You can do a lot of things with the Tesla Cybertruck, but you can't tow it behind your ebike to sleep in on "bike-packing" trips. You can, however, do exactly that with the Cybertruck-inspired Cyberdrop trailer – or at least you will be able to, once it reaches production.
Although the designer has named this creation as an homage to the Tesla Cybertruck, I’m not really seeing any comparison other than the boxy shape and the gadgetry. Don’t get me wrong: this is a very nice build. But it seems to me that it’d be more impressive to portray this as the latest evolution of bikecamping trailers, because of its features beyond aesthetic.
For example, the powered third trailer wheel to reduce tongue weight on the bike. A powered roof vent. A solar panel*.
I posit to you that the substance of this custom build is on the same order as Xyla Foxlin’s custom, hand-built camper done to her specifications for how she envisioned her adventures. Here, the designer has done exactly the same, and may even commercialize the design to allow others to achieve the same joy. The Cybertruck aesthetics are just scratching the surface, and I think the article’s headline is selling it a bit short.
Comparing something to the Cybertruck seems like more of an insult than an homage haha
