have anticipated this when he set about creating the \u2018CyberRoadster\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The genesis of the idea was that he wasn\u2019t much of a fan of the Cybertruck\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p>But he saw potential there, so decided to do some experimenting.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the chassis of an old Model 3, he stripped the Cybertruck down to its core and placed the parts on his own custom Tesla.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/supercarblondie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/CyberRoadster.webp\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\" data-lightbox=\"198810\" data-title=\"Cyber Hooligan\" rel=\"nofollow

it utilizes the Cybertruck\u2019s bar lights front and back.<\/p>\n<p>The Cybertruck\u2019s presence is subtle but present in the CyberRoadster\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n<p>This Tesla was causing a stir in Los Angeles<\/p>\n<p>In one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d5HOdu2Snn4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\">video<\/a>, Andreyev showcased what it was like to cruise through the Golden State\u2019s prime boulevards.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the public got to really take in the sight of the CyberRoadster in all its glory.<\/p>\n<p>And when we say this car was a distraction, we mean it \u2013 one cyclist even crashed into a garbage can because he was so distracted.<\/p>\n<p><a

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\">had his own idea about what element of the car was particularly attention-grabbing.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And that was the paint work. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s Candy Apple Red, it\u2019s 12 layers of paint,\u201d he explained in a clip\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hvpmrARMl1w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" style=\"color: #0074ff;\">uploaded<\/a>\u00a0to YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>We will concede that it\u2019s a very nice shade of paint.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the only time we\u2019ve seen someone do something totally different with a Tesla <\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing you can say for the following custom cars, it\u2019s that they\u2019re creative endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not you\u2019ll like them will depend on how much of a Tesla purist you are.<\/p>\n<p>One Californian did something extraordinary when <a
