The Exciting Journey of Rebuilding the Tesla Cyberquad
Rich Rebuilds is a well-known figure in the automotive world, particularly on YouTube, where he thrives on purchasing inexpensively priced and imperfect vehicles. He documents the tumultuous yet fascinating journey of rebuilding them. Among various projects, he has successfully restored a hurricane-damaged Tesla Model S, a wrecked Model 3, and some dubious Audis. However, his passion for electric vehicles, particularly Tesla, shines through as he co-founded an independent Tesla mechanic service.
What is the Tesla Cyberquad?
The Cyberquad exists primarily as a concept, first showcased during the debut of the Cybertruck. Beyond that initial appearance, details have remained scarce. It appears to have been a prop, implying the kind of electric powersports equipment that could be transported by a Cybertruck. As Tesla focuses on its core operations, it seems a new production line for these vehicles is not on the immediate horizon.
The Building Process
Rich Rebuilds discovered that the Cyberquad was based on a Yamaha Raptor 700. Utilizing readily available components, the project involved sourcing a suitable motor (from a damaged Zero electric motorcycle) and integrating it into the frame. Sounds simple, right? Yet, it’s never just about technical parts; it’s a captivating journey filled with adventure, obstacles, failures, and ultimately, redemption.
Conclusion: The Finished Product
Viewers can witness how Rich navigates challenges on his path to achieving Cyberquad greatness. The finished tribute to the Cyberquad offers not only excitement but also substantial speed, boasting capabilities of up to 102 mph. However, testing revealed potential for unexpected thrills, highlighting its exhilarating nature. This Cyberquad represents a creative homage to the future of electric vehicles—one that is both fun and thrilling.
