Cybertruck's disguise fails to deceive

Tesla is set to unveil its highly anticipated Cybertruck electric pickup in September. However, the futuristic vehicle has already been spotted in public, despite attempts to disguise it.

Earlier this month, a broken-down Cybertruck was seen poorly hidden under a Ford F-150 wrap. Now, the Cybertruck has been seen disguised as a Toyota Tundra. So, what's the reasoning behind these disguises?

In previous sightings, the Cybertruck was covered in camouflage wrap. It seems that Tesla has now opted for disguising the pickup as other vehicles, but these attempts have not fooled anyone.

First, the broken-down Cybertruck was spotted as an F-150, and now videos have emerged showing the vehicle impersonating a Toyota Tundra, one of the best-selling pickups in the US.

Speculation surrounds the purpose behind these disguises. One possibility is that Tesla is trying to keep the Cybertruck unnoticed in the wild until its official launch. However, the wraps do little to hide the Cybertruck's unique and distinctive shape.

Another theory is that Tesla is testing these wraps with the intention of offering them to customers. The Cybertruck will only be available with its original stainless steel finish, so wraps could be the only way to customize it. While third-party options are expected, Tesla might also be planning to offer its own wraps.

Alternatively, this could simply be a playful joke by Tesla to troll its rivals, which aligns with Elon Musk's sense of humor. Musk has criticized other pickup designs as "boring" and has been inspired to create the Cybertruck with its science-fiction influences. Wrapping the Cybertruck to resemble other vehicles may be a way of highlighting how ordinary and commonplace its competitors appear.
