In this fascinating instance, a prominent YouTuber compares his DIY electric Hummer to the Tesla Cybertruck. The latter is among the most popular electric pickup trucks in the world. It was anticipated since 2019 but was launched only in December 2023, much to the disappointment of many. However, now that it is officially here, the automobile experts have been reviewing it with innovative techniques. On the other hand, the vlogger constructed this electric Hummer in his garage using components from other vehicles. It would be fair to say that this DIY job is bare basic. Still, let us compare the two.

Furthermore, the Cybertruck can charge using a 350 kW DC fast charger with 800V architecture, while the make-shift electric Hummer can just do 8 kW AC charging with 450V architecture. The Cybertruck also has a frunk which the Humvee doesn’t. Also, Cybertruck has a 48V system, whereas the DIY Hummer has a 12V system. Both these SUVs technically have 4WD. Finally, due to the all-wheel-steering, the turning radius of the Cybertruck is tighter than the Hummer.
