The hugely anticipated Tesla Roadster continues to be a work-in-progress for the EV automaker. And it has clearly started to get on people’s nerves. The high-performance EV sports car was supposed to be the first of its kind. But hypercar manufacturers like Rimac and Pininfarina have been quick to come up with their own world-beating electric cars.

Elon Musk did a great job in enticing the public by marketing the yet-to-be-produced all-electric Tesla sports car with its incredible range and insane performance and acceleration figures. But nothing turned to fruition and left many gutted. In fact, Tesla’s very own Model S Plaid’s sub-two-second 0-60 acceleration time is so breathtaking; it makes us wonder how much quicker the Roadster would be.

With no confirmed news of its launch date, customers are clueless. But what exactly happens when you’re an impatient Tesla Roadster customer? You end up building one yourself!

YouTuber Builds His Own Tesla Roadster

Cyber Hooligan, also known as David Andreyev on Instagram, is going all out and building his own Tesla Roadster. And this project of his is based on a Tesla Model 3. Before he starts off with his ‘Cyber Roadster’ build, he gets registration plates for it. He removes the original seats from the Model 3 and the flooring first. After he takes off the driver’s seat, he starts cutting the beams off that run through the flooring. He then makes some changes to the seat mechanism, so it won’t move up and down anymore.

After carving out a new roofline for the Cyber Roadster, he heads to a Tesla service center where he purchases a Tesla Model 3’s windshield for $762 (after tax). After bringing it home, he places it over the Roadster’s frame to see how it fits. And it turns out there are gaps on both sides; that’s how much wider the frame is. He also mentions that the roof will be fiberglass. It is important that the pillar skin meets with the front fender; he got close to finishing up the headlights in the bargain.

Andreyev then begins mapping out the bumper and sees how he’s about to mount it. After that, he gets working on the front bumper and then widening the fenders. For the time being, the headlight lenses for the roadster are glued on. He then puts the black centerpiece on, which joins both lights. We’re also given a sneak peek at the 9-watt Eagle Eye LED bulbs Andreyev will be using.

The hood is an aftermarket one that isn’t perfect, but it’s only there until he puts an original one on. He mentions that his vision is to make it look like a Tesla Cybertruck from the front. The fenders slowly begin to take shape, but everything still looks like a rough sketch at the moment.

Andreyev makes mention that the front bumper will be made of fiberglass only because of the autopilot sensors behind it. He then gives us a closer look at the sheet metal used for the fenders, also mentioning that he tried different bumper styles and the Cybertruck one wasn’t going to work. So he sourced a Tesla Model S front bumper instead. This will also help him save a lot of time.

Tesla Roadster Lookalike Has A Wide Body

After cleaning up the nose a bit, the shape of the Cyber Roadster starts to look great. It has a perfect coupe-like roofline and a wide front end, which gives it a sporty stance. Custom-made slats fill in the cut-outs on either side of the front bumper. The fenders finally get primer, giving them a smoother finish.

Now the A-pillars begin getting more attention because the OEM Model 3 windshield is about to be fitted on. Once that’s done with, he moves to the cyber tail light (sourced from a Lexus LX 600 SUV), which runs the width of the entire tail section. He then attaches the brake lights from a Tesla Model S on either side, giving it more width.

On the inside, a Tesla yoke is fitted. And the part that gets more exciting is when he is about to fit the snazzy glass roof on, but not until the entire framing work for it is complete. The rear quarter panel finally starts to shape up with the sheet metal being welded on. It gives the Cyber Roadster a ridiculously wide stance. Getting fixed onto the back is a 2022 Model S’s rear bumper, but not until later. There’s lots more that has to be finished on this Cyber Roadster.

The CyberRoadster is still a work in progress. But we couldn't wait from sharing this awesome garage project with you guys. The homemade Tesla Roadster is almost done, and make sure to keep a close eye on the Cyber Hooligan YouTube Channel for the final Tesla Model 3-based roadster.
