A woodworking master from Vietnam has taken the world by storm by completing a functioning wooden replica of the Tesla Cybertruck. This astounding creation, showcased on the YouTube channel “ND – Woodworking Art,” has garnered the admiration of 2.62 million subscribers who are captivated by the intricate wooden vehicles this artisan produces. While the official reason behind these wooden wonders is ostensibly for the craftsman’s son, one can’t help but wonder if it’s also a clever strategy to navigate the algorithms of YouTube, which tend to favor repetitive content.
The wooden Cybertruck, an exceptional addition to the artisan’s portfolio, stands out not only for its attention to detail but also its larger size compared to previous wooden creations, such as the Lamborghini Sian and the Bugatti Centodieci. This size difference lends an even greater degree of realism to the wooden rendition of Tesla’s iconic electric pickup.
The creation process, reportedly spanning 100 days, involves the meticulous assembly of a metal frame, followed by the installation of wheels and suspension. Unlike many wooden models, this Cybertruck is fully functional, with the inclusion of a battery pack and an electric motor, aligning with the zero-emission ethos of the original Tesla.
Crafting the angular exterior of the Tesla Cybertruck from wood presents its own set of challenges, demanding precision and an unwavering attention to detail to ensure all panels fit seamlessly. In a testament to the artisan’s skill, this wooden Cybertruck exhibits tighter body panels than the original, underscoring the level of craftsmanship involved. Darker-toned wood is artfully employed for the bumpers, fenders, and side sills, creating a striking contrast with the lighter main bodywork. The builder’s commitment to authenticity extends to the replication of wheel covers, mirrors, and functional LEDs. Furthermore, dark-tinted transparent panels are used to emulate the flat windshield and panoramic roof, enhancing the overall lifelike appearance.
This wooden marvel not only pays tribute to the innovative design of the Tesla Cybertruck but also showcases the incredible talents of a woodworking artisan who has brought an electric pickup to life in a way that is as unique as it is impressive.
