It's designed to withstand the toughest environments — whether you want to live in the middle of LA or the surface of Mars. While only renders of the futuristic shelter exist so far, Lars Buro [reassured *CNET*]() that it plans to build the thing eventually. ![]() *All images courtesy of Lars Buro* ## Parking in Style The structure — a compelling visual analogue for Tesla's [recently announced Cybertruck]() — covers 600 square feet for vehicles and other equipment. That's enough space to fit "trucks that don’t fit in standard garages," according to the company's site — likely a reference to [Tesla enthusiasts' worry]() that the gigantic electric pickup won't fit in their garages. ![]() ## Moon Unit An additional 1,800 square feet can be used for commercial use, or a James Bond villain-style abode. Lars Buro claims it can withstand extreme weather thanks to its aerodynamic shape and reinforced armored windows, which hopefully won't [shatter as easily]() as the Cybertruck's. You can even install an air lock on it in case you want to construct one, let's say, on the Moon. ![]() ## Sun Roof Solar panels on the roof feed into a battery system, making the structure self-sustaining. It's still unclear when it will be made available and how much it will cost. **READ MORE:** [Tesla Cybertruck gets its own dwelling with the Cybunker -- yes, it's real]() \[*CNET*\] **More on Cybertruck:** *[Tesla Cybertruck Goes Amphibious in Hilarious Fan-Made Video]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
