Depending on who you talk to, the Tesla Cybertruck is either about to go into production or still years away. What’s not up for debate is that Tesla says it’s coming in one color, stainless steel. The only way to get a different color is to wrap it and that’s exactly what we’re getting a look at today.
This urban camo-wrapped Cybertruck is surely one of the pre-production units undergoing testing by Tesla itself. Perhaps it’s a good sign for production that the team is willingly spending time and energy wrapping a vehicle as opposed to utilizing those resources for something else.
This truck was spotted by a member of the CybertruckOwnersClub forum somewhere in Palo Alto and then just south of that in Mountain View, California, while Reddit user u/RamboTrucker also captured it on film. Palo Alto is the location of Tesla’s global engineering headquarters. That development is fairly recent but that clearly hasn’t stopped Tesla from bringing its next big thing to the area.

It’s worth noting that wrapping the Cybertruck looks like it’ll be pretty simple compared to most other vehicles. The flat expansive panels should be easier to work with than if they had complex curves. That, combined with the singular color available leads us to believe that many Cybertruck owners will follow this lead with wrap jobs of their own.
Of course, it’s plausible that Tesla itself might offer factory-wrap jobs when the Cybertruck does make it to production. Members of forum note that would effectively allow the company to make a bit more cash while also offering more customizability for its customer base.
Aside from simply wrapping this Cybertruck for publicity’s sake, there’s little reason to do this otherwise. For now, we’ll just have to wait to see what comes of it. Whenever the Cybertruck finally makes it to production that is.
