Ukrainians build their own cybertruck - but the Tesla copy doesn't run on electricity

It will be a while before the Tesla Cybertruck hits the market. The waiting time until 2021 was too long for a Ukrainian - he built his own cybertruck.

Poltava - At the presentation of Tesla's cybertruck , the Internet laughed a little : on the one hand at the bizarre design of the electric pick-up , on the other hand at the fact that the “armored glass” panes broke, as head of design Franz von Holzhausen (52) one Metal ball against it threw. But Elon Musk's (49) vehicle, which takes getting used to, is now almost a cult, and a large fan base has already formed around the car - although it is not yet on the market. The fans also include a man named Ilya Kramer from the Ukrainian city of Poltava: He couldn't wait for sales to start in 2021 - and just built his own Tesla Cybertruck out of an old minibus, like24auto.de reports.

Ilya Kramer completely dismantled the minibus and cut most of it away. In principle, only the chassis , engine and steering wheel remained . In terms of dimensions, the Ukrainian stuck to the Tesla model pretty closely : his vehicle is almost six meters long and almost two meters high. Only: The copy cannot do anything with a charging station: Ilya Kramer has to take his vehicle to a completely normal gas station. A 2.5-liter diesel engine works under the hood of his "Tesla" . * 24auto.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network
