Elon Musk’s “Armored Personel Carrier From the Future” – a 10-Wheeled Cybertruck Cyberlander on the Way

Elon Musk’s dream for the Cybertruck was to create a vehicle that looked like “an armored personnel carrier from the future.” This new Cybertruck build looks to fulfill Musk’s aspiration, complete with ten wheels and an extended cabin.

Before Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck’s design back in 2019, Elon Musk gave us several hints as to what kind of truck Tesla engineers were cooking up behind the scenes.

Despite Musk’s several hints, it’s now fair to say no one expected the Cybertruck to look like the final design Tesla showed off.

Even though we couldn’t anticipate what the Cybertruck would look like, one of the most memorable hints Musk gave us about the Cybertruck’s design was that the vehicle “looks like an armored personnel carrier from the future.”

When Tesla finally took the wraps off the Cybertruck, most would agree that Musk’s characterization of the Cybertruck’s design was spot on.

With its stainless steel exterior, triangular silhouette, and bulletproof exoskeleton, the Cybertruck looks as much like an armored personnel carrier as any civilian vehicle.

Although not everyone’s cup of tea, those of us looking for something fresh in the automotive world were ecstatic about the Cybertruck’s design.

However, what if you are that rare person who saw the Cybertruck’s design and thought Tesla should have gone further with the Cybertruck’s looks?

If you are that person, first of all, you are wild; second, your dream has been answered as there is an ongoing third-party Cybertruck build that takes the Cybertruck’s design to the next level.

This exciting Cybertruck build is from the Diesel brothers—Heavy D and Diesel Dave. If you have been following their YouTube channel and X posts, the Diesel brothers are already responsible for two of the most exciting Cybertruck third-party modifications.

In the Cybertruck realm, the Diesel brothers already have the first Cybertruck with snow tracks and the official Mars-ready Cybertruck that Elon Musk shared on X under their belts.

As it sounds, for the Cybertruck build with snow tracks, the Diesel Brothers replaced the all-terrain tires that come standard with all Cybertrucks and put in snow tracks.

This might seem simple; however, to fit the snow track where the tires used to be, the Diesel Brothers had to make several changes to the Cybertruck’s suspension.

The Cybertruck with snow tires is exciting; however, the Diesel Brothers’ second Cybertruck build is their most famous yet.

The CyberRail is the official Mars-ready Cybertruck build. For this Cybertruck build, the Diesel brothers went all out, fitting the truck with new tires, wheels, coil-over suspension, gigantic roof-mounted lights, an exterior wrap with a SpaceX decal, and so on.

This particular Cybertruck has made the rounds all over the internet, even getting featured on Tesla’s official @Cybertruck page and reposted by Elon Musk.

So far, all the Diesel Brothers’ Cybertruck modifications have been exciting; however, their upcoming Cybertruck build might be their most exciting yet.

This Cybertruck modification has yet to materialize, as Dave Sparks is still gathering feedback from the community before embarking on the CyberLander build.

Through his X account, Dave provided four possible designs for his next Cybertruck build. In a nutshell, the CyberLander build aims to add a campsite to the Cybertruck.

The first two concepts add a simple metal canopy over the Cybertruck bed. Besides going with a collapsable tent, this is the easiest and most sensible way to add permanent camping gear to the Cybertruck.

However, we are excited about the other two concepts Dave is considering. In one of them, the Diesel Brothers want to add two more wheels to the Cybertruck and make it a six-wheeler.

The renderings show the Cybertruck with a much larger metal canopy, complete with side doors, windows, and a glass roof. This Cybertruck build makes the vehicle appear more like an RV than a truck.

This Cybertruck concept is undoubtedly exciting, and we hope it can materialize in real life.

However, if you think a six-wheeled Cybertruck is cool, how about a Cybertruck with an additional six wheels to the already four, for a total of 10-wheeled Cybertruck?

This Cybertruck build maintains the truck’s triangular silhouette and adds a metal canopy with six additional wheels and multiple windows, doubling the truck’s length.

Looking at the rendering, the CyberLander is the closest design to Elon Musk’s “armored vehicle from the future” aspirations.

The rendering seems less like something we might see in real life and appears more like a computer-generated image from a futuristic movie or military game.

As he embarks on this exciting Cybertruck build, Dave has asked Tesla’s Chief Designer, Franz von Holzhausen, for input.

Below the renderings of the Cybertruck concepts, Dave tagged the Tesla designer simply writing, “Let’s hear your input.”

Unfortunately, Franz has yet to respond, and we’re still waiting for his expert opinion on which route the Diesel Brothers should take with their CyberLander build. However, we’ll keep you posted if we hear from the Tesla designer.

For now, this is all the information we have; however, we’ll keep you posted if Franz responds with any suggestions and as the Diesel Brothers embark on this exciting Cybertruck build.
