Right now, electric vehicles – despite being heralded as eco-saviors and although many have pitched the EV revolution time and again – are not dominant yet. But they might be in the near future so it's clear that this paradigm change will impact everyone.
The automotive industry is currently at another crossroads – a few years ago, everyone thought that all cars would be autonomous 5G-connected EVs by now. But that ship sailed away, and companies got the boot from customers when trying to impose a subscription for everything. Also, if you're not Tesla, there are many signs that the EV market is slowing down, and you need to rethink your ICE-powered (including hybrids and PHEV) options.
On the other hand, Tesla probably hopes that 2024 is the year its Model Y might become the world's best-selling nameplate after missing the mark by a whisker last year. Over at home in America, they are also more compelling than ever with the upcoming introduction of the high-performance version of the refreshed Model 3, the potential arrival of the facelifted Model Y, and the continued success of the Cybertruck.
Speaking of the latter, everyone and their mother wants one, even though it's still rather pricey because only the $79,990 AWD and $99,990 Cyberbeast models are currently available for delivery this year. Alas, another variant is coming soon – from 2025, customers can select the RWD version for $60,990, with a 250-mile range and a zero to 60-mph (96-kph) time of 6.5 seconds. But what if three models are not enough for customers?
What if people also want a true Cybertruck workhorse that's capable of carrying a big load to and from the construction site, not just a Cybertruck dressed with the latest aftermarket wrap and shod in the newest aftermarket forged wheels? No worries, the situation has already been taken care of, albeit solely across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators. More precisely, Sugar Chow, the virtual artist better known as sugardesign_1 on social media, has decided to present every worker's EV dream - a 'real' Cybertruck workhorse.
The pixel master has finally abandoned his recent Chinese vehicle spree and turned his CGI brush to something American – although this could also serve well the people who love calling pickup trucks 'bakkies' (South Africa) or Utes (Australia). In fact, it would serve well on any construction site worldwide because this down-to-earth Tesla Cybertruck is now transformed with a real truck chassis, dually rear wheels, and a tilting bed at the back. Oh, and the wheels are 'steelies,' plus the wings are black plastic bits, of course. So, do you think it would be a hit or a miss in the real world?
