LEGO pokes fun at Elon Musk with its own version of the Tesla Cybertruck

If Tesla’s $40,000 Cybertruck is a bit out of your budget, LEGO has re-created the electric pickup truck in a much simpler and cheaper brick version.

LEGO Australia’s Facebook page posted its own version of the much-anticipated pickup truck that debuted last week in Los Angeles. Their version is one lego brick with four wheels attached to it, with the caption “The evolution of the truck is here. Guaranteed shatterproof.”

LEGO’s take on Tesla’s truck might have been based on the (many jokes) made on Twitter that compared the truck to a Lego since CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck.

LEGO’s post pokes fun at the truck’s futuristic styling that many people have been criticizing, as well as its “shatterproof” extra-strong glass, which broke during Thursday’s demonstration.

While not everyone has responded positively to the truck’s futuristic style, but overall, its specs are definitely impressive. The truck has seating for up to six, an onboard air compressor, a towing capacity of 14,000 pounds, a range between 250 to 500 miles depending on the model, and semi-autonomous technology. 

Tesla also claims the truck to be bulletproof (both in the body and the glass) and comes with adjustable ride height.

The Cybertruck will be Tesla’s first entry into the pickup truck segment. It only makes sense Tesla is launching a pickup truck model, seeing as how the bestselling vehicle in America is the Ford F-150.

Musk even showed how much more power the Cybertruck has compared to the Ford F-150 with a tug-of-war between the two vehicles during a Cybertruck event on Friday, November 22. In the video Musk tweeted, the Cybertruck was the clear winner as its seen dragging the F-150 uphill along the asphalt.

So while the LEGO Cybertruck might look like the actual thing in its boxiness appearance, the real truck can do more than just look like a toy.

Digital Trends reached out to Tesla for comment on LEGO’s version of the Cybertruck, and we’ll update this story if we hear back.

The Tesla Model Y is at its lowest price yet — but should you buy one?
Tesla Model Y

Despite increased competition in the space, the Tesla Model Y is still one of the best EVs out there. It has access to the best charging network, plus it offers among the best software experiences, as well as a solid range, especially in the longer-range models. And the Model Y is now down to its lowest price yet, meaning that if you were considering getting one, now is probably the time to buy.

The base price of the Tesla Model Y is down to $42,990 at the time of this writing, which represents a pretty huge price cut. That's before any tax incentives too -- and considering the car is eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit, that means you could get it for as low as $35,490.

Tesla’s fix for faulty Cybertruck pedal is simpler than you might think
Tesla Cybertruck

Less than five months after handing over the first Cybertrucks to customers, Tesla has had to recall the electric pickup to fix an issue with the accelerator.

In a notice issued on Friday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that the recall impacts Cybertruck vehicles manufactured from November 13, 2023, to April 4, 2024. This suggests that all -- or almost all -- of the 3,878 Cybertrucks being recalled are those that have been manufactured to date.
