Tesla’s Cybertruck took another brutal hit when Lego stepped into the ring.
The toy company posted a rudimentary car made of stacked bricks and plastic wheels to the company’s Australian Facebook page on Monday. The image is similar to promotional images of the Cybertruck, Tesla’s thoroughly mocked first electric pickup truck.
CEO Elon Musk debuted the Cybertruck in Los Angeles last week, touting its “indestructible” design. As part of the demo, he had Tesla lead designer Franz von Holzhausen try to damage the truck with a sledgehammer on stage. The Cybertruck withstood the blows. But when Musk had von Holzhausen throw metal balls at the truck’s windows, it failed spectacularly.
To Tesla’s credit, the balls didn’t go all the way through the truck’s armored glass, but it certainly did shatter. The windows didn’t withstand a second test, either.
The windows on the Tesla #Cybertruck didn’t fare as well under a beating. “We’ll fix it in post,” Elon Musk jokes.

Lego’s version is “guaranteed shatterproof,” according to its Facebook post. Who needs windows, anyway!
Your move, Tesla.
