The "Cybervan" Spotted: A Tesla Cybertruck Knockoff That’s Actually a Van
by AutoExpert | 9 January, 2026
At a quick glance, it looks like a Tesla Cybertruck that took a wrong turn and gave up halfway through the mission. Sharp angles, bare metal, glowing light bar — all familiar. But this isn’t a Tesla, and it definitely isn’t official.
The strange steel van was spotted rolling through snowy U.S. streets, sticking out like a prop from a low-budget sci-fi movie. Someone clearly wanted that Cybertruck look and decided to apply it… to a cargo van.

The body is wrapped in flat, angular metal panels that try hard to channel Tesla’s edgy design language. There’s a nearly vertical windshield, aggressively shaped windows, black wheels, and that unmistakable full-width light bar up front. From the front, it almost sells the illusion.
Walk around back, though, and reality kicks in. Instead of a sleek tailgate, there’s a bulky roll-up cargo door — the kind you’d expect on a delivery van, not something pretending to be futuristic.

Underneath all the cosplay, it appears to be based on a small Chinese-built electric cargo van that already borrows heavily from Cybertruck styling. Whoever built this just leaned all the way in, swapping doors and panels to fully commit to the stainless-steel fantasy.
This doesn’t look like a joke build or a fan project. Logos on the side suggest it’s being used as a rolling business ad, which somehow makes it even more charming. Someone saw the most controversial vehicle design of the decade and thought, “Perfect. Let’s make it a van.”

It’s weird. It’s awkward. And it kind of works — even if it looks like the Cybertruck version that ran out of budget, patience, and sleep before the final draft.
