Pakistani Engineer Builds Viral Tesla Cybertruck Replica

Car enthusiasts in Pakistan often draw inspiration from the designs of high-end vehicles, crafting their own impressive replicas that closely resemble the originals.

A local of Gujranwala has just made history by building an exact duplicate of Tesla’s iconic ‘Cybertruck’. In his workshop, engineer Wali Muhammad designed and developed the remarkable Cybertruck.

The car was made at one of Mughal Safeguard’s three branches, according to the firm involved in the project. Muhammad was employed at their Sialkot Road, Civil Lines branch at a client’s request.

This vehicle is a perfect example of Muhammad’s creativity and attention to detail in design; it looks much like Tesla’s Cybertruck.

The final price tag for the vehicle was up to Rs3 million, according to the manufacturer, and it has already been sent to the customer.

“The client wanted a car similar to the Cybertruck, so they reached out to us,” a representative from the company said. It cost three million rupees, and our master artisan Wali Muhammad made it.

The company frequently receives orders to construct various cars according to client specifications, so this type of custom work is nothing new for them.

After that, the local Cybertruck became famous online, and many people started calling it the “Pakistani Tesla.”

Reactions have been pouring in on social media posts. Saad Qaiser, a user, wrote, “Pakistan’s first locally made Cybertruck.” Elon Musk, it’s time to open a manufacturing plant in Pakistan. The government is working day and night.

A commenter on another page made fun of the inventiveness of Pakistani engineers, writing, “There’s nothing left that can’t be turned into a Pakistani Alto.”

“No one can beat Indians & Pakistanis in Jugaad 🤣,” read another hilarious post.

The first Cybertruck was an electric pickup truck made of stainless steel by Tesla, the company owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk. It had a unique design, a flexible suspension, and windows that were protected by armor. With a starting price of $80,000, the local version is far more cheap than the other option.
