Fact Check: Is the 'Tarantaika' a Real 1930s Russian Vehicle?

A viral photo claiming to show a 1930 Russian or Soviet vehicle called 'Tarantaika' or 'Boneshaker' has been proven to be fake. The image, which drew comparisons to Tesla's Cybertruck, was created using an AI tool. Snopes investigated the claim and found no evidence of such a vehicle ever existing historically. The same fake image was previously circulated with a different backstory, claiming it showed a 'fully restored 1875 chuckwagon.' The creator of the image, a Facebook user, admitted to generating it using the Midjourney AI platform.
