That dash stood out to me as well. Would definitely want wood or leather or a darker matte metal.

- convolvatron 11mo agoI'm assuming that its stainless. it were were aggressive about it, it would take a patina for anything from grey to black. stainless also develops a really wide variety of colors if you heat treat it in an oven with good temperature control. there a bronze-like color that's nice, and also a blue. I'm amused to see that so many cybertrucks have been powder coated or wrapped in vinyl.
- rbanffy 11mo ago> I'm amused to see that so many cybertrucks have been powder coated or wrapped in vinyl. There are car enthusiasts and Cubertruck owners. There is little overlap between these two sets.
- mulmen 11mo agoI don’t understand. Vinyl wrapping cars is a normal thing for car people. What’s the difference?
- nine_k 11mo agoOne of the key design points of the Cyvertruck was that brutalist "slab of shiny steel" look. Apparently owners often want a bit more manicured looks.
- mulmen 11mo agoWhat makes you draw that conclusion? The wraps and powder coating can be observed but how can you infer intent? Which one is the “car person” and which one is just a Cybertruck owner? They both wrap their vehicles or get custom paintjobs. How can they be differentiated by vehicle appearance alone?
- Thorrez 11mo agoOr they want to be able to pick their car out more easily from other cybertrucks.
- mattclarkdotnet 11mo agoNormal in the USA maybe? It’s very unusual here in Australia to see a wrapped car.
- zeroq 11mo agoIn my part of EU it's actually pretty common, especially on exotic cars. I guess the main appeal is "paint protection". Seems redundant to me, but people do like to apply screen protectors to their phones, which is another thing I don't fully comprehend so you know...
- pcdoodle 11mo agoI like the obvious porsche 356 inspiration on this car. If the truck actually hit the 50K launch price, id also love to have one in the collection. But hey, make life easy by putting people into "buckets" so you feel like you have a grasp.
