Image Credit: Ginger BillyThe Tesla Cybertruck has drawn every kind of reaction, and South Carolina comedian Ginger Billy added his own. He built a parody of it and called the result the "Tesler Siber Truck." His YouTube video showing it off has pulled in millions of views.Ginger Billy started with a golf cart and built the Siber Truck up from there. He covered it in spray-painted metal sheets and bolted on a giant windshield to copy the Cybertruck's angular look. It has no side windows at all, a nod to the windows that cracked on stage during Tesla's 2019 reveal.The truck also has a safety and tech package to match. For an airbag, he taped a pillow to the steering wheel. Inside, he added a paper "digital dash". There's also a tablet-style screen to stand in for the real truck's electronics, which obviously can't drive the vehicle, but it's still funny to look at.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe video that Ginger Billy showed his "Tesler" off in finds him taking it off-road. It rolls across grass and dirt until the ride gets rougher than the bodywork can take, which doesn't really take a lot. Panels start coming loose, and the truck ends up stuck at the edge of a ditch, unsurprising for this kind of humorous build.How the Tesler Siber Truck Spoofs the Real CybertruckMost of the joke comes from the shape, if that wasn't immediately obvious. From the right angle, the Siber Truck reads as a Cybertruck right away. It even has the same profile and flat, panel-by-panel metal body. So you already know what it's supposed to be from a mile away.Billy takes it even further, though. He talks it up like a real product launch, walking through its features in the same earnest tone Tesla uses for its own reveals, and it all comes together in a hilarious way. The deadpan delivery does as much of the work as the truck does, too.Why the Cybertruck Parody is Still FunnyThe video keeps drawing views (and goingviral) because people love to hate on a Cybertruck. The real one already looks unusual enough on its own, so a copy built from spare parts doesn't have far to go. Ginger Billy leans into that, building something absurd that anyone would still take for the real thing.AdvertisementAdvertisementIt also helps that the Siber Truck actually drives. A static prop would have run out of laughs quickly, but a moving one can be tested on camera until it falls apart. That's the part a parked replica never could have delivered. And admit it -- you kind of want one, don't you?If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
