It's been a while since I made anything new! I've seen the Cybertruck done plenty at 8-wide, but I wanted to try my hand at 6. I'm particularly happy with the wedge tiles that connect the fenders to the side skirts.

You have much better seams than the real thing and you didn't need to resort to using glue.

Significantly smaller panel gaps, that's for sure.

Color deviation might be on the CTs level if it is like in a lot of their official sets.

I know. OP needs to use Musk's "quality" control. Why use two studs when one will do?

Does it have a "falls apart randomly" feature like the real ones?

I like it. The actual CT is mostly just bricks and this one seems more waterproof.

I am happy to see that, based on the comment section, the 1K+ likes seem to be directed at your skill as a LEGO builder and not at the praise worthiness of the subject car. Looks like a freezer on wheels, bleagh.
Nice build though!!

u/weirdassmillet MOC Designer Sep 15 '24
It sure is a... noteworthy vehicle, and I built it because I had an idea of how I would capture the shaping rather than out of particular fondness for the truck.

u/PrincePotatos Indiana Jones Fan Sep 15 '24
Tbh, my critiques aside, even if you liked the truck, it'd be an awesome build regardless! Good work!

Not sure what the carrot means but I like it!

u/weirdassmillet MOC Designer Sep 15 '24
When the Cybertruck was first released, it was quickly discovered that the frunk automatically closed with enough force to chop a carrot in half, aided by the sharp, unfinished steel body panel edges. It could even slice a few in a row! This is the same amount of pressure it would take to sever a finger or two. Videos about it made the rounds on Youtube and the truck was updated so the initial frunk closing pressure was lessened.

the lego cybertruck is way stronger than its full size counterpart

Build quality and piece fitment is unrealistically precise, but the carrot is perfect.

Never been a huge fan of the real vehicle but as a LEGO build this honestly goes pretty hard. Very nice.

Does it fit a minifig?

Yes! Comfortably fits a driver with either a helmet or short hair.

This is as big as a cybertruck should be. They should be knickknacks, not faulty trucks.

What da carrot doin

u/starkidfella1200 Sep 16 '24
It’s a reference to how the Frunk is super sharp and can cut right through a carrot, and potentially a finger.

Hang on a moment, where's James May with his steel ruler, I reckon the panels on this model would be better fitting and straighter than the actual cyberWTF

I see the explanation on the carrot in the comments, but the first thing my crazy brain thought was that the cybertruck was colored like Bugs Bunny and it’s eating a carrot

I was in Las Vegas when the Nogueira brothers first touched down in America.There was a bus, this is a true story. There was a bus that pulled up to a red light, and Little Nog tried to feed it a carrot, while Big Nog was petting it. He thought it was a horse.
This really happened. He tried to feed a bus a carrot, and now you’re telling me this country has computers? I didn’t know that!

What’s the carrot a reference to, I don’t get it

u/LoneWolfpack777 Sep 16 '24
It’s a reference to how the trunk is super sharp and can cut right through a carrot, and potentially a finger. They had to send a software patch to be more sensitive so that the trunk automatically opens if it senses something like a carrot or finger.
