DIY Cybertruck lookalike built on Prius frame auctioned for charity

Utah resident Johnny Lange transformed a 2004 Toyota Prius into a Cybertruck-inspired parody police car called the "Cybercop" over four months, using steel tubing and aluminum panels attached with industrial tape and rivets. The project, completed in his Salt Lake Valley garage, features a brushed metal wrap, LED police-style lighting, "Space Patrol" decals, and a disclaimer stating it is not a real police vehicle.
