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-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:25

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.

For $5,200, Does This Old E30 Two Door Have You Feeling Blue?
As of this year's Detroit Auto Show the 3-series coupe is effectively no more in the US. Today's E30 represents one of the most beloved 3-series coupes, but is its price a coup de grâce? Holy cat sqeezin' Jebus, the vote on yesterday's old school couldn't have been closer. In...

For $13,500, Is This Corolla A Trueno Romance?
Today's AE86 is proof positive that the Toyota Corolla hasn't always been as dull as a kiss from your sister, but will this one's price dull your ardor? Let's break down yesterday's by the numbers - 5.0 engine; about 1,850 lbs, providing something like 8 lbs per pony to drag...

So, do you like the new Stingray? Or, do you miss round tail lights and the rest of the marque's classic lexicon? Well, if you do, today's '68 drop top should push all the right buttons, even if its price is Mako break it. Consider for a moment yesterday's -...

Strewn like Charlie Sheen's myriad coital conquests, the globe is filled with cars we in the states never get. Today's E100 Corolla is one of those that miraculously now happens to be available. Will its price however, turn off even Charlie? Have you ever seen the Aurora Borealis in person?...

Detroit is the most American of car shows, but one American car company that sadly won't be there is American Motors. To make up for that, today's AMC Rambler has plenty to show, but will its price make you want to ramble on? Toyota's bringing to Detroit a concept car...

Today's London Cab looks to be in fare condition, but will its price have you wanting to keep the meter running? They say a hard man is good to find - or at least the dyslexics do. Conversely, a good AE86 is seeming hard to find, and yesterday's apparently proved...
