Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla’s Chief Designer, was spotted driving a sleek, black-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck in Santa Monica. The event took place at the “Santa Monica Teslas & Coffee” gathering and has ignited speculation not only about von Holzhausen’s personal color preference but also the possibility of an upcoming factory wrap option for the highly anticipated Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck, known for its distinctive stainless steel exterior, has been a subject of fascination since its debut. The prospect of introducing a premium color wrap for this electric truck is an intriguing development, especially as the Cybertruck’s stainless steel surface is not conducive to traditional painting methods. Tesla has already successfully launched color wrap options for the Model 3 and Model Y, priced between $7,500 and $8,000, making it reasonable to assume that a similar offering for the Cybertruck could be on the horizon.

The move to introduce factory wraps could be a game-changer in terms of personalization for Cybertruck owners. The uniform stainless steel appearance has left some potential buyers desiring more choice in the color department, and this development could fulfill that desire.

However, questions remain about the timing of this potential factory wrap option. Some insiders suggest it could be made available a few months after the Cybertruck’s scheduled launch on November 30. With the vehicle’s unique design and larger surface area compared to the Model 3 and Model Y, the cost of wrapping the Cybertruck may surpass the current wrap prices, potentially reaching $10,000 or more.
One intriguing aspect to consider is the Cybertruck’s design. Its distinctive lines and angular features may present a challenge for the wrapping process, raising questions about how the wrap will conform to the vehicle’s unique contours.

In the meantime, the Cybertruck community is left to ponder their own preferences, contemplating which color they would choose to make their own statement with this iconic vehicle.
