We’re nonetheless within the early days of the Tesla Cybertruck. I’ve seen two within the wild. Paradoxically, they have been Supercharging in precisely the identical Supercharger spot, however they did have completely different drivers/house owners. Proper now, in fact, most Cybertrucks are going to look the identical, sporting a stainless-steel exterior that makes the car seem like it’s prepared for the apocalypse. As there are hundreds and hundreds on the road, house owners might wish to stand out just a little extra. (In any case, do you purchase the Cybertruck and not wish to stand out?) For positive, the next than common share of the vehicles will get wrapped. However there’s extra that may be achieved past that.

In a latest CleanTech Speak podcast dialogue, KJ Gimbel, founder and CEO of Xcelerate Auto, stated one thing that caught my ear. He stated that Tesla Cybertruck upfits have been “going to go ballistic.”

“Whenever you’re speaking about doing precise upfitting — like, you’re doing Ladderax, toolboxes, you realize something that will be thought-about for work use — gentle upfits, sure; loopy, loopy stuff, you’re going to see a lot. The customized marketplace for Cybertruck’s going to go ballistic.”

A part of it’s the car’s pure tendency to face out, and something additional to make it stand out extra is a bonus. A part of it’s the complete rugged, tough-guy attraction of the truck — there’s loads of alternative to do extra rugged, tough-guy stuff. Then there’s the entire spaceship, sci-fi angle, and the way many individuals will wish to make it much more sci-fi themed?

“I feel it’s gonna be just like what Jeep Wrangler was, when individuals began modding their Jeeps. However there’s going to be much more futuristic builds. I imply, only for responsible pleasures, we’re gonna construct a lunar lander model ourselves. Clearly, Starlink will probably be in it. There’s CyberLandr — that firm that does the lift-up, pop-up campers. […] There’s different firms which are on the market — you realize, like Lightship RV. You’re going to see individuals which are gonna wish to tow their Lightship with Cybertruck. I feel it’s gonna — it’s gonna go ballistic — particularly right here in Texas. Texas will bounce it off greater than anyone. Our roofers are insane. I don’t know should you’ve ever pushed in Texas quite a bit — I imply, the usual for lifted vehicles here’s a 6″ elevate with 37s.”

Hold your eyes peeled. Cybertrucks are already alien, they usually’re simply beginning to get out within the wild, however they’ll get extra alien as extra individuals get theirs into their garages after which get them modified. Keep tuned.
