Cybertruck owner modifies his vehicle into monster truck and people prefer it to the original
The Cybertruck shocked the world with its massive size when Elon Musk first unveiled it to the public eye in November 2019.
However, one Tesla owner managed to make the electric vehicle even more monstrous and intimidating.
Despite the armoured exterior of the Cybertruck, TikTok user supercar_ron took it one step further and posted how a beast of a car can basically become a tank after a few modifications.

The TikTok user, who goes by the real name Ron, captioned: 'Trying to contain my excitement about the monster my Cybertruck has become in a short 2 weeks.
'After a few mishaps and a fair amount of broken parts [...]
'Now that she’s been tested tried and true, let’s go rip while we still have snow! [...]
'CYBERTRAX FOREVER!!!!'
Tank treads have been added to the wheels of the Cybertruck, turning the vehicle into a snow-shredding machine.
The video shows the Tesla car driving through snow, with a man attached behind on a dingy.
These tire upgrades allow the truck to drive through snowy conditions with impressive grip, traction, and functionality.
And people are loving it!
In response to the video, one TikTok user said: 'actually managed to make cyber truck look kinda cool, nice,' whilst another compared it to the likes of a James Bond movie, replying: 'Looks like what you'd expect a Bond villain to drive. I like it.'
It seems to have the original Cybertruck in some serious competition, with one person commenting 'Now that is how the Cybertruck should’ve been made.'
Another chimed in with 'Not a fan of the [original] truck, but I think you found a really cool use for it. Looks awesome as a snow cat.
Other users were more concerned about the impact the snow would have on the vehicle's exterior, writing: 'the snow that thing is going to rust away within the hour' and 'salt gonna destroy that thing in seconds.'
This ambitious project was a result of mechanical team who saw the potential to transform the Cybertruck into an even more insane and versatile machine.
Ron shouted them out in the caption saying: 'Huge props to the team for getting this thing done! Thanks guys!'.
Despite the potential issues of doing so, there's no denying how cool the video of the Cybertruck is. It's not the most practical, nor anywhere near safe for the roads, but it shows how much the boundaries of DIY automotive design can be pushed.
