While Tesla's Cybertruck was recently delayed until "hopefully next year," the hype around the electric pickup truck is so strong that some people are already working on third-party accessories for the vehicle.
Now, Cybercat, a Seattle-based startup, has developed an accessory kit that can quickly transform the Tesla Cybertruck into a high-performance all-electric amphibious catamaran. There is also a hydrofoil extension option to maximize speed and efficiency on the water.

The Cybercat Catamaran will be equipped with up to five kW outboard motors, for a total output of horsepower, which are intended to be powered by the Cybertruck 's battery pack . The Cybertruck's adaptive ride height and the Cybercat's foldable inflatable sidepods provide ″ of ground clearance. Once in the water, the electric outboard motors, pontoons and hydrofoils fold and the wheels re C Level Executive List tract out of the water for a quick takeoff. In shallow water or around docks, Cybercat can maneuver with precision powered by the rotation of the Cybertruck's wheels.
According to the company, the Cybercat will be able to reach a maximum speed of knots (more than mph) and a range of to miles depending on cruising speed; this is based on a Cybertruck with a range of over miles on land.
Installation or disassembly can be done by a single person in less time than it takes to launch a boat . All components fold or collapse into parts that can be easily stored in the Cybertruck vault, preserving EV range during transport.

Pricing for the kit, which is in the early stages of development, is estimated between $, and $,, depending on the number of outboard motors.
The Cybertruck was introduced in , and Tesla initially announced that it would hit the market in late Since its launch, the truck has encountered a series of delays on the way to production. Last month, Elon Musk indicated that due to supply chain issues, it would "hopefully" hit the market in

But that hasn't stopped the highly anticipated polygonal truck from inspiring new concepts down the road. In December , we reported on the Cybertruck-inspired CyberKAT, a remote-controlled miniature snowcat designed to help you clear snow in the dead of winter.
