A man in Vietnam has created this perfect miniaturized wooden replica of a Tesla Robovan that’s the ideal size for dogs. 

Tesla unveiled its Robovan at the We, Robot event last October. 

The futuristic-looking vehicle has been designed to carry up to 20 passengers.

This scaled-down wooden version isn’t able to fit any human passengers inside, but it has more than enough room for a cute dog, which is fine by us.

The mini Tesla Robovan is entirely hand-made

The mini Robovan was carefully crafted by the genius from the ND Woodworking Art YouTube channel – who has previously made a fully drivable 6-wheel Rolls-Royce for his son and a wooden Mercedes-AMG G63.

In one of his later creations, he hand-made this pooch-sized Robovan that looks identical to the real deal. 

The master crafter started off with a metal frame and some wheels, before slowly building up the van using wooden parts and pieces. 

Inside, he added several seats – much like those seen in the real Robovan – before tackling its distinctive bodywork.

For those of you who watched the We, Robot event a few months back, you might remember that in typical Tesla style, the Robovan sports a bold and futuristic look. 

The EV features curved bodywork with stripe-designed headlights and taillights, while gold detailing gives it a bit of a luxe feel.  

This replica has been designed to carry dogs

At the event, Tesla announced that the Robovan would be ideal for either commercial or personal use and can be fully adapted depending on how it will be used.

For example, it can be configured to function as a school bus or as a cargo vehicle. 

But in the case of ND Woodworking Art the mini-Robovan has been specially created with dogs in mind. 

In the clip, once the vehicle has been complete, its creator can be seen taking it out to the streets where he parked up near a pooch and placed him inside. 

The cute pup was taken for a quick spin in the EV before being safely removed.

An absolutely perfect use of the craftsman’s skills, if you ask us.
