Car enthusiasts in Pakistan have long been inspired by the design of expensive and luxury cars, often made replicas that resemble the original models.
In a recent development, a resident of Gujranwala has successfully created a replica of Tesla’s famous “Cybertruck”. The unique version of the Cybertruck was designed and built by engineer Wali Muhammad in his workshop.
According to Mughal Safeguard, a company involved in the project, the vehicle was set up in one of their three branches where Muhammad was working in their branch on Sialkot Road, Civil Lines, at the request of a client.
The vehicle’s design bears a striking resemblance to Tesla’s Cybertruck, showing Muhammad’s attention to detail and creative ingenuity.
The company confirmed that the vehicle cost up to Rs3 million to build and it has already been delivered to the customer.
A company spokesperson explained: “The customer wanted a car similar to the Cybertruck, so they approached us. Our craftsman, Wali Muhammad, built the car for Rs 3 million.”
This type of custom work is common for the company, which regularly takes orders to build different types of vehicles based on customer specifications.
The local Cybertruck has since gone viral on social media platforms, with many netizens dubbing it the “Pakistani Tesla”.
Social media posts have been flooded with reactions. One user, Saad Qaiser, 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.”
Another user, Khalid Mustafa, added: “Elon Musk, your Cybertruck prototype is roaming the streets of Pakistan. Your design has spread globally and local engineers have given it a wish twist. Check out this masterpiece.”
Other posts joked about the creativity of Pakistani engineers, commenting: “There is nothing left that cannot be turned into a Pakistani alt.”
Another humorous post read: “Jugaad shook, Elon Musk shocked. Cyber truck now available in Pakistan for just $1,000.”
The original Cybertruck, designed by tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Tesla, is a stainless steel electric pickup known for its distinctive design, flexible suspension and armored windows. It starts at a price of $80,000, making the local version a much more affordable alternative in comparison.
