<\/div>Russian Ride<\/h2>
Someone is Russia has already gotten their hands of one of Tesla’s futuristic-looking Cybertrucks<\/a>. Sort of.<\/p> A team of Russian YouTubers has created a look-alike version of the vehicle, and on Thursday, a video<\/a> of them driving the knockoff Cybertruck around Moscow began making the rounds on social media.<\/p> “How do you like that, Elon Musk?” one Twitter user wrote alongside the video,<\/a> according to Jalopnik’s<\/em> translation<\/a> from Russian. “Tesla has not yet started selling Cybertruck, but in Moscow they have already assembled their own.”<\/p> The Moscow Times<\/em> reports<\/a> that the vehicle is the work of Youtube channel “Pushka Garazh.”<\/p> Given the, let’s say, distinct look<\/a> of Tesla’s Cybertruck, it’s easy to tell it was the inspiration for the group’s vehicle. But as Jalopnik<\/em> pointed out, there are a few key differences in the designs.<\/p> For one, the Russian Cybertruck has a rectangular rear wheel arch, which the real vehicle has one shaped like half of a hexagon. The bootleg is also a bit shorter in length but taller in height than Tesla’s Cybertruck.<\/p> The differences between the two vehicles aren’t just skin deep, either. The YouTubers built their knockoff using a Lada Samara as the base, so unlike the real Cybertruck, it’s gas-powered — though the group is considering making an all-electric version.<\/p> “We might give it electric traction like Tesla,” they told 360<\/em><\/a>, a Russian state-owned television channel. “We have a lot of ideas for this project.”<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> Someone’s Already Made Their Own Cybertruck In Moscow<\/a> [Jalopnik<\/em>]<\/p> More on the Cybertruck:<\/strong> Watch YouTubers Build a Functional Half-Scale Cybertruck, Because Why Not?<\/a><\/em><\/p> The post Russians Troll Elon Musk With Knockoff Cybertruck<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Originally posted here: Russian Ride Someone is Russia has already gotten their hands of one of Tesla\u2019s futuristic-looking Cybertrucks .
