Unlike the Cybertruck that gave it its distinctive front fender and its cringey name, the "CyberRoadster," vlogger David Andreyev — better known by his handle, "[Cyber Hooligan]()" — gave his version a shiny red paint job that is, at very least, better looking than the dull metallic silver of the OG. https://www.twitter.com/cyber_hooligan_/status/1904036083119317056 While it luckily manages to look nothing like a Cybertruck, it has some serious Dodge Charger vibes — and even if a Charger is less flagrantly annoying these days than a Cybertruck, it's still as basic as the [cop favorite cruiser](). After [nearly three years of work]() that included at least one scrapped [bubblegum pink]() paint job, [Andreyev finally unveiled]() his final product a few months back. Since then, the self-styled Cyber Hooligan has been relishing the attention he gets driving around Los Angeles in his flashy and freakish car. ## Looky-Loos In his latest video, which appears to have been shot entirely in and around malls and shopping centers, onlookers crane their necks, take photos, and even run into things when trying to get a better look at the CyberRoadster. It's unclear, however, if they're marveling in pleasure or, like us, are appalled by the angular creation before their eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5HOdu2Snn4 On the [r/TeslaLounge Subreddit](), one user suggested that the onlooker reactions we see in Cyber Hooligan's videos are legit. "He’s in my area and I’ve seen it roll through our outdoor mall," the [user wrote]() of the "gorgeous" CyberRoadster. "The crowd it draws is crazy, looks like really nothing else, he did a great job." "I love it," [another declared]() — before, hilariously, admitting that they also love "Grand Theft Auto." Love it or hate it, Andreyev's Franken-car certainly is eye-catching — and it probably doesn't [draw as much ire]() as an OG Cybertruck would, either. **More on Tesla:** [*Wait, Why Is the Cybertruck Held Together With Glue?*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
