In this step‑by‑step tutorial, Samuel Fabayo walks viewers through creating a replica of Tesla’s Model 3 landing‑page hero section and top navigation using the open‑source design tool Penpot. He begins by signing into Penpot, creating a new project and configuring a 1366 × 768 artboard. He then imports pre‑downloaded Tesla assets (car images, icons, fonts) and sets up the workspace panels (layers, assets, toolbar, configuration). The tutorial covers typography choices (using Inter as a free alternative to SF Pro), precise text sizing, weight, letter‑spacing, and alignment to match the original site. Samuel demonstrates building the “Order Now” and “Learn More” buttons with Penpot’s flex (auto) layout, adjusting padding, fixed width, and rounded corners. He creates a small accordion‑style “Switch to Performance” control, again using flex layout for alignment and spacing. The next segment designs the top navigation bar, adding the Tesla logo, menu items (Vehicle, Energy, Charging, Discover, Shop) and utility icons, all organized with flex layouts and consistent spacing. He then constructs the expanded navigation drawer that shows vehicle‑specific details, replicating the layout for Model Y, Model 3, and Cybertruck, adding background states, side menus, and blur effects. Finally, Samuel sets up prototype interactions: linking screens with dissolve animations, adjusting easing and duration, and using mouse‑enter triggers for hover‑activated nav. He notes Penpot’s lack of Smart Animate, compares it to Figma, and comments on performance quirks. The video ends with a call‑to‑action for a Figma version, likes, and subscription.
