In Berezniki (Perm region), local enthusiasts have created a "Russian Cybertruck" - an all-terrain vehicle for hunting and off-road driving, compared by users to the Tesla Cybertruck.
Four car enthusiast friends worked on the project: Evgeny Cheremikhin, Vladimir Votinov, Anton Kuznetsov, and Andrey Vakhrushev. It took two and a half years to assemble - the work was carried out as a hobby between main activities.
The car is designed for traveling through hunting grounds, especially during the slush season. It is assembled from parts of different cars (Suzuki, UAZ, Gazelle, Renault), wheels and glass were additionally purchased, and an automatic transmission was installed. The result is a reliable "swamp buggy" that has already been used as technical support in off-road races.
Evgeny notes that the only thing that connects the car to Tesla is the battery. The car's buoyancy has not yet been tested, as the customer was concerned about its safety.
After the successful launch of the project, there is already a new order for a more comfortable version with air conditioning, which they promise to assemble in a year.
