Made Up Company Will Turn Your Made Up Truck Into A Made Up Boat
Made Up Company Will Turn Your Made Up Truck Into A Made Up Boat-July 2024

Despite the endless delays to Tesla’s Cybertruck, dedicated fans seem intent on creating accessories for the yet-to-be-released electric pickup. Now, a Seattle-based engineer has so reservation-holders can dream about sailing their made up trucks across made up lakes.

That’s right, a truck that hasn’t been officially seen on the roads since it was might soon hit the water. That’s if Seattle-based startup Cybercat is to be believed.

The firm, which was founded by UC Berkeley and Stanford University alumni , says it will create two accessory packs to transform your Cybertruck into a seafaring vehicle.

For upwards of 20,000 of your hard-earned U.S. dollars, Cybercat will promise to make you a pair of floatation devices that attach to either side of your truck. These are paired with up to five motors that strap to the back of the truck and power the craft when you set off in search of Atlantis.

The truck, which could weigh as much as 10,000 pounds whenever it finally rolls off the production line, will be capable of speeds around 22 knots (25 mph) when hooked up to the Cybercat.

Or if you opt for the even more outlandish Cybercat Foiler, which transforms your angular pickup into a floating hydrofoil, the firm promises speeds around 35 knots (40 mph).

Imagine how fast will have to move as it keeps up with 40 mph ocean spray!

Now, forgive my cynicism, but I can’t help but ask why?

The Tesla Cybertruck was first unveiled more than two years ago . The firm initially collected reservations for the truck, but soon stopped as to 2022.

Now, Musk has said that . So we will complete at least one more lap around the Sun before the truck reaches any of its .

So, an endlessly-delayed truck is obviously the perfect product to build your new business around, right?

This is a nifty idea, and one that if I had a truck and a spare 20 grand I’d genuinely be interested in seeing come to fruition.

But I just can’t get my head around why a host of new businesses have popped up around an electric truck that won’t be on the road for at least another 12 months. If ever.

, trailers and now boat modifications, all targeting a market of none. Surely even last year is a better target market than the zero Cybertruck owners that currently exist?

Or, even better, you could design your aquatic accessories for one of Tesla’s current lineup, or even . You know, cars that will soon or have already reached the masses.

One of the Pontiac Fiero's touted features was a plastic body that could be changed for another. Today's Fiero Mera has had its body switched for that of an italian, but is its price lira-cal? ASCII Art is imagery created from the 95 printable characters in the ASCII compliant character...

With Mercury moribund, not only does its slate of badge-engineered American cars fade into history, but also a series of Euro imports. That makes today's Merkur an orphan's orphan, and it's seeking a Daddy Warbucks. The Dutch wear wooden shoes. And heel and toe action in pine clogs is neigh-on...

They say the two certainties in life are death and taxes. While the latter comes annually, the former's arrival is usually a mystery. Today's Samurai could certainly speed that up however. Speed was on the minds of the 75% of you who voted Nice Price for yesterday's . As the...

It's a Porsche, it's a Volkswagen, It's a... If they ever make a movie out of Today's 914, Faye Dunaway could play the lead, and hopefully Jack Nicholson would driver her. Like today's candidate, yesterday's sported a mid-mounted engine. Unlike today's so fugly-it's-endearing original's body, that Mera attempted to strike...

Indecisive home invader, Goldilocks always settled on the middle choice, after having befouled the other two. Today's Maverick sits in that median, between Pinto and Mustang, but for Goldi, this one may be too hot. Today's candidate sports Ford's tried and true small block in its most ubiquitous displacement, 302...

As far as eternal struggles go, ranks right up there with good vs. evil and bong vs. blunt. DAF finally won that original fight, but will today's 66 trucklet extend the streak? Headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands, DAF has long been known for their commercial trucks, military vehicles, and the first...
