Fake Tesla Cybertruck from China, courtesy Dongfeng

The Dongfeng EV is said to be based on a skateboard EV platform, with claims of having up to 1,305 BHP.

The first copycat version of Tesla's Cybertruck has been unveiled in China.

Chinese carmaker Dongfeng has unveiled its take on the Cybertruck at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show. The copycat pick-up truck takes inspiration from the original in terms of the overall look and design.

However, unlike the original Cybertruck, the Dongfeng EV features slightly rounded edges and isn't made up of a stainless steel exterior. Other design details include an LED light bar at the front, an illuminated logo, a rugged-looking skid plate, aerodynamic wheel covers, suicide rear doors, power-retractable side steps and mud-terrain tyres. The Dongfeng EV even has a tent that extends out from the flatbed.

Inside, the Cybertruck copycat comes with a square-shaped steering wheel and displays that span the entire width of the dashboard.
