Polishing A CyberTruck: Mark of the CyberBeast

 Polishing A CyberTruck

Mark of the CyberBeast

I am a YuuuuuuuGe fan of the Polished CyberTruck look, and I published a story on it back in October on TeslaMagazine.org. I thought about how cool it would be to do this when I get my CyberTruck, but I had so many questions and thankfully Mark from Mark of the CyberBeast mentioned to me when I spoke with him that he was planning to polish the stainless steel on his CyberTruck, and he decided to document the entire process!!! I reached out to Mark to ask him questions about his polishing project, and his brilliant answers can be seen just below the videos:


Q&A with Mark of the CyberBeast

Question 1: What made you want to polish your CyberTruck? 

"My wife and I love the rugged, masculine look of the metal, so I didn't want to wrap it.  It's not that we don't like them wrapped, but we felt it takes away from the intent of the design using that stainless steel exoskeleton.  We saw this and loved the look, it looks neater, more finished, especially in the sun where we live."

Question 2: How much will it cost you when it's done?  

"I've seen companies charge $8500 but Oliver's Metal Polishing who did it for me will be charging people around $4500, not much more than a PPF wrap and cheaper than a 3M wrap."

Question 3: How do you believe polishing your CyberTruck will affect the resale value of it? In other words, will it lower the value as it's no longer stock, or do you expect it to enhance the value as it will look way better? I realize you probably don't care about Resale value as you likely don't intend to sell it, but I am curious...    

"I don't think it will hurt, hopefully help but I still have my 13 year old Tundra so as you can guess, I have no plans on selling this, probably ever!  Someone can always wrap it if they don't like it."

Question 4: I mentioned to a friend of mine who owns a CyberTruck that I am thinking about polishing my CyberTruck when I purchase it, and he responded, "I would NEVER do that as the mirror reflection will reflect storing sunlight and blind people!". This seems to contradict what I thought I read in a post where the person said something like the light that hits the CyberTruck is reflected to the ground, and does not cause any kind of safety issues. Since you actually have a polished CyberTruck, I would like to separate the fact from the fiction in my article about your CyberTruck.   

"In motion, you really don't see such a harsh mirror and due to the angles it really isn't as bad on other drivers as you would think.  It looks really reflective in pictures because THAT is the look they are going for, the stealth blending in.  I do plan to put the 3 headed beast sticker on the tailgate to help with headlights of someone following me though.  Many tanker trucks are polished and they don't have the distraction people talk about so I'm not worried."

I was thinking about the alleged reflection issue, and if you think about it, in order for the sun to blind somebody by reflecting off the side of a polished CyberTruck would require the sun to be in the perfect position, so the side of the CyberTruck, and the CyberTruck facia would have to be at just the right angle to perfectly reflect it at a persons eyes. If you think about it, nobody would be in a position where their eyes would be low enough for the sun to reflect perfectly into somebodies eyes. Not the mention, the upper side area would reflect sun way upward, so I don't see how the sun could reflect off the surface of a polished vehicle where it would effect anybody or anything in a negative way...

In my opinion polishing a CyberTruck it TOTALLY NEXT LEVEL, and makes a CyberTruck look an order of magnitude cooler...

Tesla Earnings Call


 Tesla Earnings Call

I was talking to Mark yesterday, about the CyberTruck, and his superb YouTube channel, and he mentioned he had just finished up his 2024 Tesla Earnings video which can be see below, and he makes many superb points. Mark has a great Tesla YouTube channel named, Mark of the CyberBeast, which I highly recommend. Mark is really smart, and we talked about perhaps collaborating in the future on an article and video comparing the AWD CyberTruck to The Tri-Motor Beast CyberTruck!

Masterclass on Tesla Stock

 

Masterclass on Tesla Stock

As A Long-Term Investment Vehicle 

This interview which feature Cern Basher on Brighter with Herbert is one of the most profound conversations on the subject of the long-term value proposition of Tesla stock as an investment vehicle. In my persons option, I have long believed Tesla has had the entire automotive industry in check-mate, and will go on to become the single most valuable company on earth—by a long shot. If you study the history of Tesla stock you will discover that from its IPO on June 29, 2010 It's up 30,486.02% as of this writing. 



It is also a fact that to date, over the past decade and a half since Tesla IPO'd, it has appreciated close to 5% per month. That's 5% per month, not per year, so that means on average Tesla stock has gone up on average close to 60% per year. This is the most critical key ingredient to thrust Tesla stock up above all other companies as Tesla has magnificent trajectory, which is key.

New 2025 Tesla Model Y Launched in China

 

New 2025 Tesla Model Y 

Launched in China

Tesla finally launched the new 2025 Model Y (Codenamed Juniper) exclusively in China today, and it looks PRETTY RAD!!! It's obviously just a matter of time before the U.S. and Berlin made Model Y are updated to match this design language. I think Tesla did a GREAT job with overhauling the design of what is currently the Number 1 best selling car on earth, and yes, I am talking about the Tesla Model Y. Tesla basically just made it look way more attractive, sporty and sleek.


Exterior Updates

As we see from the image below, the Model Y "Juniper" refresh design language is similar to the upcoming Tesla RoboCab, and on the back of the vehicle we see it has a similar diffused lightbar, which looks really cool...


The new Model Y has a much sharper, cleaner vibe, as the front bumper facia, is sleeker and less bulbous, and the Duckbill/Porpoise/Botox lip look face is gone, as the new lightbar and headlights give it a much more modern persona. Also, it's slightly more aerodynamic overall, and the car is also just a big longer by 47 mm. The new Model Y Juniper measures 4797 mm in length, while its predecessor was 4750 mm long.

If I could as Elon Musk One Question?


If I could as Elon Musk One Question? 


They say there is no such thing as a stupid question and If I could ask Elon Musk one question, it would be:

"How in the future will Tesla vehicles be able to drive safely using full unsupervised autonomy using just cameras? How for instance could a Tesla vehicle navigate safely on a road at night with really thick fog?"

Over the years, there has been a lot of speculation about the validity of Elon Musk's vision to make Tesla automobiles that are genuinely autonomous—meaning cars that can drive themselves without any human supervision. I have spoken to so many people who say Elon's vision is an impossible pipe dream. 

I have NEVER doubted Elon's vision, but there were two important variables I questioned.

The dream of autonomous transportation, as it was originally put forth, was to have a Tesla vehicle that could drive itself from San Francisco to New York, without a person in the vehicle. 

When Tesla first introduced FSD (Full Self Driving), there were two questions that would not stop popping into my head.

The first question, which I considered was "If a Tesla was going to be able to drive itself from San Francisco to New York, by itself, how would it charge itself along the way? 9 years ago, Tesla showed off this bizarre video that shows a prototype snake charger, that could robotically charge a Tesla through the standard wall charger outlet:



I always thought the solution above was NOT realistic or viable, but at the time I was already aware of wireless charing solutions for Electric Vehicles as I had attended the CES show in Las Vegas, and saw a working prototype that was similar to a wireless charger for a smartphone.

Back in 2020 I wrote a seminal article titled "Thoughts on the Future of Autonomous Vehicles: The Shape of Things To Come", in which I discussed my ideas on the future of autonomous vehicles. In that article, I included a profound video that showcased and documented the future reality of wireless EV charing becoming standard for autonomous cars, which can be seen below:



Recently, when Tesla announced the CyberCab, they mentioned they were going to be incorporating wireless charging, and thus one of the two final puzzle pieces was put in place. Below is an official Tesla Video that shows how their CyberCab will use wireless charging:



Of course, I realized this years ago, which was further confirmed with the advent of the CyberTruck as Sandy Munro's CyberTruck teardown discovered wire harnessing already built-in to the CyberTruck, that could simply come to life if a Tesla wireless charing pad was installed. In other words, all CyberTrucks can easily be upgraded to have wireless charging. 

So this solves half the equation. Also, it's easy to see the amazing benefits of wireless charing for Tesla vehicles. For instance, your Tesla could pull itself into your garage automatically and position itself perfectly over the wireless charing pad. Also, if you plug in a current Tesla model to charge it today at home or at a Tesla Supercharger, or at a third party charger, in order to drive away, you have to manually unplug, and thus untether the vehicle, which oftentimes can be a pain. 

With wireless charing, the drivers simply puts the car in drive and drives off. At Tesla Superchargers, it's kind of scary for many people to know they can't just drive off when they are plugged in, so if for instance somebody tried to attack them, they couldn't just drive away, without having to first get out their vehicle and manually unplug it. With wireless charing this is no longer an issue or concern.

I have even seen prototypes where the base/floor charing pad was on wheels that could move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally so it could optimize its charing position every time. Jordan Giesige, from The Limiting Factor just came out with a deep dive video on how Tesla Wireless Charing will work, which is interesting:



How "Tesla AI Vision" Works

The second half of the equation I set out to resolve, is based on the Tesla exterior camera system, which the car used to drive when placed in full self driving mode, which as of today is only available in supervised mode.

In other words, Tesla and Elon Musk have promised that in the future, they plan to release Full Self Driving (Supervised), which will allow Tesla models to drive themselves.

Several years ago, all Tesla models had both cameras and lidar sensors for autonomous driving. The logic was that whatever the camera couldn't see, the lidar could detect. Lidar is a form of radar, that can see through things.

An edge case or corner case complex driving challenge example would be:

What if an autonomous Tesla was driving itself on a slippery road where snow was falling, and there was thick fog, and let's say there was a person crossing the road, or traffic stopped ahead of your, that you could not see since the fog is so thick. If the car was traveling at 60MPH, and the cameras could not see through the fog, the lidar would see what was behind the fog, which makes perfect sense.


Vision Based Approach

But then a few years ago, Elon Musk informed the world that Tesla was completely removing lidar and all forms of radar from Tesla vehicles, and planned to move forward with a camera only approach. This confused me to no end, and with my scenario, I couldn't understand how a Tesla could drive itself safely in such a scenario as I just mentioned with all the fog, without crashing or posing a significant safety hazard.

I kept doing research on this subject and asked a number of smart people and nobody seemed to know the answer, but I recently stumbled into a video that addressed and seems to have resolved this issue. The video below is from BestINTesla and is titled: "The GPU Giants Bet Big on xAI - The Dawn of a New Era in Energy Storage - Tesla Triumphs Over Unions". In this video, around 9:44:00 he discusses this topic in detail:


In the video above he points out that Chinese EV manufacturer, Li Auto CEO voiced his concern about Tesla's camera only approach. 


Ironically, Li Auto CEO's scenario was similar to mine, but according to the video the way the Tesla cameras work, is they can use all the visible light, including in the infrared spectrum, which we as humans can't see or detect with our eyes, and can see individual photons, which serve as solution of measurement similar to lidar. This still sounds a little far fetched to me, but I plan to investigate more and once I figure out more, I will update this article.

So there you have it. If I could ask Elon Musk only one question, this would defiantly be it. One thing that still confuses me and seems to contradict this notion or solution, is why do I get FSD pop ups that say FSD is degraded due to poor weather conditions? In other words, if I drive in rain, often times Tesla TSD will either refuse to turn on altogether, and give me a message that says something like "FSD not available at this time. Please try again later", or it will turn on the FSD, and put up a message on the Tesla screen that says something like, "FSD quality is currently degraded at this time, so please pay extra close attention".


What Does Grok 2 Have to say?

I decided to ask X.ai's Grok2 the question just to see how it would answer it. I figured since Elon Musk owns Tesla, Twitter/X.com, as well as Grok2, it should be able to separate the fact from the fiction.

Below is the exact question I asked Grok2:

"How in the future will Tesla vehicles be able to drive safely using full unsupervised autonomy using just cameras? How for instance could a Tesla vehicle navigate safely on a road at night with really thick fog?"

Below is Grok2's exact and thorough answer:

Achieving full unsupervised autonomy with just cameras poses significant challenges, particularly in adverse conditions like navigating at night with thick fog. Here's how Tesla might address these challenges:

Camera Technology and Software Improvements: Tesla relies on an advanced vision system called "Tesla Vision," which uses a suite of cameras to gather visual data. The key to unsupervised autonomy would involve enhancing the capabilities of these cameras through:

Advanced Image Processing: Utilizing neural networks and machine learning to interpret visual data more effectively. These algorithms can learn to recognize patterns in low visibility or altered conditions, potentially identifying road boundaries, obstacles, and other vehicles even when visibility is low.[](https://caradas.com/tesla-vision-adas-features/)

Night Vision Capabilities: Cameras with sensitivity to infrared light could improve night-time visibility, allowing the vehicle to detect objects that are not visible to the human eye. This would be crucial for scenarios involving dense fog, where traditional visible light cameras struggle.[](https://x.com/PhilFox43249797/status/1873667047336591851)

Redundancy and Fail-Safe Systems: Even with just cameras, Tesla could implement systems where multiple angles are captured and cross-referenced to compensate for any single camera's failure or obstruction. This could include predictive algorithms that anticipate road layout based on prior data and mapping.[](https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot)

Challenges and Limitations:

Fog and Weather Conditions: Thick fog can obscure all types of visual sensors, including cameras. Tesla's approach would need to significantly improve the cameras' ability to penetrate fog or develop software that can infer the environment from partial or intermittently available data. Currently, cameras alone are at a disadvantage in such conditions compared to systems using lidar or radar, which can better handle low visibility.[](https://caradas.com/tesla-vision-adas-features/)[](https://x.com/inevitable360/status/1873664929200538033)

Hardware Limitations: The current camera setup on Tesla vehicles has been criticized for not providing the depth perception and redundancy needed for true Level 5 autonomy, especially in scenarios where cameras can be easily obstructed or fail due to environmental factors.[](https://www.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivingCars/comments/1f7x2dr/your_tesla_will_not_selfdrive_unsupervised/)[](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/mobility/article-all-eyes-on-teslas-cameras-going-it-alone-on-driver-autonomy/)

Future Prospects:

- Tesla's ongoing software updates and data collection from its fleet could lead to breakthroughs in how vehicles interpret visual data under various conditions. Continuous learning from real-world driving scenarios could improve the system's performance in fog, night, and other adverse conditions over time. However, experts and posts on X remain skeptical about achieving full unsupervised autonomy with cameras alone due to these inherent limitations.[](https://x.com/TheBenHakim/status/1875264250631090400)[](https://x.com/TheBenHakim/status/1874927342373720475)

In summary, while Tesla is pushing forward with a camera-only approach, the journey to full unsupervised autonomy in challenging conditions like thick fog at night involves overcoming significant technical hurdles. It would require advancements in camera technology, machine learning algorithms, and possibly some level of sensor fusion or environmental adaptation that hasn't yet been fully realized or demonstrated at scale.


My Summary of Grok2's Answer

I must admit I'm disappointed and relieved at the same time by Grok AI's answer. I'm disappointed because its answer was vague and unhelpful and didn't go as far as the answer I provided. Basically, I would say Grok2's answer was largely useless. I'm relived because now I don't feel like my question is stupid, if Grok can't even answer it.

TMAXX Shamrock Greet Matte PPF


Telsa Model X Plaid

TMAXX Shamrock Greet Matte PPF

I really like this brand new PPF color from TMAXX, which TSportline wrapped this Model X Plaid with!!! I remember a friend of mine, back in the late 1990s or early 2000s drove a BMW 7 series that had a really similar shade of forest green that was so beautiful, but it was not matte like this new PPF, which gives it a frosty cool look.

NEW 

JAKEe Wrap Design CyberTrucks

If you a a regular reader of TeslaMagazine.org, you are likely familiar with my original JAKEe Wrap Design CyberTruck which is pictured below. This design was the byproduct of a tremendous amount of experimentation, but I came up with a published the first version just after Elon first showed off the CyberTruck in 2019. 


I plan to purchase a CyberTruck in 2025, and wrap it this way for sure, and although I originally planned to purchase a CyberTruck immediately, and was first in line to purchase one, I just couldn't get around the $20K upcharge for the Foundation Series, and the lower range, which pissed me off to no end. Also, I didn't want to purchase a depreciation rocket, nor did I feel like being a Beta Tester for Tesla, so I decided to hold out and wait until the CyberTruck had been out for more than a year.

Even thought I came up with my original JAKEe WRAP DESIGN REFERENCE which can be see above on a real CyberTruck that somebody wrapped with my design idea, I never really went beyond me initial design, but recently I started playing around with an updated, or new idea version and came up the wrap design ideas pictured below. 



The first new JAKEe WRAP DESIGN idea above really emphasizes the pyramid shape on top, but blacking it out with darker tint, and then adding, ironically, a white fat stripe with a red bottom. This design is ultra-modern looking to me and has a Racer-X kind of vibe.


I also tried adding a red fat-stripe to an all blackout model as pictured above and I think it looks king of cool.

Last but not least, I kinda like the really simple black pyramid top, with the simple red bottom wrap seen below. 


I plan to keep experimenting with wrap ideas, as inspiration dictates. The thing that kind of surprised me about the CyberTruck in general today is just how crazy wrappable it is. I think a standard stainless steel CyberTruck still looks cool, but they also look kind of boring and generic compared to all the wrapped ones I see all the time now. Of course, as I discover cool wrap ideas I will keep sharing them...

CyberTruck LightBar


CyberTruck LightBar

One of the most interesting things in this video beside the Tesla CyberTruck Light Bar, is Joe from OCDetailing's comments on the XP Black PPF Wrap. Joe said, "The CyberTruck has XPEL’s Ultra Stealth Glass black paint protection film on it, which is a super deep, super rich looking black,  that looks better than any even the flattest black paint job."

A Tad Too RAD!!!!!


A Tad Too RAD!!!!!
T-Sportline Stuns with 
Latest Triple-Blackout CyberTruck

Tsportline in my opinion is the undisputed leader in CyberTruck Customization, and this latest model is over the top cool.


Tsportline uses Tmaxx Hyperblack PPF, which according to Elie Rothstien, who is the VP of Sales and Marketing at Tsportline looks high glass and better than paint. Also, they sanded, primed and painted the wheel well covers, rocker panels and bumpers, which looks super RAD!!!


Tsportline set a precedent by being the first to replace the goofy white or tactical grey dash and door panels with real matt carbon fiber which looks AMAZING!!! I have seen other CyberTrucks T-Sportline customized by replacing the white panels with dark black, and it makes the interior of the CyberTruck so much more masculine, serious and ManCavy....


Tsportline also beefed up the CyberTruck Squircle steering wheel and made it fatter, and thus more ergonomic and substantial, which makes a lot of sense.




One More Thang...

It's funny, I don't even really like white as a wrap color for CyberTruck, but this color changing PPF  from TMAXX with satin finish looks AMAZING with it's satin crystal white. Also, I like these rims better than the ones on the black model pictured above.

Shaq O'Neal's CyberTruck Improved


 

Shaq O'Neal's CyberTruck

v.

JAKEe CyberTruck Wrap

Basketball legend, Shaquille O'Neal custom wrapped his CyberTruck in gloss black, but most interestingly customized his front running light in red as seen below.


I thought it would be really interesting to add my red fat stripe to the side of his CyberTruck to see what it would look like, and it looks pretty RAD!!!!


For frame of reference, my JAKEe CyberTruck design reference is pictured below, and I came up with this design reference long before the CyberTruck was available for purchase.


I kept looking at the image above and wondered what it would look like with a red lightbar, so I created the image below just to see what it would look like. Shaq's CyberTruck reminded me of this, which I why I created this post. In other words, it's really interesting to see what my idea what look like in the real world. While I think his all black wrap is cool, I like my JAKEe two one design better...

Below is a photo of a person who wrapped their CyberTruck using my original JAKEe custom CyberTruck Wrap design reference.

Two-Tone JAKEe Style CyberTruck Another CyberTruck


First JAKEe Design CyberTruck 

Wrap Designs Hits the Road

Part 3


Two-Tone

JAKEe Style CyberTruck

Another CyberTruck 

CyberTruckOwndersClub recently featured a post from Joe, who goes by Knight UP / ModelAZ, where he showed a dude who did a two tone wrap somewhat similar to my original JAKEe CyberTruck Wrap Design which is pictured below:


This wrap looks fantastic, with the 24 inch ALT Forged PL1 24x10 wheels. He also posted the following images from the owner.




I want to share a few key points about the difference between a standard two-tone CyberTruck, and my JAKEe CyberTruck design reference. The first image seen below shows how the two-tone CyberTruck is currently wrapped, which looks great, and it appears he two-toned the rectangular mirrors, by wrapping them on their upper front surfaces.


In the next image I added two JAKEe CyberTruck Wrap details, which I think are essential improvements based upon my original design. First I wrapped the Frunk lid in black, as we see below, which I think makes the CyberTruck geometry pop significantly more. In other words, by also wrapping the Frunk lid in black, it really accentuates the now completed pyramid shape and makes the bold geometry really stand out. 


Also, in the image above, I added the JAKEe Design rear faux black rear window wrap piece, which I also believe radically compliments the CyberTruck geometry, and gives it much more of an SUV vibe. I will expand upon this point after we discuss the next image, in which I added a red Fat Strip which is the exact same height as the CyberTruck front running light panel. It was challenging to get the geometry correct in enhancing this image due to the perspective offset parameters, and also the fact the blood red stripe color kinda clashes with the unusual brick color wall behind the image.





CyberTruck is a 

Model S SUV


So here is my bizarre observation about the design of the CyberTruck. I would argue, first and foremost, the Tesla vehicle named CyberTruck is much more of an SUV, than a truck per se. Granted, CyberTruck has a large 4x6 bed, so technically it's a truck, but to my way of thinking it's a Tesla Model S, reimagined as a full-blown SUV.


Let me be specific, and let's get something out of the way. Many people believe the Tesla Model X, is the SUV version of the Model S, and in looks that is true, but the Model X suffers from many design defects, like the 1000% unnecessary and stupid Falcon Wing Doors. 

Also, while the Model X, may be the ultimate soccer Mom SUV, the CyberTruck is the ultimate soccer Dad SUV, and it has way more in common with the Model S than with the Model X. For instance, both the CyberTruck and Model S are 4 door sedans, that incorporate coupe inspired design characteristics. 

I believe prior to the launch of the CyberTruck the Model S Tesla was unequivocally the best car money could objectively buy at any price. The CyberTruck has replaced it by offering way more great features and refined details, like a power-up and power-down frunk. All CyberTruck models ever made are pre-wired or equipped with the connectors that will facilitate adding a wireless charging connection point when it will soon become available from Tesla, and it is the ONLY Tesla made to date with this feature.

Also, that's one of the reasons I think now is a bad time to buy a Model S or X or Y, as I think they will soon benefit from significantly updated features the CyberTruck already posses, like bi-directional charging...Also, I believe Tesla will soon add as standard, wireless charging to all Tesla models, so unless you really need to purchase a car now, I would wait until these two inevitable features are standard.

Furthermore, the CyberTruck ditched the super goofy Model S door handles and replaced them with door openers that you push against instead of having to pull-to-open. On the Model S, you have to press on the closed door handle if it does not self-present, to get it to come out and present. I can't tell you how many times I have approached my Model S to open the door just a split second after the handle has retracting to in to the closed position, which inevitably results in a frustrating and not funny Curb Your Enthusiasm moment of tug-a-war. 

So basically, you end up playing whack-a-mole with your stupid Model S door handle, and Tesla completely resolved this issue with the CyberTruck. The only challenge is the CyberTruck is a fingerprint magnet, which is why you pretty much have to wrap it. I can't help but wonder if in the future, if Tesla will begin clear coating the Stainless Steet to make it highly fingerprint resistant, like modern Stainless Steel refrigerators. In my opinion, the highly susceptible fingerprint showing nature of the CyberTruck is a bug, and NOT a feature.

Most importantly, the drive-by-wire design steering is a complete-game-changer and makes the CyberTruck really easier to drive, coupled with the standard 4-wheel steering on the CyberTruck significantly decreases it's turning radius to less than the Model S, despite being so much larger and masculine of a vehicle. Also, the CyberTruck is the first vehicle made that offers 48 Volt Architecture, which is yet another point of differentiation and innovation.



Just for the heck of it, I added the optional fat red pinstripe to the version below which also has the features my new blacked-out window ledge design characteristic. One detail or feature I figured out is that I LOVE my JAKEe CyberTruck wrap design with and without the fat red stripe. 


I was recently consulting with a brilliant wrap expert and he said the ultimate solution would be to wrap the bottom of CyberTruck in black as well as the Frunk lid and rear pyramid window shape using PPF. He recommend using clear PPF on the stainless steel pyramid shape top sides to stop it from being a fingerprint magnet. He also highly recommended adding a ceramic coating to the entire CyberTruck to keep it from aging poorly, and also to make all exterior surfaces hydrophobic so it's super-easy to wash and keep clean.

He said, "We should add the fat red stripe using vinyl wrap, which will be cheaper and if you change your mind, you could easily remove it, or add it back at little or no expense. [This is because PPF is typically sold in larger minimum quantities, whereas vinyl is typically sold in much smaller increments.] He also said by placing the red fat strip over the top edge of the black it would provide a more seamless look as it would cover the visible seam.

It's a really cool idea to be able to easily add or remove fat stripes or update the fat strip to different accent colors, and in the example below we see it with a fat blue stripe, which looks totally different than the red stripe.


Just for the hell of it I added green and pink stripes below, and they look pretty cool. This would allow the owner to update their look whenever then want for a very small amount of money, and it's an option that could also be easily removed, or updated.





You could even two-tone the fat stripe and give it something like a gulf-livery look...


Or you could do a gradient like we see below...




It's almost unlimited what you could do with cool custom graphics, to change things up, like the Cyber Gradient Mudflap Chick graphic I put on the side of the CyberTruck, if you want to really trip people out and get way too much positive and negative attention as you drive around :-0 

The CyberTruck is defiantly a very masculine man's car and is perhaps represents one of the last bastions of fun male peacockery...That being said, I don't know if I would actually have the balls to drive around with that logo on my CyberTruck, but it sure does look beautifully bizarre to me...For some reason I have always loved the Mudflap chick graphic despite the fact it's so Politically Incorrect, or as some woke trippers would say "Toxically Masculine"...



The Mudflap Chick pictured below has an inner shadow frame around her graphic to make it look more like she is etched or embedded into the CyberTruck, as apposed to the version above where she is sitting on top of the CyberTruck. I couldn't decide which I like better, so I am showcasing both...


The CyberTruck really is the ULTIMATE wrap truck/canvas, but the JAKEe Wrap geometry is second to none...The Mud Flap Chick Logo below is kind of cool as I dropped the Tesla Plaid Pattern inside her silhouette, and added an inner shadow so it looks like the Plaid Mud Flap Chick is coming out of hyperspace in the first image below, and in the second image I added a more pronounced outer stroke...
