Tyler Fever's sliced-down 1988 Ford Festiva electric conversion attracted wide mainstream automotive press attention, with Yahoo Autos detailing how he drove the cartoonishly narrow vehicle through downtown Nashville.
Popular Science highlighted the build, noting Fever used lasers to halve a Festiva's width, swapped in a dirt-bike electric motor, and even got the resulting vehicle fully insured and street-legal.
The Nashville-based creator was featured on the WGN-TV morning show, underscoring the crossover mainstream-media attention his self-taught engineering projects are attracting.

Tyler Fever is a Nashville, Tennessee-based self-taught builder who documents his journey through hands-on engineering without a formal degree under the Propdepartment handle. Across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, he constructs extreme vehicles, custom props, robots, and mechanical contraptions — capturing the design, fabrication, and testing process in a build-along documentary style. His signature project, "The Thinnest Street Legal Car," typifies his approach: a conceptually audacious premise executed through real metal fabrication, laser welding, and laser cutting, with every step shown for an audience that wants to understand the process, not just admire the outcome.
The Propdepartment audience is overwhelmingly male and skews older than most DIY creators, with a strong concentration among viewers aged 35 and above — suggesting a base of hands-on hobbyists, tradespeople, and engineering enthusiasts rather than casual browsers. Sponsor partnerships reinforce this positioning: 3D scanning brand Revopoint and metal parts service SendCutSend speak directly to working fabricators, while integrations with AG1 and Whatnot signal growing commercial range beyond the tools category. With engagement running well above category norms and accelerating Instagram growth, Tyler Fever is building a durable, technically credible foothold in the maker and fabrication content space — an increasingly attractive lane for tool, hardware, and technology brands.
Propdepartment reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Tools / Maker Tech, Entertainment / Media, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include Whatnot and Incogni Inc.. Engagement on YouTube runs around 3.3%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

The creator behind Propdepartment goes by Tyler Fever, which he uses consistently across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. His channel name, Propdepartment, reflects his focus on building props, extreme vehicles, and robots rather than serving as his personal name.
Yes — one of his most prominent YouTube videos is titled "I Built the THINNEST Street Legal Car," documenting the full fabrication process from concept to road-legal finish. He followed it up with a behind-the-scenes breakdown titled "How I built the thin car!" showing the metal fab, laser welding, and laser cutting work involved.
No — and that's a core part of his brand identity. Tyler Fever explicitly describes himself as "learning engineering with no degree" across every platform bio. The self-taught angle makes his extreme vehicle and robot builds feel accessible to viewers who also lack formal training but want to learn hands-on skills.
Content from Tyler Fever's channel includes both the #jackassmovie and #paramountpartner hashtags, indicating a sponsored partnership tied to a Jackass film release through Paramount. Given his extreme-build and stunt-adjacent content style, the collaboration was a natural creative fit.
The claim is grounded in real materials science — high-grade permanent magnets like neodymium lose their magnetism extremely slowly under normal conditions, and projecting that out to 80% strength by the year 3025 is a legitimate extrapolation. Tyler Fever packages the concept in his signature "aspiring mad scientist" style to make otherwise dry engineering content genuinely entertaining.
SendCutSend is an online custom metal and material cutting service that sponsored Tyler Fever's YouTube channel in late 2025. It's a direct fit for his audience — viewers who want to replicate his metal fabrication builds can upload a design and get precision-cut parts shipped to them without needing their own CNC or laser cutter.
Tyler Fever regularly uses laser welding, laser cutting, and general metal fabrication in his projects, with xTool equipment appearing prominently in his content hashtags. He has also worked with Revopoint 3D as a sponsor, suggesting 3D scanning is part of his design and prototyping workflow for complex custom parts.
Confirmed YouTube sponsors as of mid-2026 include Whatnot, Incogni, Revopoint 3D, AG1, and SendCutSend. His engagement runs well above the category average for his tier, which makes him a strong match for brands targeting the DIY, maker, and engineering communities.
Tyler Fever is based in Nashville, Tennessee, which he lists in both his Instagram and TikTok bios. The hashtag #hartsvilletn also appears in his content, suggesting he films or sources materials in the broader Middle Tennessee area as well.
Tyler Fever is active on YouTube as his primary platform, along with Instagram and TikTok, all under the handle @propdepartment.
