A man created a DIY Tesla Cybertruck out of wood
Production of the Tesla Cybertruck is delayed, so a man in Vietnam made his own.
Tesla’s Cybertruck, the futuristic electric truck that has captivated millions of fans around the world, is supposed to launch at the end of November.
However, due to various production issues and challenges, the release date has been pushed back several times.
But one man in Vietnam was not willing to wait any longer. He decided to create his own version of the Cybertruck using his woodworking skills and materials.
And he did an amazing job.
