Tesla’s playful jab at Ford continues as a Cybertruck disguised as an F-150 gets ready to hit the streets. Recently, a sighting of the Cybertruck wrapped as an F-150 piqued curiosity among enthusiasts. Tesla’s unconventional approach to testing and validation involves putting prototypes and near-final builds on the road, a strategy that sets it apart from traditional carmakers.
While Cybertruck testing and validation are ongoing, Tesla’s F-150-wrapped Cybertruck is generating more excitement and anticipation as it approaches production and delivery, nearly four years after its initial unveiling. This move is sure to draw more attention to the all-electric pickup as it vies for its place in the market against its gas-powered rivals.
Tesla wanted the Cybertruck to be different, and a quick glance shows that it is far from any ordinary pickup that is currently available out there. However, the company and its CEO Elon Musk have always been known to do things uniquely, and this includes throwing shade at rival car companies by undermining their product or poking fun at their designs.
We know Tesla was set on breaking the mold of the traditional pickup design, so it is comical that they would dress the Cybertruck up as something as popular as the F-150.
While it is obviously a bit of a troll job by Musk and the company, it also could be a great opportunity to display the company’s wraps, which Tesla has said will be available in any color or pattern.
