Decoding Tesla's Cybertruck Color Options: From Stainless Steel to Custom Finishes
Tesla's Cybertruck stands apart from typical cars by defaulting to no paint. Rather than a sneaky attempt to earn more from buyers (though, perhaps it is), this design choice is intentional: the vehicle sports a stainless steel body that inherently doesn't require paint for protection. Tesla even showcases on its website a video demonstrating various objects bouncing off the Cybertruck's body without leaving a scratch. Yet, if a different aesthetic is desired, there's an option available—albeit at a cost.
Tesla's website offers Cybertruck color paint film as an alternative. Described as urethane-based "premium color paint films," these are purportedly "self-healing," offering scratch protection, despite the earlier claims of the vehicle's resilience to scratches. This film covers all external stainless steel surfaces and is touted as more environmentally friendly than conventional vinyl wraps, according to the company. The available choices are Satin Black and Satin White, both priced at $6,500.
The Cybertruck remained largely shrouded in mystery until Tesla commenced deliveries (albeit in limited numbers) to customers recently. Now, more details have emerged about the $60,990 electric SUV. Notably, the base model starts at $60,990, featuring a rear-wheel motor setup, set for availability in 2025. Those seeking something sooner must opt for other trims: the all-wheel-drive variant, beginning at $79,990, or the Cyberbeast, a tri-motor version commanding a staggering starting price of $99,990.
In the world of automobiles, Tesla's Cybertruck stands out not only for its unconventional design but also for its unique approach to exterior finishes. While the stainless steel body signifies a departure from traditional paint-covered vehicles, Tesla offers an alternative for those desiring a different hue. The introduction of color paint film provides a choice, despite the car's initial resistance to scratches. With Tesla's Cybertruck making its way to customers and revealing more details about its pricing and variants, it's evident that while the base model presents an attractive starting point, options for earlier availability come with a higher price tag, ensuring a variety of choices for interested buyers in the electric SUV market.
