A 2004 Toyota Prius, reborn as a Tesla Cybertruck-inspired police car spoof called the “Cybercop,” fetched $4,550 at a charity auction on eBay, with all proceeds going to support families of fallen officers. Crafted by Johnny Lange, a Utah gearhead who hauls specialty vehicles for a living, this wild creation is half bonkers, half brilliant—a rolling testament to DIY grit and car-world humor.
Lange started with a humble second-gen Prius, the kind of car you’d spot quietly saving gas in a grocery store lot. He tore off its bumpers, hood, and anything else that screamed “ordinary,” turning it into a blank slate. Then came the magic: he welded square steel tubing to mimic the Cybertruck’s sharp, angular look and slapped on flat aluminum panels with rivets and double-sided tape to build a boxy, stainless-steel-style shell. It’s a Prius, but it’s got the attitude of something much tougher.

The Cybercop’s look is all-in on its cop-car parody vibe. Skinny LED strips stand in for headlights and taillights, giving it a futuristic edge. Black alloy wheels add a touch of menace, and a brushed metal wrap makes it look like Tesla’s raw steel beast. Roof strobes and extra LEDs crank up the police flair, while a tiny push bar up front is so goofy it’s perfect.
Underneath the crazy exterior, it’s still a Prius at heart. The 1.5-liter four-cylinder and electric motor combo churns out a modest 76 horsepower, plus a little electric kick, sipping fuel like the eco-champ it’s always been. It’s not chasing down speed demons, but it’ll cruise forever on a tank. Inside, you’ve got the same old Prius dashboard and seats, which feels almost surreal against the bonkers outside. Lange’s creation is proof you can dream big with a welder and a wild idea.
