Car enthusiasts in Pakistan have long been inspired by the designs of expensive and luxury vehicles, often crafting replicas that closely resemble the original models.
In a recent development, a Gujranwala resident 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 created at one of its three branches, with Muhammad working at its branch on Sialkot Road, Civil Lines, at the request of a customer.
The vehicle’s design bears a striking resemblance to Tesla’s Cybertruck, and showcases Muhammad’s attention to detail and creative ingenuity.
The company confirmed that the vehicle cost up to Rs 3 million to build and has already been delivered to the customer.
A company spokesperson explained: “The customer wanted a car similar to the Cybertruck, so he contacted us. Our craftsman, Wali Muhammad, built the car for Rs 3 million.”
This type of custom work is common at the company, which regularly receives orders to build different types of vehicles to customer specifications.
Since then, the local Cybertruck has gone viral on social media platforms with many internet users dubbing it the ‘Pakistani Tesla’.
Posts on social media have been flooded with reactions. One user, Saad Qaiser, wrote: “First locally made Cybertruck in Pakistan. 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 all over the world and local engineers have given it a desi touch. Check out this masterpiece.”
Other posts joked about the creativity of Pakistani engineers, with one commenting: “There is nothing left that can’t become a Pakistani Alto.”
Another humorous post read: “Jugaad shook, Elon Musk surprised. 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. Its starting price is $80,000, making the local version a much more affordable alternative in comparison.
