I saw this truck at the LA Auto show. My wife and I laughed at it because even from 10 feet away, it looks like something somebody made in their garage. It was the worst “concept” car I’ve ever seen.
The guys in this video skewer the vehicle, and it was still even worse in person. It felt like such a scam that my wife and I questioned how it was even allowed in the show. Obviously, all it takes is a little bit of money to secure a spot in one of the convention center’s many hallways. The truck wasn’t actually featured on one of the show floors.
It was memorable for how awful it was, I will give it that much.

That was kind of embarrassing. Not sure what their objective was. Many cars at shows are special niche refinements or concepts, but those guys were acting both guilty and insecure at the notion of being video recorded - so what did they expect if bringing an 'entry' to a public car show?
I really enjoy watching some of the SEMA car shows, where the cars are so ultra refined and tricked out, thus making them really useless for the road but great eye candy with ideas for creative styling or accents. Most of the SEMA entries probably cost more than ten brand new equivalent cars, but they are fun to look at. I've even seen a couple Tesla entries, but they were mainly rad interior makeovers, subwoofer filled trunks, or lowered suspensions and trick wheels. But the older cars restored like new and tricked out, are what really catches my eye at SEMA. I've even noticed a couple retro electric conversions too, but those have been a rare SEMA sighting for me so far.
But those guys presuming that 'negative' things would be said about them in a video shows they were apprehensive and insecure about their vehicle entry. But they seemed afraid to present it as an imitation Cybertruck to anyone that is familiar with Teslas. Wonder what they would've said to someone unfamiliar? Of course we don't know possibly what was said off camera maybe beforehand too. The YouTubers might've walked up to them laughing and making fun of them before they started recording.
But actually I still think it was more than that. Viewing more into the video, seeing the build quality of a backwoods repaired tractor shed - part of me thinks they were trying to falsely imitate a Cybertruck and present it as a POS to the totally uninformed passerby. Especially since they made sure there were electric motors and a battery pack underneath, with the sail pillars, bed and tailgate also being similar shaped. This doesn't present well for organizers of the 'LA Auto Show' either, if they'd allow such a POS entry placed in their front center hallway like that. Wonder if they did it on purpose??
It's kind of like the misinformation that today's MSM constantly pushes out, just in physical form.
