They definitely look better wrapped. Flat black looks pretty sweet.

This car will be a hit. Celebs are all starting to get it. I will wrap mine in mat black

I might consider it in several years when my taco is done. I would rather see them get all the design kinks figured out first.

Saw one in Northwest Houston today around lunch time. Looked cool. Passed a stop sign.

The folks about 5 doors down the street from us in Bastrop own one. Pretty sure they work for Tesla or one of the other Elon companies nearby. There are a ton of Teslas in our neighborhood. My overriding impression of the CT was also that it seems short, but otherwise the looks aren't that bad. I think it is kind of like a lot of other automotive styling choices recently that will eventually grow on me or at least come to look "normal" once you get over how it looks initially.

In reply to tk for tu juan That's the best looking spec I've seen, but it would look like that for exactly one day if I owned it. That would be a nightmare to keep clean.

Saw this one at Big Bend NP today

Anyone that has seen most of the matte vehicles beyond 60 days old would be wary of doing it They look great when the paint or wrap is new but so dirty looking later.

Saw my first one coming off the Bolivar Ferry on Sunday afternoon.
Looked just as hideous in real life as it does on the screen.

Distributed camping w/ a huge battery is cheating.

That's why you should still wash and clean it just like any other vehicle. I did a matte black PPF with ceramic coating on my Tesla 5 years ago and it still looks as good as the day I got it.

The ceramic coating changes things entirely. Smart move.

Not sure what happened here

Cybertruck hits a little water. Dies instantly. pic.twitter.com/fR4i1gUkNU

A plastic wheel well cover became dislodged and rubbed the tire. Driver popped it back in place and kept driving.

Same Cybertruck this time running paddle tires and Fox suspension.

Saw this guy at the Maverick RV Park in Lajitas last week. Pic isn't mine and it's not from the RV park, but it's the same guy. He was there with a guy in a Rivian truck pulling a little "V" or "A" trailer. Anyhow, I was struck by the dichotomy of the classic, rounded and beautiful Airstream trailer being pulled by a modern, angular, and ugly (imho) Cybertruck. About the only thing they have in common is the silver color.

In reply to GrapevineAg aluminum on the airstream is far superior to the "stainless" of the Cybertruck.

I saw a blacked out one near San Antonio at golf course yesterday. Looked way better than the silver but they're still ugly

Model S is the only attractive looking Tesla

from best to worst:

S
Roadster
Semi
X
3 (as bland as can be)
Truck
Y (like driving an egg)

In reply to EliteZags Have you seen the new Model 3? Much better than the old in my opinion.

In reply to hph6203 futuristic Corolla

In reply to EliteZags I'm not seeing any resemblance to a corolla at all other than they're both cars

In reply to GAC06 referring to the generic mundaness of driving the most common car on the road

In reply to EliteZags The new Model 3 has about 20,000 total sales in the U.S.

It does look a lot different. Better in my opinion, and much more similar to the S

In reply to EliteZags They're the same model vehicle in the same vehicle class, but if you can't see a difference you're blind.
