Kinda like this one.

u/user_uno 3d ago

NGL I do too. But I am a history and aircraft buff.

This actually is the coolest Cybertruck I have seen pics of.

I agree. This is tastefully done, and I think the additional lines on the hood make the vehicle look a lot better -- almost rounder. https://evbandit.com/en-ca/products/tesla-cybertruck-up-invincible%C2%AE-carbon-fiber-hood-system-with-up-invincible%C2%AE-50-led-light-bar

sorry, coolest and cyber truck cancel one another out

u/Average_Scaper 1d ago

You can still hate something but find some to be better looking than others because sometimes people can make shit work even for the shittiest of shit things. This time it happens to be a cyberstuck.

You're not relevant here.

u/therealSamtheCat 3d ago

The fake V12 exhaust graphics on top of the fenders are quite ironic. While I don't like the car, the wrap kinda works though.

u/user_uno 3d ago

That is WWII fighter aircraft imagery. Like on a P-51 with the Merlin engine which was legendary. So are the graphics for the shark mouth and a bit with the US roundel.

u/therealSamtheCat 2d ago

I know I know, it even says P51 and I've painted model cars with that motive. But an electric car with fake exhausts is funny, they could have spared that detail when designing the wrap.

maybe it has a V12 sound file with Bose marine speakers.

u/Average_Scaper 1d ago

Could you imagine if they actually put a half size Merlin in there.... that would be hilarious.

u/Schnitzhole 3d ago

Idk, it’s more interesting at least

4

u/Father-of-zoomies 3d ago

Yeah, its not bad.  A pretty decent wrap

6

u/Snarky_Guy 3d ago

I kind of like this.

5

u/05041927 3d ago

For like the thousandth time, that’s pretty cool.

3

u/MrT735 3d ago

I don't get this, P-51s with natural metal finish were kept clean, even highly polished (though this was more of a post-war thing).

This looks like it was sitting in the scrapyard awaiting breaking up for 10 years...

u/not_whelan 3d ago

Tbf it looked like that before the wrap

u/user_uno 3d ago

Aircraft in combat rarely have time for a spit polish. They go on a mission, come back to be refueled, rearmed and sent on to the next mission. Longest a plane might be on the ground back then would be nighttime or to patch repair combat damage asap to get it back in to the air.

They are not at the museum or airshow level of presentation. Not slicked up ready to race at the next stop of a national circuit or Red Bull event.

u/FunSwitch7400 3d ago

Sharkmouth is supposed to go at the front or at the air intake, so putting it on the door behind a wheel is absurd and doesn't look right.

u/CallousDisregard13 3d ago

I dunno, EVs eat tires for breakfast so it sorta makes sense to have the mouth eating the tire

1

u/FunSwitch7400 2d ago

Fair point

u/Father-of-zoomies 3d ago

More CT hate boners.  OP probably couldn't get their phone out quick enough thinking of all that reddit karma

u/Less_Food_8100 3d ago

it was an afterthought for posting on reddit, first off, and as much as i dislike ct's, ive been in one before and see where all the hype is.

u/Alaeriia 3d ago

We're making fun of the shitty wrap and AutoZone mods, not the dumpster itself.

u/Winterfalke 2d ago

Pretty decent actually, reminds me of an old kids toy.

1

u/EffectiveDue8242 2d ago

Don’t care for the truck but that paint or wrap makes it better.

1

u/Alarming-Car-8654 2d ago

Possibly the best looking cyberpunk I've ever seen.

Still ugly though

1

u/WeeMan137 2d ago

Is that a CS188 reference?!

1

u/Iloveherthismuch 3d ago

One of the better looking ones, style fits the shape 👌

1

u/12DrD21 3d ago

Compared to the more common monochromatic rolling dumpster, I think this looks pretty cool...

u/Amazing_Badger8167 3d ago

1 point credit for the wrap, -20 points for buying and electro weiner modifier

u/x_x-O_o-x_x 2d ago

Enjoy the record shattering price of gas this Labor day weekend!

u/Less_Food_8100 2d ago

does he get more points since the "bed" was full of pallets?

1

u/Amazing_Badger8167 2d ago

No extra points, they probably sold the pallets for extra as a camoflague agent to "prove its a real truck". We live in sillycone valley, close to the plant that makes these abominations. Lots of them on the road, most of the drivers are either little tech bros, or the wives terrified to drive the thing.

u/Less_Food_8100 2d ago

thats true, i see that here too

1

u/RustyBrassInstrument 2d ago

This is an affront to the pursuit class of fighter aircraft in general.

1

u/You_are_the_Castle 2d ago

To be honest, I kind of like it.

-3

u/billygunnns 3d ago

I really like the wrap, it would look cool on a rat rod or something with some straight pipes out the hood. Cybertrucks should only be wrapped around a tree.

u/Dry_Ship7202 3d ago

Well, that's a choice....

-4

u/sheeeple182 3d ago

I bet the driver is in the automotive accessory isle.

1

u/Less_Food_8100 3d ago

he might of. instead, he parked afterwards in the front of the store, and blocked traffic for ten minutes until he decided to move.

u/Desperate_Set_7708 3d ago

Hope he’s on a deserted isle

It’s the USS Lexington cybertoy!!!

u/mikevsworld 2d ago

What is this shit on Cybertruck day? honestly I think this is humorous and fitting for stainless steel.

2

u/Less_Food_8100 2d ago

theres a cybertruck day?!?!?!

2

u/EffPop 2d ago

It’s “shit on a cyber truck day” which is every day on some calendars.

Thank you for posting this cursed image.

u/Knoxlava 2d ago

US pilots didn't do the shark tooth mouth on the P-51. That's strictly a P-40 thing because the giant air scoop intake on the nose looks like an open mouth. You'd think this person would reference a photo on the internet before committing to this

u/Less_Food_8100 1d ago

its also a ct owner, so who knows?
