Tesla Model X Transformed into DeLorean Time Machine Replica
The Tesla Model X has been transformed into a replica of the iconic DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future movie franchise. The custom-wrapped, modified SUV, nicknamed the TCM-12X, features “falcon doors” that have been taped over to resemble the gullwing-doored DeLorean. The wrap, which doesn’t quite match the stainless steel of the original car, does a good job of conveying the idea of the DeLorean. The taillights have also been taped over and conjoined by a strip of black to give the car’s rear end a more DeLorean-like look.
Design Features
The TCM-12X features a number of little Easter eggs that pay homage to the DeLorean. The “TMC” badges at the front and rear replace the “DMC” badge that graced the DeLorean. The tailgate has a badge proudly pronouncing that the SUV is powered by a flux capacitor, which is a reference to the technobabble explanation for the time traveling device used in the film. The wheels are perhaps the most successful part of the design, as they make the Model X look more like a DeLorean while also looking really good on the SUV.
Build Process
The build process of the TCM-12X has been laid out in a number of Facebook posts from the page “Home of Nemesis, Madcat and more,” as well as on TikTok videos, where you can watch things like the wrap going on. Although one of the Facebook posts has a photo of a modified Model X with the full time machine on top, it’s unclear if this example will affix those add-ons to it. While some may feel like they’ve gone this far, so they might as well make the Model X more movie accurate, others think the Model X looks better without add-ons.
Conclusion
The TCM-12X is a custom-wrapped, modified movie-car-inspired SUV that is fun and pays homage to the iconic DeLorean time machine from the Back to the Future movie franchise. The design features little Easter eggs that pay homage to the DeLorean, and the wheels make the Model X look more like a DeLorean while also looking really good on the SUV.
