In a remarkable fusion of technology and gastronomy, innovators in Northern New Jersey have converted two Tesla Cybertrucks into mobile pizza ovens, setting a pioneering culinary trend.
Fabio Antonio Arbelaez has ingeniously transformed these electric vehicles to meet the soaring demand for his unique thin-crust pizzas, New York Post reported.
At the helm of this innovative venture is Fabio Antonio Arbelaez, associated with the Columbia Inn Restaurant in Montville. He has repurposed the robust electric capabilities of Tesla Cybertrucks to enhance his culinary business. They have equipped each of these trucks with mobile two-tier ovens capable of producing fresh pizzas in just about two minutes.
The electric ovens installed in the Cybertrucks are potent, reaching temperatures of up to 600 degrees. They can swiftly turn out fresh, not frozen, handcrafted pizzas, capturing the essence of fast food directly served with gourmet quality.
Arbelaez's innovative modifications include a custom-built slide for the mobile ovens, enabling easy access from the back of the Cybertrucks. This feature simplifies the cooking process remarkably, allowing them to prepare and serve pizzas swiftly at local events and public gatherings.
The dual-stacked roasters in each truck, powered by a 240-volt outlet fitted in the vehicle's cargo bed, have dramatically transformed these electric trucks into efficient mobile cooking stations.
The introduction of these high-tech mobile pizzerias has garnered immense public attention and curiosity across New Jersey and New York City. Whether parked at events like Somerset County’s Hamilton Farm Golf Club or roaming the streets, these Cybertrucks deliver a futuristic twist on pizza delivery.
Amidst the surprises and praises from the public, Arbelaez shared, “People are shocked enough to see a Cybertruck in public, and then they’re even more blown away by the pizza.” Indeed, the novelty of the Cybertrucks combined with the delight of quickly served, delicious pizza creates an unforgettable experience for customers.
Despite their unusual appearance, which Arbelaez humorously compared to a 'dumpster', it is their efficiency and performance that stands out. “She’s ugly, but she gets it done like nobody’s business,” he added.
Each Cybertruck is not only a hub for crafting up to 120 pizzas per hour but also features impressive battery endurance. They can operate their ovens for eight continuous hours and still drive an additional 50 miles, even after substantially using the battery power.
Looking ahead, Arbelaez is enthusiastic about further advancing the technological integration of his fleet. He plans to enable these trucks to deliver pizzas autonomously, stating, “The goal with the Cybertrucks is eventually to have them deliver without a driver.”
Arbelaez playfully remarked that while customers might still need to "get up off your couch to get them," the convenience of having a fresh pizza delivered to one's doorstep by a driverless vehicle offers a glimpse into the future of food delivery, reinforced by automation and innovation.
This unique initiative not only highlights the versatility of electric vehicles but also sets a precedent for future innovations in mobile food services and sustainable practices. By transforming Tesla Cybertrucks into mobile kitchens, Arbelaez has effectively bridged high technology with traditional pizza making, offering an eco-friendly solution that captivates and caters to modern appetites.
With its debut as a first-of-its-kind mobile pizzeria in America, Arbelaez’s project pushes the boundaries of what food trucks can achieve. The integration of clean energy vehicles with high-efficiency food preparation facilities points towards an exciting, greener direction for the food service industry.
As these Cybertrucks continue to serve up delectable pizzas with efficiency and flair, they are not only a testament to innovation but also to the endless possibilities of integrating technology with everyday life.
