Automotive enthusiasts in Pakistan have long taken inspiration from the designs of expensive and luxurious vehicles, often making replicas that closely resemble the original models.
Recently, a resident of Gujranwala managed to create 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 created at one of their three branches, with Muhammad working at their branch on Sialkot Road, Civil Lines, at the request of a customer.
The vehicle’s design bears a striking resemblance to Tesla’s Cybertruck, showcasing Muhammad’s attention to detail and creative ingenuity.
The company confirmed that the vehicle cost up to Rs 3 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 contacted us. Our craftsman, Wali Muhammad, built the car for 3 million rupees. »
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 were flooded with reactions. One user, Saad Qaiser, wrote: “Pakistan’s first indigenously manufactured Cybertruck. Elon Musk, it’s time to open a manufacturing plant in Pakistan. The government works day and night. »
Another user, Khalid Mustafa, added: “Elon Musk, your Cybertruck prototype is roaming the streets of Pakistan. Your design has spread all over the world and local engineers have given it a desi touch. Check out this masterpiece artwork.”
Other articles joked about the creativity of Pakistani engineers, with one commenting: “There’s nothing left that can’t be made into a Pakistani Viola.”
Another humorous post read: “Jugaad was shaken, Elon Musk was shocked. Cybertruck is 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 truck known for its distinctive design, flexible suspension and armored windows. The starting price is $80,000, making the local version a much more affordable alternative in comparison.
