In a surprising twist, Tesla has unveiled a Cybertruck-inspired cat litter box made of cardboard, just in time for International Cats Day. The real Tesla Cybertruck, after a two-year delay, has finally rolled out from Giga Texas, four years post its initial announcement. This quirky feline accessory, mirroring the Cybertruck’s geometric design, offers a mini version of the vehicle for our furry companions. The cardboard structure of the litter box intriguingly rises in an edgy ascent, differing from the vehicle’s mountain peak-like slopes. For feline amusement, the sides of this unique litter box can tilt, potentially serving as a playful distraction. At its core, the box features thick corrugated paper, giving the illusion of a comfy carpet for cats to lounge on.
Tesla China, the mastermind behind this product, has labeled it as a DIY item, requiring owners to assemble it from a shipped giant cardboard. The pronounced slots and accompanying instructions suggest a straightforward assembly process. Ensuring durability, the Cybertruck litter box is crafted from moisture-proof thickened corrugated paper. Priced at 89 yuan (approximately 12 USD), this cardboard innovation can support up to 15 kilos. Some speculate that this cat litter box is a strategic move to generate buzz around the actual Cybertruck’s mass production.
The Tesla Life Cat Nest, retailing for around $12.38 USD, boasts a design inspired by the Cybertruck and can hold up to 15 kg. This product, while made of moisture-resistant corrugated paper, requires some assembly and is currently exclusive to China. Despite its Cybertruck inspiration, this pet accessory lacks any high-tech features, standing in stark contrast to Tesla’s usual offerings. The product’s availability on Tesla’s Chinese website confirms its legitimacy, despite initial beliefs of it being a mere jest. There’s ambiguity surrounding the product’s primary use, with some suggesting it’s a litter tray and others believing it’s a cat scratcher or bed.
