Nigerian man built his own Tesla Cybertruck from scratch

[u/Money-Beautiful5196]

[u/nikdahl]

Easiest knock off ever. Just tack a bunch of sheet metal together.

[u/Electrifying2017 → u/nikdahl]

Or just get a dumpster and slap a motor and battery on it.

[u/Neuraxis → u/Electrifying2017]

First have the design rendered on a PS1

[u/holiday1326 → u/Neuraxis]

Just like Elon's torso. He really went for that early Lara Croft look.

[u/Ceramic_Sundae → u/Neuraxis]

tombraider tits

[u/possibly_oblivious → u/Neuraxis]

Crash Bandicoot

[u/IllustriousIsland549 → u/Electrifying2017]

There's one I've seen a couple times around where I live that is literally the same shade of green that Waste Management uses on dumpsters. We were at Whole Foods, and my wife goes "Who wore it better?"

[u/NMB4Christmas → u/Electrifying2017]

🎯

[u/chilldew → u/Electrifying2017]

The comments about sheet metal sound funny, but the project's creator is a real hunk. He made a replica out of metal that at least looks the part and it even runs.

[u/PaintshakerBaby → u/Electrifying2017]

If using a gas motor, you also have to throw a gallon of nitroglycerin in the back to create an authentic explosion when you back into a shopping cart.

[u/ThugEntrancer → u/nikdahl]

Turning radius of an aircraft carrier

[u/WorkerPrestigious960 → u/ThugEntrancer]

Not really, it’s gonna have the same turning radius as the chassis it was built on

[u/Otherwise_Agency_401 → u/WorkerPrestigious960]

Maybe it was built on an aircraft carrier chassis?

[u/ThugEntrancer → u/WorkerPrestigious960]

Take a lap and think about what you just typed out

[u/1armdprisonrockdruma → u/nikdahl]

So like the original?

[u/radiantwave]

That's not safety glass... Or safety metal for that matter.

[u/Think-Finance-9687 → u/radiantwave]

I dont think they have the same safety regulations over there as we do ....

[u/Chill-more1236 → u/Think-Finance-9687]

bruh that's steel plate welded!!!!!

That's a tank son

[u/cykoTom3 → u/radiantwave]

It's dangermetal

[u/August_T_Marble → u/radiantwave]

That's not safety glass

But a steel ball won't shatter the side windows! Take that, Armour Glass!

[u/Much-Revolution5152 → u/August_T_Marble]

OMG, that was funny as hell. "Bulletproof"....um hmmn.

[u/nangytangy → u/radiantwave]

Perfect match for the tesla cybertruck i would say then@

[u/beardedsilverfox → u/radiantwave]

Yeah this is no cyber truck! It can actually go off road.

[u/Some-good-guy]

"From scratch" or you meant to type "From scrap"?

[u/AngryPhillySportsFan → u/Some-good-guy]

That's not a Nigerian! That's Tony Stark!

[u/3stricksURout → u/AngryPhillySportsFan]

[u/Safe-Zucchini-5511]

Tetanus Cybertruck

[u/ATN-Antronach → u/Safe-Zucchini-5511]

Still safer than a regular cybertruck

[u/Skinnyass_Indian]

Better off-roading capabilities

[u/Cute_Conclusion_8854 → u/Skinnyass_Indian]

Idk the tires are already rubbing the frame

[u/RandyChavage → u/Cute_Conclusion_8854]

He was going for realism then

[u/ThugEntrancer → u/RandyChavage]

Bro said having a turning radius of more than three degrees is for pussies

[u/Hazywater → u/Skinnyass_Indian]

I bet it still works after a car wash. Though it seems to have similar rusting problems.

[u/Mokerchino → u/Skinnyass_Indian]

No cybertruck could handle that dirt course

[u/One-Earth9294]

[u/SlightAspect → u/One-Earth9294]

The real OG winner.

I've seen in Cluj , Romania a cybertrunk. It just doesn't fit. I was abit wowed the first 2 seconds, then the wow factor wore off.

There are way better cars in this price range. I don't get the hype around it and around many "trendy" stuff.

[u/BingBastardBunny]

Probably more reliable and safer than the real thing.

[u/Dear-Nail-5039 → u/BingBastardBunny]

And smaller panel gaps.

[u/smokeyoudog → u/Dear-Nail-5039]

And the owner has less brain damage

[u/apocolipse → u/BingBastardBunny]

At least this one has welded panels lmao

[u/Overclocked11 → u/BingBastardBunny]

definitely looks more badass

[u/lil_antiseptic → u/BingBastardBunny]

But the rust is on point

[u/chiksahlube → u/BingBastardBunny]

ah you beat me to it.

[u/talltime]

What a genius inventor. He should get a few billion, stat.

[u/FT121]

Forms less rust than the original one

[u/HarryBalsagna1776]

Probably sturdier than a real CyberTruck

[u/rykcon]

We got cyber truck at home hut

[u/cockycrackers]

I suspect the Nigerian version is more reliable.

[u/bubblegum-rose]

I’m honestly kind of impressed how accurate it is, lmao.

All they need to do is find a way to make it so building this monstrosity somehow costs $100k

[u/KingofthaQc]

[u/Expensive_Emu6217]

I fear his windshield is not tempered

[u/midlifematt]

oooooor did Elon steal this man’s design?

[u/NarwhalFacepalm → u/midlifematt]

Lol no, but seriously... do we have proof this isn't an old video?

[u/Fuzzy_Adagio_6450]

I'd trust this over Leon's version.

[u/GoopyBlender → u/Fuzzy_Adagio_6450]

[u/Ted_Fleming]

Infinitely cooler

[u/callofdukie09 → u/Ted_Fleming]

Definitely more cyberpunk

[u/BrutalSock → u/Ted_Fleming]

Also not financing a nazi so 👍

[u/Looneytunes110399]

Well, when the prince keeps giving all the money away, this is what happens.

[u/hanqingjao]

You can't even tell the difference!

[u/zombik327]

Now it all makes sense, Elon was thinking about fellow africans when he wanted cybertruck to look like that.

[u/Space_Guardian_907]

Probably safer the an actual cybertruck.

[u/dshepherd131990]

You're telling me that's not a real cyber truck????

[u/Outofoffice_forever]

Nailed it….i mean literally..some bits have probably been nailed together

[u/RachelScratch]

Looks better built

[u/trebuchet_facts]

More like a Tetanus Cybertruck... I'll let myself out.

[u/snackattack4tw → u/trebuchet_facts]

Damn I came here to say this and you beat me by 1 min

[u/3stricksURout → u/trebuchet_facts]

[u/BingleFlip94]

It honestly looks cooler than the actual cybertruck

[u/dyslexic-ape → u/BingleFlip94]

Yeah, but also my dumps are cooler than the actual cybertruck.

[u/GregBVIMB]

Arguably better, also same rust problems I see.

[u/lord_dentaku → u/GregBVIMB]

No, no, no. That isn't rust, it's patina, and it's there intentionally.

[u/full_bl33d → u/GregBVIMB]

I like this one way better

[u/HawkThunderson → u/GregBVIMB]

You can probably get out of it when it catches fire.

[u/dartie]

A big improvement on the original

[u/Marduq]

God bless

[u/TheLastOfChuds]

Needs to be more Orky. Add some Dakka. And paint it a proper red

[u/Ok_Entertainment4846]

Where does he plug that in?

[u/motmx5]

All-time easiest auto body to copy. Change my mind.

[u/gunslingersea]

Elon Rust

[u/Vivid_Ad7079]

1000% more reliable than a real one

[u/Phazx]

Unironically cooler

[u/Spirited_Coyote_8925]

I mean its probably not that hard to do to someone who knows what they're doing. The cybertruck has like no curves. 

[u/Mr_D0 → u/Spirited_Coyote_8925]

I don't think the sub is called "woahthatsdifficult"

And, yes. I do think it's interesting that a dude built a home-made body kit to make a differnt vehicle look like a cybertruck.

[u/AccomplishedBobcat12]

Is it just me or does that thing look kinda Sick

[u/serene_null]

And just about as reliable as the Cybertruck. 

[u/Roallin1]

Sure hope the "windshield" is safety glass. Doesn't look like it.

[u/Banana_Stairs]

Innovation right there

[u/R0botJesus]

It's not ugly enough to be a real Cybertruck.

[u/Few_Radish6488]

I thought it was an actual Cybertruck.

[u/Lord_Dingus83]

Resemblance is uncanny

[u/elproteus]

Definitely looks like higher build quality.

[u/Lucifers_Princess5]

I would drive this before I ever drove an actual cybertruck

[u/Peachbottom30]

It’s probably less prone to breaking

[u/PracticalSyllabub514]

Way nicer than th Tesla version. Probably more reliable

[u/GooeyLuie]

And this is actually more practical than Tesla’s

[u/pyroclasticnuances]

Honestly, an improvement in every way.

[u/KaptenAwsum]

[u/Strong_Implement_500]

It's probably better built than an actual cybertruck 😁

[u/No_Masterpiece4693]

Every so often a video from Africa comes out that looks like some Mad Max dystopia and Reddit will be like "Oh wow...so Neato Burrito. Really Amazing."

The "flying jet car" is dumb and people still don't get free ice cream.

But a bunch of tetanus welded together on a dirt road. Boy that's interesting 🤗

[u/Cabezone → u/No_Masterpiece4693]

That's because this guy had a fun time welding all that together himself. Elon just yells at people.

[u/No_Masterpiece4693 → u/Cabezone]

You think he actually close enough to the actual work to yell. Lol. He probably sends an email to have someone else yell for him.

[u/AC-burg → u/Cabezone]

NO HE FUCKING DOESN'T

[u/dramaking37 → u/AC-burg]

People who work with him talk about how he'll fire someone for saying his idea violates physics

[u/Lucius-Halthier → u/dramaking37]

He forced all of his Twitter engineers to come in at like 3am because he was upset that his tweet about the Super Bowl got a lot less engagement than president biden’s similar post. He made it a big emergency and forced them to change the algorithm so that he automatically got more engagement and views. That worthless fuck has absolutely fired or screamed at people for doing their jobs properly.

[u/AC-burg → u/dramaking37]

It was but a joke

[u/Usual-Syrup2526 → u/AC-burg]

Elon? That you?

[u/AC-burg → u/Usual-Syrup2526]

MAYBE WHAT'S IT TO YA?

[u/Usual-Syrup2526 → u/AC-burg]

Lol

[u/thykhin → u/No_Masterpiece4693]

It’s a fan project car. Allow it Bro.

[u/Dancing-Sin → u/No_Masterpiece4693]

There is no flying jet car.

[u/shark-off → u/No_Masterpiece4693]

But that's actually more interesting to me than Elon's toys

[u/pinenutflavour → u/shark-off]

At the very least it's more real than whatevery fakery that man is spaffing out of his broken dick

[u/foo-bar-25 → u/No_Masterpiece4693]

In five years I’ve never seen anyone write “Neato Burrito” in a reddit comment until today.

[u/EmotionalElk1313]

Why?

[u/Lucky-Mia → u/EmotionalElk1313]

Show elon how it's done?

[u/dogmetal]

He is now the king of Nigeria

[u/Friendly-Raisin-2531]

From scratch? That’s a new level of the meaning.

[u/RealVinnyJacobs → u/Friendly-Raisin-2531]

If i make french fries at home from potatoes I bought, are they from scratch, or is it only if I grew the potatoes myself?

[u/SteakHuge1017 → u/RealVinnyJacobs]

No, potatoes are from starch

[u/Victory-laps]

$100 bet that windsheid is just straight regular glass from a window or something

[u/HorrorOk6796]

Looks like its made from better quality parts then the actual cyber truck. Nobody will be able to rip the siding off that truck with just their bare hands.

[u/Dazeuh]

Hey HEY! Those angles are PATENTED

[u/RecoveringSmugAddict]

CyberRust

[u/Forcedperspective84]

I think those panels line up better.

[u/yourmumisasquirrel]

Coolest g in da tribe.

[u/harkonnen85]

Cyber Trash

[u/Scary-Ad2763]

It probably could handle rough roads better!

[u/RequirementNo2161]

“From scratch”

[u/zzkj]

OEM+ right there.

[u/metal_bastard]

That must be the prince who keeps emailing me.

[u/Wulfgrimm720]

Better than the original

[u/deefunkt01]

diwhy.

[u/BADM00SE]

Elon-A Nigerian built one in a cave,with a box of scraps.
Everyone else-You should have done a better job designing it.

[u/ant2ne]

nailed it!

[u/Slapnbeans]

Mom like "we already got a cyber truck at the house".

[u/I_SLEEP_NORMALLY]

Looks exactly like the real thing. That is, like a big dumpster on wheels.

[u/Tvekelectric2]

Probably more durable than the one from tesla

[u/LewyH91]

This one is more durable

[u/Xyldarrand]

I like it better than the original. It just has way more personality and seems like it can actually go off road.

[u/Front_Cat9471]

They really nailed the heap of junk aesthetic

[u/burjuner]

Elon should send him a truck, would be good pr

[u/Moon_Flowers420]

That dude is smart as shit, wow. Somebody get him to a university

[u/Front_Cat9471]

They really nailed the heap of junk aesthetic

[u/Hungry-Tonight8633]

[u/FelixGB_]

As ugly as the real ones, but probably much cheaper

[u/Immoral-Behavior]

Looks better than the official ones

[u/Detonius]

That is truly impressive

[u/waltarrrrr]

Apartheid-Clyde Elon must be pissed.

[u/TurboRetardo]

Action is coming

[u/Lostintimeandspac]

Looks like he just built a shell ... got a radiator sticking out front there

[u/LadyRei_]

Better than elmos.

[u/feelthesame88]

Wow... I couldn't tell the difference.

[u/whereisbeezy]

That has more room than a musk one

[u/ShakyTheBear]

Its probably the same quality level overall.

[u/Iamnotabotiswearonit]

Looks more reliable than the real thing

[u/Several-Hotel3956]

I would rather drive this one then a real Cyber Truck.

[u/SillyAlternative420]

He made a safer CyberTruck

[u/AbbreviationsNew340]

I think it looks a little better than the original.

[u/TheNomadPilgrim]

Say less. This idea is worth 2 trillion dollars....

[u/Commercial_Layer]

Exact replica.

[u/PotentialIncident7]

More Offroadworthy than the real one

[u/Glum_Ad_3292]

Honestly looks a lot better

[u/SAINSBUR_mcmanus]

PUT IT IN H!

[u/Jaded_Jedi96]

W Nigeria 🇳🇬

[u/TheVTECkickedinbro]

It handles unpaved roads way better than the dumpster truck

[u/skykrown]

both that car and the cyber truck are junk, but the one in video is better because it runs on gas.

[u/Former-Mud9171]

Cybertruck is the simplest possible car to DIY

[u/ReflectionLivid2033]

I want to marry this man 😆

[u/Lime--Soda]

Wait till v2 comes out, there won't be any difference in quality

[u/Infinite-Cress-5885]

he didnt,he build scratch from scdatch

[u/Bruuhhv]

Probably has better hauling capacity too

[u/Hot-Advantage-3876]

When you're not street legal and want to be even less street legal

[u/Shrimp_Richards]

[u/MiyagiJunior]

Is this not made by Tesla? I can't tell the difference

[u/Efficient-Morning616]

[u/One_Tumbleweed_1]

He made it better you can actually look out the back of it

[u/northwoods_faty]

Oh bullshit. He clearly just got a cyber truck and is claiming he built it!

[u/jordan3257]

Fooled me. Looks like the real thing

[u/lazyenergetic]

I see it all the time.

[u/Fragrant-You-973]

Looks better than the real thing.

[u/PilotGuy701]

That’s way higher quality.

The panel gaps alone are much improved.

[u/Chewsdayiddinit]

I wouldn't be surprised if this were actually safer than that shit box.

[u/M0ebius_1]

This drove off road without exploding. It's superior to Tesla's cybertruck.

[u/J_Prime_Time]

Looks way more solid than the actual turd on wheels cyber junk. Tesla is pure trash.

[u/iameveryoneelse]

Bet it can get wet, too.

[u/ScubaLooser]

Go to show you how easy it is to make panels for that car

[u/Sincetheedge21]

This one is probably safer than the original lol

[u/tidder-la]

I bet it’s more reliable .

[u/Individual_Act9333]

His cybertruck has HIV

[u/SafePuzzleheaded8423]

Tony Dark built this in a cave in Nigeria with a box of scraps!

[u/jefferyJEFFERYbaby]

He even got the panel tolerances right

[u/Parma_Jon]

Probably hauls more than a cybertruck 😂

[u/Razasid]

Give this man a Nobel prize in science!

[u/rejz123]

The rustic look gives it more charm than the og one.

[u/euph_22]

Much better build quality. Look at those panel gaps.

[u/LukeHal22]

Probably better build quality tbh
