Matte Black / Gray Cybertruck Spotted at Tesla Design Studio?

[Administrator]

Here's an Image posted by Tesla Senior Engineer, Ricard Aiguabella, standing in front of the Tesla Roadster and Cybertruck at Tesla's design studio.

Either that's a never before seen matte black / gray Cybertruck or (more likely) the lighting is making it appear so. Either way, this gives a nice preview of how nice the Cybertruck will look in matte black or dark gray!

I think its just in the shadows.

Yeah I think this is the mock-up version, it's matte material instead of the 30x steel.

Thanks for the picture though, pretty cool

Wow, the CT was totally ghosted to me until I read the caption - covert.?

I really like the look of the matte finish.....I wish the engineer would move to the side

That is the clay model.

That is the clay model.

I agree with Schmeegz.... lighting a little funky but yes clay model. Still gives idea what matte finish may look like.

The reflection in the hangar window above the red car that’s also blocking our view ? makes me think it’s just funky lighting.

There’s also a bit of irony in parking it in front of a hangar...suggesting that’s what you need to build to garage it. Or is it hinting that it might have some sort of flying mode? ?

You want to significantly increase the cost of a vehicle just add paint.

I really like the matte finish also, but.....
Stainless steel begins to corode in the absence of oxygen.

A brushed SS look is pretty nice too

Notice the front where there is a distinct line between matte and stainless. I am guessing wrap

thats the light strip.

Not what I meant. Just noticed it’s the different angle makes it look lighter
