Tesla Cybertruck will need to be wrapped if you want colors or patterns

| Orders for the stainless steel Tesla Cybertruck keep rolling in |
You cannot paint the stainless steel body but you can have your Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in order to get different colors and patterns, according to a new comment from CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla is folding “ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless-steel" into the structure and the body of the vehicle:
“Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection. Starting with a nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, every component is designed for superior strength and endurance, from Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin to Tesla armor glass."
Not having stamped body panels offer several advantages.
Tesla writes:
“If there was something better, we’d use it. Help eliminate dents, damage and long-term corrosion with a smooth monochrome exoskeleton that puts the shell on the outside of the car and provides you and your passengers maximum protection."
However, it complicates painting the vehicle – though it is possible.
It’s unclear if Tesla plans to offer wrapping as a factory option or through its service centers, but it sounds unlikely at this point with Musk saying that “you will be able to wrap it."
