A one-of-one Tesla Cybertruck transformation designed, engineered and assembled in Dubai has been sold to a customer in the United States and flown to Florida. Named CyberFalcon, the vehicle was built by DEIZ Garage over five and a half months: two months of development, six weeks of component production, and two months of assembly and final integration. The new owner specified a full bespoke interior retrim but chose to keep the exterior exactly as built, including its Arabic calligraphy, its UAE identity, and the line printed across its front and rear: Born in Dubai. Forged by DEIZ Garage. The specification reads more like expedition equipment than styling. It includes heavy-duty steel front and rear bumpers, lightweight tubular steel off-road doors, wide fenders, a seven-piece Rigid LED lighting package, 22-inch forged wheels and a two-inch suspension lift. The installation is primarily mechanical and reversible, with no body cutting, and every factory camera and sensor remains in place. Materials are steel, aluminium and automotive ABS plastic, chosen for durability and repairability.“I do not want DEIZ to remain only a Dubai automotive service business,” said Boris Pustovoytov, Founder and CEO of DEIZ. “The next stage is to create products here in Dubai and sell them internationally.”Dubai’s automotive sector is large, but it is predominantly a market for selling, servicing and modifying vehicles made elsewhere. A project designed and built in the UAE and exported to a foreign buyer reverses that flow. The group is expanding on that basis. DEIZ Motors, launched in August 2026, curates collectible classics, hypercars and limited-edition vehicles for an international clientele. DEIZ Design, launching in December 2026, will develop and produce automotive components in Dubai for sale worldwide. About DEIZDEIZ is a Dubai-based automotive group founded in 2022, employing more than 90 people across DEIZ Garage, DEIZ Motors and DEIZ Design. The group specialises in performance engineering, custom vehicle projects and the curation of collectible cars.
