This turned a lot of heads

An American man who built his own Tesla using parts from a Cybertruck and a Model 3 is now causing a stir in Los Angeles.

It takes a lot to turn heads in the City of Angels, but that’s exactly what this YouTuber achieved.

This EV may be something of a smorgasbord of Teslas.

But it is 100 percent attention grabbing, there’s no doubt about that.

What do you get when you combine a Cybertruck and a Model 3 together?

For better or for worse, Tesla cars do draw eyeballs when going along the road.

Whether making waves in Milan or converting haters into fans, these vehicles sure know how to make an impression.

Admittedly, they’re not always positive reactions, as WWE star Seth Rollins found out for himself when driving around in Los Angeles with his daughter in tow.

Los Angeles-based David Andreyev – AKA Cyber Hooligan – must have anticipated this when he set about creating the ‘CyberRoadster’.

The genesis of the idea was that he wasn’t much of a fan of the Cybertruck’s appearance.

But he saw potential there, so decided to do some experimenting.

Taking the chassis of an old Model 3, he stripped the Cybertruck down to its core and placed the parts on his own custom Tesla.

And thus, the Tesla CyberRoadster was born.

While using the Model 3 motor, it utilizes the Cybertruck’s bar lights front and back.

The Cybertruck’s presence is subtle but present in the CyberRoadster’s exterior.

This Tesla was causing a stir in Los Angeles

In one video, Andreyev showcased what it was like to cruise through the Golden State’s prime boulevards.

This is where the public got to really take in the sight of the CyberRoadster in all its glory.

And when we say this car was a distraction, we mean it – one cyclist even crashed into a garbage can because he was so distracted.

The attention manifested in other ways, as some drivers pulled up in admiration at traffic lights, complimenting the car as ‘sick’.

Interestingly, Andreyev had his own idea about what element of the car was particularly attention-grabbing.

And that was the paint work.

“It’s Candy Apple Red, it’s 12 layers of paint,” he explained in a clip uploaded to YouTube.

We will concede that it’s a very nice shade of paint.

This isn’t the only time we’ve seen someone do something totally different with a Tesla

If there’s one thing you can say for the following custom cars, it’s that they’re creative endeavors.

Whether or not you’ll like them will depend on how much of a Tesla purist you are.

One Californian did something extraordinary when he 3D-scanned a Cybertruck hood onto a Model S Plaid.

Then there was Mansory’s ‘Elongation’ Cybertruck which looked like a futuristic tank.

And who could forget the Oregon man who turned his Model X into a camper to drive the length of South America?

Now that sounds like a road trip we’d want to be a part of.

Ford wants you picturing a thief. Someone jimmies open your F-150, leaves your own key on the seat, and floors it down the interstate while you stand on the curb reaching for your phone.
