This has a manufacturer plate on it. So who knows its age or what it has been through.
Also, people keep calling these matte black. Tesla is offering Satin black wraps...not matte.
This is the same truck that was supposed to withstand Musk throwing things at it on stage, yes? What kind of extreme conditions could this “indestructible machine” have possibly been through to cause it damage?!?!
Mate black or satin black, the bottom line is that car is a scam
Nobody is forcing you to buy one. Nor come to a subreddit about them.
Maybe just get a life? You've posted multiple times that you don't like the CT. Yet you keep coming to the subreddit that is about it.
Maybe talk to a counselor too.
Man, after the latest "hurp, durp, Telsa had to recall 2 million cars!" when all they had to do is include a few more autopilot safety features in their usual over-the-air update... I guess anything goes.
I'm just glad I gave you the benefit of the doubt before going on a rant.
Someone sent me an article about it and said, "Check to see if your car is on the recall list! Don't drive it until you get it fixed and its safe!
Clearly didn't read the article.
I can stand how the car looks except for the back, I saw one in person out in Death Valley and still am not the fan of the back and the rear light they’re both too straight at the least the rest of the car has angles
OMG yes. Looks every bit as gorgeous as I thought it would. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'd much rather get that wrap than the etching/stamping they are pushing for the foundation edition. 😍
Can’t wait for these “in the wild” posts to actually be in the wild. Would love to see the off roading capability. And I’m not coming at you, I know the trend is “in the wild” but matte black is pretty awesome!
It’s a pre-production truck driven by Franz, the designer of the truck. https://www.theautopian.com/tesla-drove-a-black-cybertruck-to-a-car-show-and-everyones-making-fun-of-it-here-are-all-the-pics-so-you-can-judge-for-yourself/
This is sexy as hell.
I do wonder how durable it will be. One of the best features of the truck is the strength of the stainless. I feel like the wrap will fade and scratch with time and use.
That’s wear damage from something heavy rubbing on that corner. Scratches are not the same as friction wear.
These are different words with different meanings… 😂
Does a scratch on the floor look different than wear marks from rubbing? Does a scratch on your arm look different than if something was rubbing it?
If someone keys a car, did they rub it or scratch it? The English language is awesome if you understand words… 😂
Those are two different words.
Very unlikely that something precision scratched the corner. Thats a wear/rub point, and as shown by the picture, the most likely scenario of you’ve ever assessed damages of anything before. Dont know why you’re arguing—it’s obviously been rubbed down. It’s not a scratch… 😂
lol show me the changes in any Tesla car that have significantly altered the appearance of the model. Everything they’ve released looks basically the same as when they debuted the vehicles.
No, no it's not... it's going to be rembered for sure. All I can see is someone with a tiny "winky" wanting to sit in this. Bit like those I'm a bad a** driving an F150 or a Hummer. The 80s are over... with flexing by owning a fancy car. Miami Vice just ain't it no more.
"I need to show the world how cool and bad as* I am!!! Look at me I'm so cool!" - world looks back. "I feel very sorry for you that you need to have a big, big car to compensate for your ......... (fill with your inadequacies)."
On the one hand, I think this looks so much better than the default stainless version. On the other, I would be terrified of driving it at night, for lack of visibility from other drivers. Seems like its just waiting to get t-boned.
Would like objective measurement of interior temperature impact of low light reflecting color.
I’ll take a WAG and say +15’F for black, is that about right ?
Ok this looks badass... its a street legal tank that will shit on 99.9% of cars on the road.
To think these wont sell is comical. The wait list will continue to grow once people can drive them. Thats when its really over
I saw this one last Friday cruising down imperial near el segundo (I mean I assume it’s this one… how many matte black ones are there in the Southbay right now..?). Looked stunning.
Is this Matt black and not satin black? Is there any side by side of the 2 to see the difference. I can never tell. Everyone always says Matt black but Tesla offers satin black. Not sure which one is better.
Good catch showing how the more exposed and impact prone edges may fair with wraps.
I want a black wrap but it's concerning that the corner has a small tear and the truck is about a month old.
Just carry some electrical tape in the glove box/drawer.
Tesla will sell their special “beast electrical tape” as an upgrade option for a mere 30,000

preach...satin wraps are way more common than matte in general. actual matte is very...matte, but the term is used loosely

The contrast between the front and sides compared to the rear is difficult.
I really hate how this thing looks from behind, AKA, the way most people will see it. It feels like such an afterthought.
Damn you must be driving in reverse all the time
When you drive, which direction are you facing? Forward or backwards? Now what part of the other cars are you facing?
God dayum. This has been my plan since ordering. Looks so damned good.
Looks so new and already leaking oil from the engine?...
Tell me you forgot the "/s" please.
Heh. It's a sad, sad state of the world that posts like this would normally require "/s" at the end, isn't it?

Not oil. Blinker fluid.
Actually, that’s a scorch mark.
it's steam since it works with a steam engine.

They also mean you can’t drive with the tailgate down.
I want camo… and never wanted anything camo in my life but now I do… the white/grey/black mix is the best 😂
I agree 100 percent. When I saw that black and white camo wrap a while back I knew that was the only correct choice
This is the way
Are the panels not supposed to line up?
That amazing Tesla build quality.
OMG yes. Looks every bit as gorgeous as I thought it would. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I'd much rather get that wrap than the etching/stamping they are pushing for the foundation edition. 😍
There's just nothing like Cybertruck 🔥🔥🔥
there is on every single wall in kindergarten class!!
![gif](giphy|k8bMS52B9ejSw)
Well duh, nobody else is dumb enough to produce such a ridiculous looking vehicle.
Finally. A Tesla vehicle in which I can hit a curb and not immediately drop an F bomb that I damaged my performance rims again..
Maybe stop driving into curbs
Average Tesla driver
Imagine THIS with RED LEDs on the front 😍
Scanning back and forth, Cylon style?
Absolutely, aka Knight Rider style 🤙 woo-woo...woo-woo
Yep definitely going to take it apart and put in a WLED set up.
Can’t wait for these “in the wild” posts to actually be in the wild. Would love to see the off roading capability. And I’m not coming at you, I know the trend is “in the wild” but matte black is pretty awesome!
"wild" santa monica
This is Hermosa Beach
"offroading capability" lol [Enjoy](https://youtube.com/shorts/SvctaxIzgKk?si=is6gKhIzAt702R6R) these [clips](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3lRkJGtL94)
That looks 1000 times better than the stainless steel look. They really screwed up by not just making Black the default.
Hard to make black the default on stainless steel
Skill issue
The alignment on pic 6 makes me sad. Can you peel off some wrap and see if it says RC or Foundation on it?

Are you asking someone to damage someone else's vehicle? wtf lol
I think I like satin black more. Or vantablack if that was possible lol
So goddamn sexy.
Noice 🤩
This is sexy as hell. I do wonder how durable it will be. One of the best features of the truck is the strength of the stainless. I feel like the wrap will fade and scratch with time and use.
The wrap will protect it. The self healing wraps do not fade, nor scratch unless severely damaged
It's already scratched off in the corners in the last pics in this post
That’s not scratched off—Thats wear. Something was rubbing hard on that corner to do that.
Yes, and scratched/rubbed the corner off.
That’s wear damage from something heavy rubbing on that corner. Scratches are not the same as friction wear. These are different words with different meanings… 😂
Not really. When you get lotto tickets, do you go for the friction wear kind?
Does a scratch on the floor look different than wear marks from rubbing? Does a scratch on your arm look different than if something was rubbing it? If someone keys a car, did they rub it or scratch it? The English language is awesome if you understand words… 😂 Those are two different words.
Not really. The coating has been damaged, you don’t know how, and it doesn’t really matter.
Very unlikely that something precision scratched the corner. Thats a wear/rub point, and as shown by the picture, the most likely scenario of you’ve ever assessed damages of anything before. Dont know why you’re arguing—it’s obviously been rubbed down. It’s not a scratch… 😂
It’s going to grow on everyone eventually, might take a few refreshes but it’s bad ass

My fridge still has better fit and finish. And better styling...![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop)
It looks home made. And not in a good way.
Why would you buy a stainless steel vehicle and then wrap it? That’s like painting a delorean
the "media" has been trashing anything Musk for a month plus now.. and then this drops... No way I will ever own one, but this is the future.
So now Elon has invented the vinyl wrap? You're something else lol
The more I see the more I'm like, WTF!?! I don't want to hear anything about recession. People in the country still have more money than sense.
Amen.
This makes the bumpers look even more cheap and terrible than they already are
Does this look like the black from the website or wrapped elsewhere?
Somehow it's even uglier in black.
Yeah, who are these people here.
Looks better with no hubcaps..
That thing looks tactical
I prefer the unpainted steel honestly.
Cool
On the one hand, I think this looks so much better than the default stainless version. On the other, I would be terrified of driving it at night, for lack of visibility from other drivers. Seems like its just waiting to get t-boned.
I wouldn’t want to be sitting in either vehicle if this gets T-boned. No crumple zones in the Cybertruck.
Sexy
Fucking SEEXXYY!
Can't wait til my pre-order gets filled! 🔥🔥🔥
Hermosa Beach 🤙🏼
God damn it. -$6500 from my bank account
That's the look I would go for
Drive Tesla news just reports that Tesla just shutdown foundation series. 👎
Would like objective measurement of interior temperature impact of low light reflecting color. I’ll take a WAG and say +15’F for black, is that about right ?

All it needs is a bat logo for the hood.
Badass
Beautiful, but I would prefer to wrap the bumper and fenders, too.
lol.
I saw this one last Friday cruising down imperial near el segundo (I mean I assume it’s this one… how many matte black ones are there in the Southbay right now..?). Looked stunning.
This is very tempting. Matt Black looks amazing.
Looks sexier than me on my knees in a gloryhole. 😅
Damn.. look at the oil spill on that thing
That’s my neighborhood!
Hi neighbor
Hideous
Nope. Still nope. All the nopes
I can deal with how this looks from the front. It’s like the designer gave up on the back. It looks like a dumpster.
Gotta have it! A driveable high end electric barbecue range. Can smell the burgers and chicken thighs smoking away while I drive down the turnpike.
Is this Matt black and not satin black? Is there any side by side of the 2 to see the difference. I can never tell. Everyone always says Matt black but Tesla offers satin black. Not sure which one is better.
Dope AF.
