People mind-blown after YouTuber creates his own fully functional Cybertruck out of trash

It's not very road-friendly

A YouTuber has built a fully functional DIY Tesla Cybertruck entirely out of scrap materials.

It's equally genius as it is silly, but that’s exactly what makes it great.

YouTube creator Jake Carlini, wanted to skip the long waiting list and avoid spending tonnes of cash on a Tesla Cybertruck by building his own - from scratch.

"I'm gonna build my very own Cybertruck," he announced in his video.

"Building a Cybertruck is not gonna be easy," he then admitted. "I'm going to need a lot of stuff and things. Lucky for me, I had plenty of stuff lying around the shed."

From a distance, Carlini’s DIY Cybertruck actually looks pretty convincing. But if you look at it more carefully, the exterior he made using wood planks just about holds the 'vehicle' all together.

Take a look yourself below:

The engine he used from a tiny electric motorcycle he had lying around and the motor was taken from his other homemade project, a Tesla.

Carlini commented that he found it 'fitting' to use his Tesla motor in his Cybertruck project.

As for the seat, well, Carlini actually took this from a real car and the doors are full McLaren-style with dihedral (gullwing) doors.

The finishing touch was the Tesla logo slapped on the front just for that Musk shoutout.

Not the DIY vehicle may look the part. But it isn’t exactly built for the road or legal, for that matter - it’s slow, fragile and constantly breaks down.

At one point, Carlini gets stranded in the middle of the road causing a minor traffic jam.

But despite the setbacks, Carlini fully embraces the chaos and shows pride in his DIY skills.

"So I finally got my Cybertruck," he concluded in his video.

Viewers have been praising Carlini for his wild experiment and dedication.

"Your marketing is too good this is the first thing ima buy off youtube," wrote one viewer.

"…this mixture of editorial and technical effort and complete uselesness is special. Subscribed," added another.

"The easter-eggs, the lore, the little details, the montage and ofc the Tesla. Beautiful," someone else admired.

Several people have built their own DIY Cybertrucks in the past - it seems to be a pretty popular hobby.

A while back, someone built an entire Cybertruck out of wood, and it was so impressive that Elon Musk himself reposted it after the creator asked.

Then there’s the Siber Truck, a hilarious parody version built by YouTuber Ginger Billy.
