As soon as he appears, he is the most beautiful boy in the whole street...
Cruz Graham, an 11-year-old New Zealand schoolboy, built a "Tesla" by himself!
Although it is a simple version, it is quite full of functions and runs very smoothly.
Poke this to watch the video
The boy received an electric scooter when he was 7 years old.
As a result, he felt that he was running too slowly, so he planned to build one himself.
He started this project in 2020, mainly through tutorials online.
Dad also helped in the process, but mainly to help carry very heavy planks.
He equipped the car with a radio, speakers, fans, headlights, lane change lights, and even had his own license plate.
Most of the materials are second-hand or removed from some waste electrical appliances.
Cruz Graham's mother said the boy was a very creative kid from an early age.
"He prefers tools such as batteries, screwdrivers, wires, kits, etc. to other children who like toys..."
He now drives out once a day, of course, mainly in the park, and can't get on the road.
I have to say that this hands-on ability has been cultivated since childhood, and it is really too strong.
Recently, Tesla's New Zealand division also happened to see his story.
They sent the 11-year-old a gift: Tesla (model of course...). ）。
Tesla New Zealand wrote: "See your awesome invention and thank you for your efforts to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy."
"If you're in Auckland, we'd love to take you for a ride on a Tesla."
Cruz said he thinks both tesla S and X models are cool.
If he had the chance, he wanted to try the upcoming Tesla Sports car, "Musk has claimed that it will be the fastest car ever built, capable of completing 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just over a second. ”
His next project was a large convertible, which was no mean feat, but he wanted to try it.
At the same time, he was taking flight lessons.
He wants to learn to be a pilot in the future, just like his grandfather.
