For years, Elon Musk has been talking about the successor to the original Tesla Roadster. However, for the time being we do not see a sports car in the model range. The desire is there and so American YouTuber David Andreyev built one himself.
This Dutch Lamborghini Aventador used car previously proved that not every tinkering project is a success. Andreyev took a more thorough approach. And let’s be honest: the result is impressive.
From Tesla Model 3 to Tesla Roadster
As a basis, David Andreyev took a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance, which he bought as a damaged car. Over the past two years he converted it into the modern Tesla Roadster that Elon Musk has promised us so often.

He recorded the entire process and shared it on his YouTube channel Cyber Hooligan. Due to its technical basis, this electric supercar (as we can now call the converted Model 3) has more than 500 hp and 660 Nm of torque.

We don’t have to explain to you that a lot has happened to this car. Not only is the roofline lower and it is now a two-door coupe, but the self-built Tesla Roadster is also no less than 2.08 meters wide. So it stands out quite a bit, especially in its Candy Apple Red paint.
Tesla Model S Plaid as the next project
Below you can see the reactions Andreyev received during his first test run with the Tesla in its final form. A next project is already planned. The crafting king plans to give a Tesla Model S Plain a similar makeover.
Elon Musk’s Tesla Roadster: The DIY Version You Didn’t Know You Needed
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the tech world, it’s that when someone says “hold my beer,” you’re usually looking at a bonkers project. Enter David Andreyev, a Dutch YouTuber who decided to pick up the baton where Elon Musk dropped it after waving his hands about a new Tesla Roadster—promising it like it was an overdue delivery from Amazon Prime.
From the Model 3 to a Sports Car: A Transformation to Remember
Our protagonist, Andreyev, reportedly picked up a damaged 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance—which sounds remarkably like something Elon would claim is a step towards Mars colonization. Over two years, he turned that less-than-perfect piece of machinery into a modern-day Roadster. And let’s face it—if someone can make a car look that good while treating it like an IKEA playground set, kudos to him! The results would give even the ‘Before and After’ trends on social media a run for their money.
“It’s an electric supercar, more than 500 hp, with a torque that could confuse an Australian in the outback about whether the ‘roos or the car are faster!”
Design Decisions: It’s Not Just About Power
Now, point of contention—why did Mr. DIY decide to make it 2.08 meters wide? Perhaps he thought it would be a fantastic surprise for all the narrow parking spaces around the world. And let’s not even get started on the Candy Apple Red paint job; it screams “Look at me!” louder than a midlife crisis at a car show. But if you’re going to go big, you might as well paint it red, right? It’s the automotive equivalent of wearing a glitter suit to a wedding.
All Good Things Must Scrap—What’s Next for Our Hero?
After conquering the DIY Tesla world, Andreyev is already looking at his next challenge. Can you guess? No? It’s a Tesla Model S Plaid makeover! That’s right, because why settle for one over-the-top electric vehicle when you can have two? At this rate, he should just move into a factory and become Elon Musk’s sidekick!
So, if you’re not ready to pick up a soldering iron and a set of wrenches just yet, fear not! You can watch Andreyev document all the chaos on his YouTube channel, Cyber Hooligan. Because who doesn’t want a front-row seat to the greatest show that turbocharged Tinkerbell could put on?
“Remember, folks: if at first you don’t succeed, call it an experimental prototype!”
Conclusion: Tech, Humor, and the Future of Driving
In a world where we’re still waiting for Elon Musk to deliver on his promise of a new Roadster, David Andreyev reminds us that sometimes the best things come from unexpected places—like your mate’s garage. So, the next time you hear someone bemoaning the lack of a Tesla Roadster, just point them in the direction of Cyber Hooligan, where dreams of electric supercars come to life (and sometimes go hilariously wrong). Who knew DIY could be this entertaining?
Now, prepare to hold your breath and witness the rolling of the dice on whether Andreyev’s next project will shine or end up on a ‘fail’ compilation. But isn’t that what makes life—and YouTube—so captivating? Cheers to a brighter, wackier, and (hopefully) wider electric future!
For years, Elon Musk has been discussing a successor to the original Tesla Roadster, yet enthusiasts are left waiting as the model remains absent from Tesla’s lineup. Recognizing this void in the market, American YouTuber David Andreyev took matters into his own hands and constructed his very own sports car, embodying the essence of what fans have anticipated.
In a striking contrast to a previous amateur attempt involving a Dutch Lamborghini Aventador, which highlighted the challenges of car customization, Andreyev applied a meticulous methodology to his project. The results of his labor? Unquestionably impressive, showcasing his dedication and skill.
From Tesla Model 3 to Tesla Roadster
For his ambitious project, David Andreyev chose a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance as the foundation, acquired in a damaged state. Over an intensive two-year period, he transformed this vehicle into a stunning rendition of the modern Tesla Roadster that has been long-promised by Elon Musk.
He meticulously documented the entire conversion process, sharing insights and progress updates on his YouTube channel Cyber Hooligan. Thanks to its performance-oriented modifications, this electric supercar now boasts over 500 horsepower and an impressive 660 Nm of torque, solidifying its status as a formidable contender in the realm of high-performance vehicles.
The transformation was nothing short of remarkable. The redesigned car features a significantly lower roofline, has been turned into a sleek two-door coupe, and now measures an eye-catching 2.08 meters in width. Its striking Candy Apple Red paint job ensures it stands out prominently on the road.
Tesla Model S Plaid as the next project
Below, you can explore the enthusiastic reactions that Andreyev garnered during his exhilarating first test run with the completed Tesla. Already fueled by his recent success, the talented craftsman has plans for his next project: a substantial makeover for a Tesla Model S Plaid, promising to deliver yet another awe-inspiring automotive creation.
Sing the potential of DIY ingenuity in the automotive world.
