In a surprising twist, a Tesla Cybertruck prototype has been caught sporting a never-before-seen darker camouflage wrap, adding an intriguing touch to the already highly anticipated electric pickup truck.
Camouflaging vehicles before production is a common practice among automakers, concealing design elements and generating buzz around upcoming models. Historically, Tesla has strayed away from using extensive camouflage on its prototypes, opting for a more transparent approach with its prototypes closely resembling the final production versions. In contrast, other automakers often unveil early prototypes that undergo significant changes before hitting the assembly lines.
However, there have been recent exceptions to Tesla’s approach, notably with the introduction of camouflage on the refreshed Model 3, albeit in a manner different from the traditional auto industry norms.
Over the past few months, multiple Cybertruck prototypes wrapped in full camouflage have been spotted, hinting at Tesla’s efforts to keep the final design under wraps. One of these prototypes, recently shared on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum, reveals a strikingly darker and more effective camouflage wrap, seemingly aimed at concealing any design alterations that may have been implemented in the new release candidates currently in production.
Tesla’s announcement of building the first Cybertruck was met with excitement, but during the Q2 earnings release, the automaker clarified that they are currently focused on producing release candidates before commencing actual mass production.
The purpose behind these new wraps remains speculative. It’s plausible that Tesla intends to keep the final design of the Cybertruck hidden from prying eyes until the delivery event planned for the end of the quarter. Alternatively, Tesla might be exploring various camouflage options to offer customers a choice in appearance, especially considering the standard stainless steel color that has garnered much attention.
As the electric vehicle community eagerly awaits more updates on the Cybertruck’s development, it’s clear that Tesla continues to captivate enthusiasts with its innovative approach and unwavering commitment to revolutionizing the automotive landscape.
