Cybertruck in my art - I ordered my Tesla truck on 10/13/21 and then I made this sculpture. Goat skin with retro-futurist tribute to cave art and cybertruck profile. It is mounted on fibreglass rebar and tied with leather and carbon fiber on steel frame. May be too much, oh well that's art. thanks for you comments.

p.s. my estimated delivery of tuck is June 6, 2026 Hyker Richard LaRiviere
