The Tesla Model S Plaid is currently the world’s fastest EV around Germany’s Nürburgring, but can it compete with a 2,500 hp donk? The latter is basically a 1971 Chevy Impala powered by a heavily tuned turbocharged LS7 V8 engine sourced from a C6 Corvette Z06, all the while riding on 26-inch wheels, which is definitely an unusual sight at the drag strip.
Inventor Riz Nwosu has wanted a Tesla Cybertruck since it was unveiled in 2019, and fast forward to the end of 2021, he unveiled a functional prototype. Unfortunately, Tesla trademarked the name he wanted to use, “CYBERBACKPACK”, a few months later.
The Tesla Cybertruck will officially go into production in 2023, but the latest prototype does appear a bit rough around the edges. One example would be the door color not matching the rest of the body, but considering that most prototypes are camouflaged, this most likely isn’t a big deal.

Elon Musk announced that production of the second-generation Tesla Roadster has been pushed back to 2023, but that doesn’t mean it has stopped altogether. Industrial designer Khyzyl Saleem just couldn’t want anymore, so he created the Tesla Precept.

The Tesla Cybertruck production model is still a mystery, especially since the company removed any reference as to when pre-orders will be built. However, there may be some good news on the way, as photos of the production model have allegedly surfaced, and there are a few changes to say the least.
