YouTuber Simone Giertz is known as the queen of "s**ty robots," the kind of robots that make a mess of chopping vegetables, serving soup, cutting hair, writing holiday cards, and putting on lipstick. Her inventions are clever, the robots intentionally excessive and comically inept. Hilarity ensues; Giertz curses, to the chagrin of her advertisers. But she keeps churning out machines as well as videos, exploring a variety of building projects in her San Francisco workshop—even as she battles a brain tumor. Which makes Giertz’s newest project even more remarkable—and functional. It marks a kind of turning point for Giertz, who says she’d like to focus more on building cars, and not the bad kind. Last summer, she revealed an electric pickup truck she calls Truckla. It’s a heavily modified Tesla Model 3 and, as Giertz’s stylized promotional video states, it’s available exactly nowhere. While only Giertz drives it, it is indeed drivable. She published a 31-minute video detailing exactly how she built it.
