A Pakistani engineer has captured the internet’s attention with his impressive replica of Tesla’s futuristic Cybertruck, earning widespread praise for his creativity and technical skills.
Based in Lahore, the self-taught engineer, Muhammad Bilal, constructed the replica from scratch using locally available materials. The Cybertruck lookalike boasts an angular design and metallic finish, closely resembling Elon Musk’s iconic electric vehicle. Bilal’s version, however, is powered by a modified internal combustion engine rather than an electric motor.
The innovative project went viral after a video showcasing the replica cruising through Lahore’s streets was shared on social media. Netizens were quick to applaud Bilal’s ingenuity, with many calling it a testament to Pakistani talent and resourcefulness.
In an interview, Bilal expressed his admiration for Tesla’s technology, saying, “I wanted to bring a piece of the future to Pakistan.” Despite not having access to Tesla’s advanced resources, he managed to build the Cybertruck replica on a modest budget of Rs. 1.5 million.
The replica has sparked conversations about Pakistan’s untapped potential in the automotive industry, with many urging local manufacturers to support talented engineers like Bilal.
As the video continues to gain traction, Muhammad Bilal’s creation stands as a shining example of innovation and ambition, inspiring countless others in Pakistan and beyond.
