WE BUILT OUR OWN TESLA CYBERQUAD AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles the ambitious DIY build of a Tesla Cyberquad, affectionately named 'Starscream,' by the creator. Starting with a Yamaha Raptor 700 as a base, the project involved a complete powertrain swap to electric, utilizing components from an electric motorcycle. The reviewer highlights the challenges of integrating the battery and motor into the existing frame, the decision to mount the motor on the swingarm despite unsprung weight concerns, and the aesthetic transformation to mimic the Tesla Cyberquad design using origami and ABS. Key performance metrics revealed impressive capabilities, including a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds with street tires and a top speed of 102 mph. The quad also demonstrated exceptional pulling power, managing to tow a 5,000-pound Humvee. Despite some initial setbacks with batteries and a noisy operation, the final build is praised for its performance, range (estimated full day of riding), and stealthy electric nature. The reviewer also touches on the unique Tesla owner dating site and promotes a raffle for a Tesla Model S/X/3/Y.
