Russian YouTubers making a fake Tesla Cybertruck feels so on-brand for 2019 that it couldn't possibly be true. And, yet, here we are.

In the above video, a group of Russians called "Pushka Garazh" create their own version of the Cybertruck out of a Lada (a Russian brand of car). If you want to skip ahead to the good stuff, scroll to about 40 minutes in for shots of the fake Cybertruck in action.

The deliriously ridiculous results feel like a drunken mash-up of Top Gear and Mythbusters with a healthy dose of Jackass thrown in for good measure.

Watching the group tear around in the fake Cybertruck, you get the sense the entire vehicle is going to come apart at any moment, which also feels pretty on-brand for 2019.
