start the key.”
Another echoed: “Park it in front of the dealership.”
A fourth said: “I love it because the Tesla Cybertruck looks like a refrigerator.”
Homages to the Tesla icon
This certainly is not the first imitation we’ve seen of Elon Musk’s EV masterpiece – and, as they say, it is the sincerest form of flattery.
Recently, we told you about this Cybertruck-inspired casket that costs the same as a Rolex.
It’s made from stainless steel and vegan leather.
This futuristic-looking, EV scooter, meanwhile, has been designed to replace cars in crowded cities and was created by New York-based start-up, Infinite Machine.
It has a top speed of up to 86km/h (55mph) and a range of 97 kilometers (60 miles).
Last, but certainly not least, Elon Musk helped the man who built a fully functional Cybertruck out of wood for $15,000 by responding to his message on X.
