Elon Musk has issued a car enthusiast who built a fully functioning Cybertruck out of wood a three-word response, while other social media users are hailing the unique creation as ‘superb’.
Since Tesla began delivering the Cybertruck to eager customers last November, the car hasn’t been out of the news.
From bursting into flames after hitting a fire hydrant to the majority being recalled due to major faults and one of the vehicles being modified into a monster truck - the stories have been endless.
Earlier this year, a YouTube channel made headlines when it documented the creation of a wooden Cybertruck.
ND-WoodArt, which has previously worked on whittling sports cars, motorbikes, and even a tank, was the mastermind behind the lumber car.
The DIY Cybertruck cost the content creator $15,000 to make and was erected after 100 days of hard work.
After unveiling the work of art in a 20-minute video, ND Wood-Art posted an open letter to Elon Musk on X.
In a post, the YouTuber wrote: "I am a passionate content creator with a deep love for wooden vehicles and a tremendous admiration for both you and Tesla. "Over the years, I've embarked on several wooden car projects to gain valuable experience.

"And today I launched a car that I am very impressed with, the Cybertruck. It is also the car that many of my audiences love and want me to build."
They added: "I am aware that Tesla has faced its share of challenges in bringing the Cybertruck to fruition.
“However, I maintain unwavering faith in your vision and the capabilities of Tesla. I am confident that this extraordinary vehicle will ultimately succeed.”
53-year-old Musk himself even replied to the carefully written request asking for a repost, saying: "Sure, much appreciated."
Many fans also took to social media to express their admiration for their work.
One user wrote: "That result is bad-ass. This has to be one of the best looking Cybertruck to ever hit the roads and I'd love for it to be prominently featured at Tesla's HQ".
Another typed: "Cant start to think about the insane amount of measurements that went into this project... This is sooo cool to watch and nothing short of superb."
A third remarked: "If you sold this thing as an entire puzzle, I would buy it. You guys make it look easy to build.”
“As a mechanical engineer, I have to say I'm impressed he got the pieces to fit together so beautifully,” commented someone else.
“I respect the insane amount of work he put into functional dimensioning to make that look easy.”
