Man built a fake Cybertruck and slept in it outside Tesla dealership before staff came out and delivered their verdict on the car

This man built a fake Cybertruck and camped outside a Tesla dealership until the staff gave him their verdict.

Making a truck out of wood and a metal skip is an achievement in itself, but this YouTuber wanted to take things one step further.

Will Bower wanted a seal of approval from Tesla’s own staff.

And as expected, they had opinions.

Recreating cars from scratch is no easy feat

When you consider all the people that come together to build a car, it’s quite staggering.

So it’s all the more impressive that some people manage to create cars all on their own.

Remember the Nigerian teenager who created a Lamborghini replica out of scrap metal?

Or how about the Canadian man who pulled together trash from a junkyard to create a Bugatti Chiron?

There’s no shortage of creative types out there who can work wonders.

We collectively take our hats off to them, because we can’t imagine how much work it must take to build them.

And it’s a similar story with this YouTuber and his homemade Tesla Cybertruck.

Turning a metal skip into a Tesla Cybertruck

Will Bower took an upside-down metal skip and worked wonders with it, transforming it into a fully functioning DIY Cybertruck.

It had a drivable mobility scooter base, wheel arches, LED lighting, and interior amenities.

Wood was utilized to help give Bower’s creation the angular look we’ve come to associate with the Tesla Cybertruck.

After it was finished, he had just one question on his mind – what would Tesla make of it?

Camping outside a Tesla dealership in a fake Cybertruck is a risky move

Rolling his creation in to the charging area of his local Tesla dealership, Bower was met with bemusement from other Tesla drivers.

One referred to it as a ‘literal garbage truck’, which are words that have been used to describe the legitimate Cybertruck before.

But worse has been said about the polarizing electric truck.

Bower bunked down for the night, waiting until services resumed at 8am.

“We want to get their feedback on this abomination,” Bower remarked.

While waiting out the night, Bower contemplated whether his creation was better than a real Model 3 he owned.

He compared the two on four metrics – Space, Charging, Camp Mode, Entertainment, and Fart Mode.

Yes, seriously – that last one isn’t a typo.

He wanted to see whether his creation could replicate Tesla’s ‘external fart feature’ using a Bluetooth speaker and custom audio searches.

You don’t get this level of journalism over at The New York Times, do you?

Regardless, his creation won out on that round, also sweeping the Space and Entertainment categories.

The latter was definitely helped by the inclusion of a PlayStation setup.

When morning rolled around, it was time for Bower to get the verdict he’d been waiting for.

“They’re either going to embrace it or we’re going to get told to leave,” Bower told his viewers.

“[My Cybertruck] looks more pathetic in light than it did at night.”

Fortunately for him, he got some encouraging feedback from the Tesla dealership employees.

“I think that’s awesome,” one commented.

“[It’s] so good! So jokes [hilarious].”

Bower admitted that he was surprised by the positive reception.

“I was surprised by the response, I think you never know if you’re going to be well received or just as a ‘prankster’,” he told Supercar Blondie.

“But when I told them about the WHY behind it, i.e because my Model 3 didn’t have the space, I think they warmed to it. Plus, it looked so ridiculous you sort of just have to laugh at it. “

Here’s hoping that made sleeping in it all night worthwhile.
