Fact Check: AI-generated image shows Cybertruck-like Soviet vehicle from 1930
Claim: A photo authentically shows a 1930 Russian or Soviet "Tarantaika," also known as "Boneshaker." Rating: A rumor circulating online in May 2025 claimed a photo authentically showed a 1930 Russian or Soviet vehicle called "Tarantaika," or "Boneshaker." For example, users shared this rumor with the caption "1930 Russian/Soviet 'Tarantaika' (Boneshaker)" on Bluesky, Facebook (archived), Instagram (archived) and X (archived). Some commenters under various posts mentioned the alleged vehicle's striking visible similarities to the Tesla Cybertruck. (Image courtesy of Bluesky Fanatic/Bluesky) However, the picture did not show a Russian "Tarantaika" or "Boneshaker." A user created the image — a fake — with an artificial-intelligence (AI) tool. Snopes found no evidence that a Russian vehicle known by those names ever existed. In October 2024, Snopes examined the same fake image in another fact check, back when users captioned the photo as allegedly showing a "fully restored 1875 chuckwagon." We traced the roots of the picture to Facebook user Joshohoho, who told us he created the image with the generative-AI platform Midjourney. The user first posted the picture in the Crazed AI and Cursed AI groups on June 24, saying it showed a "Tesla Cybertruck Frontier Edition." They later reposted the image in the Midjourney Official group on June 28 with the caption, "Tesla Cybertruck: Oregon Trail edition." Searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo and Google failed to locate any information about a historic vehicle with the name "Tarantaika." A search for "Boneshaker" found a stock image of a "Bone-shaker" bicycle from France dating back to 1869, displayed at a March 2011 exhibition in Moscow, Russia, according to the Shutterstock image-licensing website. For further reading, a previous fact check examined a photo allegedly showing a crash involving two Tesla Cybertrucks. Anokhin, Nikita. "Moscow March 25 Bike Bone-Shaker France Stock Photo 74604073."
