Why Did Tesla Create This?
Tesla is no stranger to pushing boundaries, and they’ve built a reputation for creating quirky, limited-edition products. Think along the lines of flamethrowers, burnt hair, Cyber Steins, and even Cyber Beer—each more unconventional than the last. These items often have a playful twist, directly tying back to Elon Musk or the Tesla brand itself.
The CyberHammer is no different. This product draws inspiration from a striking moment in 2019 when Tesla’s head of design, Franz von Holzhausen, took a sledgehammer to the Cybertruck during its highly anticipated debut. The truck’s indestructible exterior didn’t even flinch. However, when Franz tossed a metal ball at the truck’s windows, the glass shattered, creating an unforgettable moment that went viral.
To celebrate this iconic incident, Tesla introduced the CyberHammer—complete with Franz’s autograph—marking the brand’s bold, irreverent spirit and commemorating that unforgettable moment in Cybertruck history.
