Surprisingly the Tesla Cybertruck Mini produced using the Model Y template works.

Sunday, July 31, 2022 | Chimniii Desk
The concept of a prospective "Cybertruck Mini" is still in the works, despite Tesla's confirmation that the Cybertruck's design has already been finalised. Due in part to Elon Musk's earlier remarks. After all, the CEO has previously acknowledged numerous times that a smaller model of the all-electric pickup truck is not completely out of the question.

Days after the Cybertruck's initial introduction in 2019, Musk stated that it will probably make sense "to create a smaller Cybertruck" in the long run. This is so that the massive all-electric vehicle can compete in the American pickup market. The Cybertruck might be simply too big in other regions, like Europe and Asia.

Musk even considered shrinking the size of the vehicle by about 3% at one time, but the CEO said in May 2020 that even a slight reduction like that would make the Cybertruck "too small." Musk repeated that Tesla would "probably make a smaller, tight world truck at some point," though, on Twitter at the time. Analyst Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research discussed such a car earlier this year when he suggested that a "Cybertruck Mini" might be between 15 and 20 percent smaller.

An engineer and Tesla devotee named @escape ferocity has created a rendering of such a car. The supporter of electric vehicles offered a fairly intriguing interpretation of the "Cybertruck Mini," utilising the Model Y as a model. The Tesla supporter and engineer pointed out that his idea would really make the construction of the "Cybertruck Mini" rather straightforward as the vehicle shares fundamental similarities with the Model Y.

A manufactured body that was modelled after the Cybertruck is included in the "Cybertruck Mini" concept. Additionally, the design of the concept eliminates compound curves, eliminating the need for stretch forming. The "Cybertruck Mini" concept's clever features, such movable second-row seats that can extend the bed to eight feet, make it versatile and practical for industrial duties.

The electric vehicle community has generally embraced the "Cybertruck Mini" concept. While some EV aficionados had criticised the Model Y-inspired Cybertruck's design and general appearance as being unattractive, few could contest that such a vehicle does have a number of advantages. After all, there is a market for smaller pickup trucks, so such a vehicle, particularly one constructed on Tesla's most economical platform, would surely have a good chance in the marketplace.
