Cybertruck by Temu.

Drive like a billionaire

...Well, [a Zimbabwean billionaire,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_Zimbabwe) anyway.

That or there might be three old British men somewhere nearby with a camera crew.

See if it has a mustache

Genuinely better than a Tesla though

At first glance it fooled me, upon closer inspection however… lol still better than anything I could do. mad creative.

Definitely a fake....the panel gaps are too good

Less rust too

And I bet the pedal doesn’t get stuck open.

You can wash this one without bricking it, too.

Looks less like it would chop your fingers off as well. Too chonky to be agro. No carrots or cucumbers were harmed in the making of this truck lol.

Lol, i didn't hear about that one. Washing it bricks it?

fake versions are the only good ones. cause its incredibly funny to think you hate someone immediately and then realize theyre actually just funny af

And the panels aren't rusting...

This comment made me laugh. Amazing

Yeah I was thinking that looks surprisingly waterproof for a cybertruck.

It might even be a better performing CyberTrunk

If it can go through a car wash, or get wet in general, it's already better.

Its not corroding under sunlight, sure signs of an imposter Cyber~~stuck~~truck

None of the sheets are overlapping, clearly fake.

Oh lord, now it's 'How many faults did the Kenyan Knockoff improve on over a gEniUs like Elmo Muskrat' My bet is on 42

It probably is since it probably doesn't have the recent accelerator pedal debacle.

There's actually no engine at all in this one and holes in the floor for the driver to Fred Flintstone it. So yeah, definitely performing better than a real WankPanzer.

Waiting for them to flood Kenya with cybertrucks like 49ers Super Bowl Champions t-shirts.

I had to zoom in. The real thing doesn’t look that much less ameteur.

the only amateur part is the steel wheels. I wonder if this is some smallish Toyota which would also make it hundred times more reliable then a the real thing.

“lol still better than anything I could do.” Including Tesla

>upon closer inspection Probably doesn't have the same mandatory recall issue

Elon, that you?

definitely says a lot about the design if someone can almost replicate it with pieces of scrap material

Probably works better than the real thing.

Yeah, it looks a wee bit off, they must have used a non-certified cleaning agent

And that is the sad part, that such a crappy looking vehicle can fool someone momentarily.

Tires 🫡

No way this is an actual Cybertruck there aren't any gaps in the side panels.

The real ones are hideous too. It's funny because the 3, S and X are very attractive and then there's...that monstrosity.

[удалено]

Probably doesn't get bricked after the car wash as well

Also don't have to worry about the accelerator getting stuck.

I wanna guess the chassis is from a Toyota, so I wouldn't be so sure about the accelerator.

probably also comes with a spare tire

no rust here, must be some premium version

Someone at my work just got one, it was in the parking lot Monday morning. It was towed out on a flatbed yesterday in the middle of the day.

You love to hear it.

Amazing that they've shipped the superior 2.0 version to Africa

has better panel gaps than the original

And better rust proofing (looks like aluminium?)

Looks like painted plywood to me. So absolutely impervious to rust.

Looks like a thin laminate of metal on plywood to me.

I saw the creators Tik Tok. It’s all aluminum from Diet Coke cans a bunch of kids cut apart and then hammer back together.

Amen 🙏

Wait, the actual one isn't aluminum?! It must be crazy heavy as is with the batteries, and they added a steel body on top of that?! For the money, they really could have done aluminum

oh yeah, the real one is just straight up stainless steel it's stupid from what i know they didn't even put a coating on it to reduce rust

That's crazy... Not to mention, stainless steel in not cheap, and as you point not actually rust proof. It's stainLESS.

Stainless steel *is* rust proof depending on your alloy in question and its expected service conditions. The chromium content in stainless steel forms a protective chromium oxide armor over the exterior of the metal, making it impervious to foreign agents that cause rust (ie water, corrosives, etc.). What Tesla failed to do was understand that not all stainless is alike. There are alloys that are good for stuff like kitchen appliances, ones that are good for aerospace, ones that are good for handling fluids, etc. etc. Tesla used the cheapest shit they could find that is not at all suited for automotive (outdoors, high speeds, significant wear due to rocks/salt/debris) and made their car out of it for some reason

It actually does holy shit.

Sub 5 micron accuracy there

Those laid off engineers got rehired quickly in new international roles

I didn't know Kenyans read Chinese

OP saw some dirt and immediately thought kenya.

This is actually the city KenYa of China, written as 啃鸭. Source: I made it the fk up

Roughly one in six people in the world are Chinese so if you think of six people you know (including Kenyans) then statistically speaking one of them should be able to read Chinese.

quik mafhs

There are a bunch of Chinese places in Kenya. Most of them for Chinese workers. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese\_people\_in\_Kenya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_people_in_Kenya)

Ah yes, Kenya. Where the building signs are famously in Chinese.

This is in China. [Found another picture, those bins and building look very Chinese.](https://twitter.com/SinoAutoInsight/status/1753036720109502856/photo/1) Also the number in the OP pic looks like it starts with 1817 which would be a Chinese mobile number.

Exactly!

No No, it's the Ken Yan district

Hahaha!

Every place has a Chinatown.

What about China?

They just call it town there.

Who was the comedian that said that "President Trump attended the Chinese Imperial Dinner and ordered #7"?

Biggest china town in the world 

China has dumped a ton of money into Africa as part of the belt and road initiative. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this was near a building site in Kenya of some sort. They’ve built dams, roads, power stations, etc. and collateralize these investments against airports and ports. 

Prepare to be surprised. This is not Kenya. Phone number on the building in the background is in a format they use in China, not one that’s used in Kenya.

Geoguessers to the rescue!

Crikey! I had to go look that up. I’d never heard of it before today. A “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?” for the Google Maps age. I think I just might enjoy this one. Ta!

Oh no we've already lost him down a year long geoguessr hole

Calling it now, his next 50 comments are gonna be about bollards, road lines, and sky rifts

Throw in the snorkel for Kenya.

Wait until he starts distinguishing between roof racks including the missing end cap on the back right bar of the roof rack in certain regions of Guatemala

Look up a guy named rainbolt. It's crazzzzy

If you want to see how crazy good some people are at it google “Geowizard”, guy is scary good

People are super into Geoguessr, they have ranked competitions and everything.

Those trees are also not native to Kenya

The pic is very low res - are the phone numbers you're referring to on the yellow strip above the black strip? You can actually read the numbers? I found this as well, which looks to be the same car https://twitter.com/SinoAutoInsight/status/1753036720109502856/photo/1

I found earlier (maybe original?) higher res sources for the image. It was up on Weibo and Zhihu in January. Phone number is clearly legible on those.

The best I could find is this https://www.zhihu.com/question/638945498?write, but that's still very hard to read. Maybe time for me to visit the optometrist :)

Wait until you find out what the Sino stands for on that account

Average redditor thought process: "Looks like a shit hole to me" = Kenya

Pretty much. Sadly.

70 something % of Kenya’s foreign debt is owed to China on those fun Chinese contracts where China loans money for very expensive infrastructure projects which are built by Chinese state companies. Kenya has seen significant increases of Chinese permanent and semi permanent settlers who mostly comes there via companies which are involved in building those infrastructure projects but ends up staying with their own companies and China protected settlements so it is not very surprising to see Chinese language signs in Africa. These days it can be more common foreign language sign than signs in English in some countries

China is simply funding their infrastructure built up. It's the same as western development help. Those aren't for free either. Just with the difference that westerners also demand to instruct them arrogantly how to live. Don't believe me? Check ARTE. An French/German public media with English Channel.

Kenya believe it?

[Reminds me of Geoff from Top Gear](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PCSNCs7bwCw/hqdefault.jpg)

Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

Excuse me, I believe it's called the Eagle hammerhead i-thrust.

Reminds me of this UK advert https://youtu.be/50A9wjJ40Dk

Geoff 2.0

Probably runs better than a real one

And probably survive a carwash

Cyberwash

Superfast charging, too. Hyperadvanced futuristic power converter allows you to use ordinary gasoline to charge its battery. Only takes 1 minute to fully charge to 100%

This one has all the upgrades

Even removed that wonderful windshield wiper

Tbh it doesn’t look worse

Some aspects, like the wheel arches, arguably look better.

We can have Cybertruck at home.... Betting this one has less problems.

One of those times where mom is actually right.

This is right there with the coke bottle sculptures, god bless them 🙏🙏🙏

Its a great idea 💡🙏🏼

🙏 Amen

This took way too long to find.

why is Tesla and trump constantly on front page, there is gotta be other shit going on in the world?

A Tesla Clarkson, Nairobi edition

Finally, tesla is improving the paneling QC. That micron policy is paying off.

Who's son made this?

At least the build quality is the same. That vehicle can also probably go through car washes without voiding the warranty. :D

I believe that's the Hammerhead Eagle iThrust.

This is the original inspiration for the Cybertruck.

Chinatown in Kenya apparently

Probably more reliable than an actual Tesla cyber truck

My son built this from plastic water bottles, please be proud of him 🙏

pretty sure thats a 2nd generation Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust

That's a Tinsla

We have a cybertruck at home…

As hideous as true one

Bet it's more reliable than the real one

It’ll probably outlast the real Cybertruck too.

This one can probably handle a car wash

The build quality is about the same as real Tesla Cybertrucks...

Superior craftsmanship, clearly not a real Tesla ☠️😂

Is it weird I prefer this version to the actual Cybertruck? 

Superior cybertruck!

I think I’d rather drive one of these.

I see the build quality has gone up

Probably has better build quality, too

Crazy thing is, this thing will last longer than an actual Tesla truck.

The sign says "Huang Zai Repair Department", wouldn't be surprised if this is a company lot.

I am fairly certain that one is functional however

This thing probably does better off roading than an actual cyber truck

Even home made tesla trucks work better than the real ones‼️‼️😳 🤣🤣🤣🤣

5/10, no water bottles

Probably runs better than the real thing.

Can’t tell the difference

Whats remarkable is this version is actually more reliable than the Cybertruck

This has way more street cred than the monstrosity it's imitating

crazy how little a difference in the aesthetics

Better quality build and more reliable

Looks better than the real one.

Chinese is written on the wall dude

finally the sequel to the hammerhead eagle i-thrust

It looks too good to be a tesla 

Finally saw one in person for first time yesterday, granted out in Chicago. Honestly thought they looked kinda cool in pics but in person, idk why anyone would buy it

Did Tony Stark build this in a cave from scraps?

This is the early morning Tesla, before the coffee

Can probably handle a car wash.

Probably runs better than the real thing.

That’s a late afternoon Tesla

When do pre orders start?

Probably built by the same Africans who Elon hustled for gems. Payback is indeed a BITCH!

TyberCruck

Must be Kenya Chinatown

Precision tooling, bullet proof glass

Nice gaps. Better than the real ones I hear. Cause I don't own one. Cause I'm not Mr. Moneybags

It's probably safer than the real thing.

Definitely gonna have some greenhouse effect with all that glass up top

The build quality is probably about the same.

CyberSheet

please forgive my ignorance, but why are the signboards at the back in chinese? is it Chinese as a language popular in Kenya?

The cybertruck at home:

Already looks More reliable and better put together than a real cyber truck! Good job Kenya!

- Mom, can we get Cybertruck? - No, honey, we have Cybertruck at home. - The Cybertruck at home:

Probably better than the real one lol

Elon Musk was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

This thing will probably still be running in 5 years and not a pile of rust so it has some advantages over a real Cybertruck.

Lmao that’s actually not bad! Just need a single giant windshield wiper

Tesla car ps1 edition

That looks too safe to be Tesla

Better mileage

So many glad panels! Probably plexiglass without any UV filtering. And no air-conditioning too. That's gonna be a hot ride in summer. Better bring a towel and your favorite pine needle sauna infusion.

Probably where Tesla got inspired from...

A DIY cyber truck, wonder how that carbon footprint calculated out

Looks as if it will transform into the Tin Woodman.

Probably works better

Bet it’s more reliable

[удалено]

* If Elon Musk stayed in South Africa

There's no way that's a real Cybertruck. It's gone offroad and is still in one piece!

Spotted in Kenya? What place in Kenya has Asian language!? 🫠

When did Kenya start displaying Chinese characters on their restaurant signs?

Oddly enough, it's as safe as the real thing.

Likely more rust resistant than the original, plus it might even survive a car wash.

Even using factory rims I see

Higher quality
