A Note on My JAKEe CyberTruck Sail Wrap

 

A Note on My JAKEe

CyberTruck Sail Rear Window Wrap

If you follow Jake's Tesla World you are probably familiar with my JAKEe CyberTruck design reference I created the evening that Elon first showed off the CyberTruck 6 years ago. When I first saw the CyberTruck I thought it looked amazing, but I thought the abrupt ending of the rear window shape that did not follow and complete the pyramid CyberTruck silhouette shape make it look cut off, like a Pontiac Fiero, or something...So I went crazy, and came up with my idea for a two tone wrap that is black on the bottom and silver on the top. Many people who have purchased CyberTrucks have adopted and incorporated my design ideas, and I recently discovered this one from Brian K. Sheets. 

I've spent many hundreds of hours deeply contemplating my JAKEe CyberTruck Design Reference look, and there is something I noticed that people did that made my design look a little off, and this article addresses this, and has some tips on how to enhance and overcome the challenge. The image above shows Jim's CyberTruck, with my rear sail window wrap idea, which he added, and it looks really cool, but it looks a little mismatched from certain angles. I figured out the way to overcome this challenge, and that is to continue the black wrap on the window ledge as pictured below, which has a mascara like effect. In other words, the original version pictured above looks kind of off as the rear sail window panel wrap does NOT line up with the rest of the pyramid panel structure. On the version below, which I added the black wrap along the window sill, makes it look completely aligned and cohesive.

My second tip, is I recommend that if somebody likes my JAKEe Wrap Design Reference for CyberTruck, it's important to wrap the Frunk in black also, which ads significant contrast that emphasizes the side triangle shape of the CyberTruck. Thus the image below has a Black Frunk wrap, as the versions pictured above lack the black Frunk, as they were left unwrapped in silver.

The image below shows how if you add the rear sail panel without adding the black wrap on the window sill, it can look like there is a mismatch, which is not a mismatch, it's just an optical illusion which makes the rear pyramid sail window look like it's not properly aligned and applied too low.

On the image below, I added my subtle black wrap on the window sills, and it makes a big difference, and makes it look like it's properly aligned from all angles.

Below is a excerpt from a recently published story that addressed this issue, so I thought I would add it for frame-of-reference: 

One More Thing

Mark asked me if anybody sells the side faux window panels already pre-cut, and I mentioned that T-Sportline offers them for sale, and they call them "Tesla Cybertruck Rear Window Fade Out PPF Wrap Kit", but I pointed out to Mark that from what I can tell from some angles these sail panels don't look right or look kinda crooked.

I believe the solution to optimizing this looks is to also wrap the flat window sill area with black, which completes the look as seen below. This makes it look much more cohesive and organic and makes the rear sail panel look more real. By tinting the windows and adding black wrap to the window sill, it also makes the CyberTruck look more masculine, kind of like the CyberTruck is wearing Sunglasses, and the extra black wrap has a mascara effect. Also, it doesn’t look like an afterthought sticker that got slapped on...
