LEGO Mocks Tesla’s New Cybertruck By Introducing Their Own Shatterproof Version

I never had LEGO as a kid but boy, was I excited to play with them at a friend’s house. Sure, my nails were non-existent because it was hard to detach smaller pieces and I was left scarred after stepping on some of them, but it was extremely fun regardless.

Well, people continue to have fun with them to this day, so much that even LEGO themselves decided to have some fun with it. Elon Musk recently unveiled his Tesla Cybertruck. Not only has the truck’s design called out a sea of hilarious memes, but during the live demonstration, the truck’s so-called “shatterproof glass” actually broke by a simple throw of a metal ball.

LEGO took a jab at Tesla on both fronts, tackling the ridiculous look of the truck and showing what actual shatterproofing is. They constructed their own Cybertruck design and posted it on their Facebook page.

In a nutshell, LEGO took two wheel pieces and slapped them on a large 4×2 brick. Then they took a picture, photoshopped it in the style of the official Cybertruck photos and viola! Gold. The photo caption read “The evolution of the truck is here. Guaranteed shatterproof ”

And it does look shatterproof! Have you ever stepped on a LEGO brick? Your foot will break faster than the brick itself!

Here’s the trailer for the Tesla Cybertruck

Despite the odd look and the glass fail during the live demo, Tesla’s Cybertruck has turned out to be quite a success. At the moment, it has reached 200,000 pre-orders since its unveiling just a week ago, on 21 November, 2019. Elon Musk also highlighted in a tweet “With no advertising & no paid endorsement.”

The Cybertruck isn’t all bad, with people who pre-ordered saying that the specifications are impressive: it is corrosion resistant, 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds, adjustable air suspensions, 250 mile per charge, and it runs on electricity alone. Sure, the glass shattered but in most other cars, it would have fallen apart whereas the Cybertruck had its windows intact after the live test.
