Car enthusiasts in Pakistan have long been inspired by the designs of expensive and luxury vehicles, often crafting replicas that closely resemble the original models.

In a recent development, a resident of Gujranwala has successfully created a replica of Tesla's famous "Cybertruck." The unique version of the Cybertruck was designed and built by engineer Wali Muhammad in his workshop.

According to Mughal Safeguard, a company involved in the project, the vehicle was created in one of their three branches, with Muhammad working in their branch on Sialkot Road, Civil Lines, at the request of a client.

The design of the vehicle bears a striking resemblance to Tesla's Cybertruck, showcasing Muhammad's attention to detail and creative ingenuity.

The company confirmed that the vehicle cost up to Rs3 million to build, and it has already been delivered to the client.

A company spokesperson explained, "The client wanted a car similar to the Cybertruck, so they reached out to us. Our artisan, Wali Muhammad, built the car for Rs3 million."

This type of custom work is common for the company, which regularly takes orders to build different types of vehicles based on client specifications.

The local Cybertruck has since gone viral on social media platforms, with many internet users dubbing it the "Pakistani Tesla."

Posts on social media have been flooded with reactions. One user, Saad Qaiser, wrote, "Pakistan’s first locally made Cybertruck. Elon Musk, it’s time to open a manufacturing plant in Pakistan. The government is working day and night."

Another user, Khalid Mustafa, added, "Elon Musk, your Cybertruck prototype is roaming the streets of Pakistan. Your design has spread globally, and local engineers have given it a desi twist. Check out this masterpiece."

Other posts joked about the creativity of Pakistani engineers, with one commenting, "There's nothing left that can't be turned into a Pakistani Alto."

Another humorous post read, "Jugaad rocked, Elon Musk shocked. The Cybertruck is now available in Pakistan for just $1,000."

The original Cybertruck, designed by tech billionaire Elon Musk’s Tesla, is a stainless steel electric pickup truck known for its distinctive design, flexible suspension, and armored windows. It starts at a price of $80,000, making the local version a much more affordable alternative in comparison.
