I think it’s ambitious and cool as hell. Do I wanna see it and maybe drive it once? Yes. Do I want to own it? Not at all.


servetheKitty

Better than the cyber truck


BMWbill

Sorry but no. The CyberTruck comes with 4 wheels the same color.


servetheKitty

Maybe But the body panel edges won’t cut you. https://www.google.com/search?q=sharp+edges+on+cybertruck&client=safari&sca_esv=73a5863c59a470b2&sca_upv=1&hl=en-us&biw=414&bih=705&tbm=vid&sxsrf=ACQVn0_hzMaQ7e-YHakKd5OosF9sos1EQQ%3A1714415134401&ei=HuYvZpaUGMDL0PEP8p2tkAs&oq=sharp+edges+on+cybertruck&gs_lp=EhBtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXZpZGVvIhlzaGFycCBlZGdlcyBvbiBjeWJlcnRydWNrMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBEjVdlDSJFjdbHAAeACQAQCYAY0CoAH-H6oBBzE0LjE1LjO4AQPIAQD4AQGKAhBtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXZpZGVvmAIaoAKmHMICBxAjGCcYrgLCAgcQIxiwAhgnwgIEEB4YCsICCBAhGKABGMMEwgIIEAAYCBgNGB7CAgsQABiABBiGAxiKBcICCBAAGKIEGIkFwgIIEAAYBxgIGB7CAgYQABgHGB7CAgoQIRigARjDBBgKmAMAiAYBkgcGNy4xNi4zoAftbg&sclient=mobile-gws-video#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:67b2c17f,vid:n9QzfpKIHrA,st:0

The CyberTruck frunk can cut your fingers off if you put your fingers under the lid by the hinge…. Want to put your dingers under my Tacoma hood and watch me cut them off even faster? lol


servetheKitty

Not what I was referencing. But I don’t advise putting ’dingers’ in any mechanical opening 🌭🤙🏼


BMWbill

Yeah I know. But I also don’t slice my cucumbers using truck. I use a knife. That guy is just stupid.


vicali

People do weird things sometimes.


Sostegaria

But what does he do with the gas cap?


Holiday_Ad126

That’s where you store the Dr Pepper


sailingnewd

I want a snack bar in my truck with a soda fountain.


VaporizedKerbal

For me the worst part is the wheels. Both white and black wheels only work on some cars, so you have to be careful with them. Neither of them work with this, and it has both


scooterprint

I’m guessing they just threw on whatever wheels were cheap/convenient at the time.


GuiltyGTR

Except these look like Rays Forged wheel CE28. Which are not cheap. They are light and strong. Very nice. Not great here but very nice wheels.


scooterprint

Well… maybe they just had a set laying around. Some people just have that kind of stuff sitting in storage waiting for a home.


blackthorn_90

Ran out of funds for the matching set.


Arayder

Only the fronts are those, the rears almost look like model 3 stock wheels if you zoom in.


NWdabest

Just watched Neil Brennan on Netflix and he said he had clinical depression for years and driving a Tesla made him laugh maniacally because how ridiculously stupidly fast they move. This taco would be insane.


racistfire

One of the best stand up sets I’ve seen in forever, also too relatable


rip_tide28

Sounds cool to me. I’m a gearhead so just because I wouldn’t do something to mine doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate it. Plus with the lowered suspension + wheels and tires makes me think it might drag or drift. Thing probably rips


ToyotaFanboy526

Fastest Toyota Tacoma in the world probably, but I’d hate to own it. It’d be fun to drive though


BeExcellent

there are gen1’s with 2jz-gte swaps


ExiledCanuck

So you’re confirming that this one is likely faster?


tv_eater

There is always someone going iTs GoT a 2jZ sO iTs FaStEr


The_Nauticus

It's a tesla wearing the skin of a 1st gen. Sociopathic behavior. Cool sleeper truck project. Roll some sine waves on those diesel cummins trucks.


davewah11

Love it!


NtooDeep87

Bad ass


JohnnyGFX

I hope to take such good care of my Tacoma that someday I replace the engine with a motor and the gas tank with a battery. This is a different route than I would go for, but it is still cool and ambitious and I respect that even if it isn’t my style setup.


jtan619

that was badass in the early 2000s...I used to have 99 taco that was SLAMMED like that. 90s-early 2000s was the mini truck era...


YawnOiler

I’m usually a brand purist when it comes to drivetrain swaps, but I’d daily the shit outta this thing. It’s gotta be an absolute blast to drive.


Turbulent-Kiwi-9734

Need more info, just the drive train? Have a buddy that rips these out of teslas to make ev camper vans. Pretty sure he doesn't use most the other Tesla components and reverse engineers his own. Absolute mad man. I could see this yoto owner bringing the same kind of energy.


Turbulent-Kiwi-9734

Wild idea, I approve. (To answer the question)


51line_baccer

Waste of a good gen 1 body?


abou824

Lol who cares. It's cool.


RefrigeratedTP

It’s mint though?


Lanceallennn

Gen 1s are horribly slow. This is making it better


cabezatuck

I think it looks terrible, but to each their own.


Fibocrypto

Id like to see well it handles going down hill into a corner in the rain.


wood4536

Was that an S runner?


Stockersandwhich

E Runner


DTRite

Electric crate motors are pretty cool.


FleshlightModel

Never liked lowered trucks but the dude who k-swapped his first gen and drag races it looks better than this.


Twomorew33ks

Man, I can’t afford to fix my bumper but people got money for this 😂


abou824

This is batshit crazy... I love it. Hotrodders gotta adapt and this guy certainly has!


flightwatcher45

Could you really do this with all the sensors and whatnot around the tesla body?


BaileyD77

I don't love it, but I'm glad it exists.


LordJim_

Can you imagine pulling up to a race track with this


bearsdidit

Love it!


White-runner

This little thing absolutely rips guaranteed. Would be cool to take it for a 1 pedal spin.


Styx3791

Man-made horrors beyond our comprehension


LightningLeg

I think some people have way too much time and money. Nevertheless, it is entertaining.


propinadoble

TESOMA or TACOSLA


SomeGuy_GRM

I kinda want it, but also don't because the payload is probably dogshit.


Saluki2023

Odd


escott503

Ew.


K2thJ

Rather do that to my bug, never my taco. Cool though


ringoblues

Clown mobile


skyHawk3613

It’s cool, but I wouldn’t want to own it.


-M-A-G-1-C-

bad ass


NWOriginal00

This is what I wish Tesla would make. Basically a first gen Tacoma but electric.


coozu

I would kill for that thing


geegeeallin

I’m just not a fan of most gold cars.


Thick-Trust-5735

God no


Moderatedude9

Very cool, I initially was going to say I don't like lowered trucks but lowering this serves a good center of gravity purpose. Would've picked different wheels but it's nice

TheIntellectualType

Lowering a truck makes as much sense as asking the sky for another sausage bicycle


Michael_Threat

Low rider trucks are always stupid
