The boy who made this computer car is called Wang Chao.

We met through an interview.

At that time, he had just graduated from Coventry University, majoring in automobile design. Because he doesn't want to work from nine to five, and loves to build cars by hand, Wang Chao stays at home every day, building cars in the garage and dreaming.

This is the design of his graduation thesis, a super sports car that looks a bit like a beetle:

After graduation, he spent nearly two years gambling on all resources and really turned his design drawings into real cars.

An iron welding accident made him almost blind, which was not easy.

The real car is several times more handsome than the photo. This car is not photogenic, and the photos simply don't reflect the complicated and advanced curve beauty.

Wang Chao is the Northeast Silver, so everyone named this car "Northeast pagani".

After that meeting, Wang Chao and I added WeChat.

We are all people who dream regardless of cost, and I especially admire his self-drive and super execution.

2. The idea came into being

After Northeast pagani, Wang Chao also modified various classic cars, such as this one.

What a wonderful rejuvenation!

However, the refitting has never been done, and Wang Chao wants to build another one.

Tesla just released Cybertruck.

The appearance of this pickup truck broke the cognition of traditional car design and made Wang Chao very excited.

He has challenged the ultimate "surface beauty" before, so he wants to try the innovative "plane beauty" this time.

So, I embarked on the road of no return to build Cybertruck.

Beauty of Curved Surface and Beauty of Plane

get to work

Knowing that I went to the scene to watch the Cybertruck conference, Wang Chao asked me to share with him the three views of pickup trucks taken at the scene, and he also found a pile of materials to support him.

10 days later, brother Chao put the frame up.

Then the steel plate ~

It turns out that Cybertruck used an ultra-thick steel plate of 3 mm, but the price of iron has risen recently, and it is too heavy. I wonder if the car body can hold up. In the end, Super Brother only used 2 mm steel plate.

Only by doing this can we know that the most difficult point in building this car is exactly what everyone thinks is the simplest point.

Cybertruck is flat. It turns out that keeping all the planes on one plane is the biggest challenge.

When the surface is polished, you won't see any big flaws.

But the plane is uneven and exposed.

From the point of view of repair science, repairing a flat car is also the most difficult.

When I finished 70%, I went to shoot this car.

It still looks like a big Lego, but it feels fake. . .

Wang Chao turned the car upside down day and night with a pimple on his forehead.

Before leaving, he said to me, "I don't have time to find a girlfriend behind closed doors every day." Can you introduce me to one? "
