The Tesla Cybertruck, now referred to as Tesla’s Cyber-F-150 due to its unique wrap, continues to draw attention as it is spotted in various locations in California. The vehicle has become a mystery among fans and enthusiasts, with speculations about the reasons behind this unusual design choice. Some believe Tesla’s penchant for doing things differently might be the motivation, while others think it could be a showcase of future vehicle wrap options for customers. Ultimately, the true reason remains unknown, and it might simply be a case of “just because.”
The Cyber-F-150 was first spotted earlier this week when images of the vehicle inside a garage emerged. The legitimacy of the images was first challenged by early admirers, but it became overwhelmingly obvious days later when the truck as spotted on the road.
While Cybertruck sightings are not necessarily a rarity in recent memory, this is a whole different animal.
The Cybertruck has been wrapped in various camouflage patterns for the past few months, but this camo pattern is unique, to say the least.
New images of the Cybertruck on a hauler in Livermore, California, located northeast of Fremont, where Tesla has a production facility, were posted today.
These new images give a unique perspective on the wrap and how realistic it actually appears to be. However, there is no denying that it looks interesting (or ridiculous) on the unique shape that Tesla brought to the table with its first all-electric pickup.
Tesla is likely using this unit for testing and validation around California, which it has been performing for some time, according to the Shareholder Deck, it released just 90 minutes before the Earnings Call that occurred last Wednesday.
However, Tesla has a unique strategy of stirring up buzz on its vehicles ahead of a production launch, which it still plans to initiate, along with first deliveries, before the end of the year.
