This Tesla Cybertruck PC Can Run Games That the Actual Tesla Cybertruck Was Meant to Play

While Tesla’s aspiration for customers to enjoy high-end games like Cyberpunk 2077 from their vehicles hasn’t fully come to fruition, it remains technically feasible to game in a Cybertruck. In a recent video, YouTuber Taki Udon introduces a scale model of the Cybertruck that is equipped with a gaming PC. Despite its small dimensions, this setup boasts impressive capabilities.

This gaming system, known as the “Xyber XPC,” operates by pressing down on the frunk, which compresses the suspension of the mini truck and activates its headlights and taillights. Though I’m not particularly keen on RGB lighting, I find this feature appealing. A panel located on the rear bumper neatly hides all the connection ports, including a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, and allows users to open the doors and extend a tailgate ramp.

Inside this setup is an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS CPU, typically used in laptops, paired with integrated Radeon 780M graphics. It features 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1TB M.2 SSD. To access these components, Taki had to unscrew and detach the magnesium top shell from the “skateboard” chassis, revealing how the Cybertruck’s wheelbase is slightly extended to accommodate the lengthy motherboard.

Both the RAM and storage can be replaced, although Taki points out that opening up the device frequently is not advisable due to its cumbersome design. The internal fans are notably loud during performance tests, especially when running the benchmark for Final Fantasy XV. Taki managed to reduce the system’s power consumption from 54W to 30W, which helped it operate approximately 40°C cooler and reduced noise levels without impacting performance—an aspect likely aided by the Cybertruck’s substantial ground clearance designed for off-road use.

This setup performs impressively, as Taki points out that the GPU is the same model used in Asus’ ROG Ally, a well-regarded Windows gaming handheld. He connects the system to a wireless monitor—capable of attaching Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons—and dives into gaming with titles like Marvel’s Spider-Man at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second.

Provided it remains stable on the table, this miniature Cybertruck proves to be a capable device for running contemporary games at decent framerates. It should handle various older console and arcade emulators well, which is what I mostly use for PC gaming. Although a small Cybertruck is unnecessary for this purpose, like its full-sized counterpart, this PC exists more due to its potential than practicality. Xyber has commenced production based on its Indiegogo page, but pricing details have yet to be revealed.
