A popular Youtuber has replaced the tyres of a Tesla with 10-foot tall wagon wheels.

In a video posted to social media, Cody Detwiler, also known as WhistlinDiesel, managed to remove the manufacturer's generic Tesla wheels in favour of the giant novelty spokes.

With the wagon wheels lifting the car metres off the ground, Detwiler showed off how the Tesla could be driven over other regulation-height vehicles.

In the original video, Detwiler manages to back the wagon-wheeled Tesla over a Ferrari before driving the novelty vehicle down the back streets of a quiet Indiana suburb.

Using a crane, the 25-year-old Youtube star also managed to flip the vehicle upside down, driving it for several metres while inverted.

The Tesla stunt is the latest in Detwiler's online car-related antics. The Indiana, USA, local rose to prominence with his first rev-head videos posted in January 2015 when he was still a teenager. He has become well known for his large-scale stunts and vehicle destruction videos.
