CyberTruck Looks Like a Lotus Esprit

I know Elon Musk purchased James Bond's 1977 Louts Esprit that appeared in The Spy Who Loved me, and when I saw this image of a customized all white CyberTruck from Autographics, I had a deja vu moment, as I saw how remarkably similar it looks to James Bond's Lotus...On detail that is remarkably similar beside all the sharp lines is the Pontiac Fiero style abrupt rear side window shape...

Satin Frozen Ruby CyberTruck

 

Satin Frozen Ruby CyberTruck

I recently saw a CyberTruck that literally stopped me in its tracks as it was so beautiful! I parked in this garage, and got out of my car, and saw this magnificent beauty staring at me. The color of the PPF wrap is Satin Frozen Ruby, and it's from CyberTruckWraps.com. 

An hour later, when I was returning to my car, I started taking more photos of this beauty and just afterward I noticed the owners approaching their CyberTruck as I was exiting the parking garage and stopped in my Model S and I said, "It this your CyberTruck?" They looked at me with a kind of worried look, and said 'Yes'. It turns out they thought maybe I was going to hate on them, but then the husband said to the wife, 'You don't have to worry, he's driving a Tesla'. 

We had a great conversation, and the owner informed me that he wrapped it with CyberTruckWraps Satin Frozen Ruby, which is just gorgeous!! I looked down and noticed the CyberTruck wheel cap was completely off center and I snapped this photo.

Tesla CyberVan Concept

I hope Tesla comes out with a new Model X that has a similar for factor to the image below:

I noticed this Tesla CyberVan Concept in a goofy AI video on YouTube. So why am I including this? In my opinion the CyberTruck is currently the best vehicle ever made, with the Tesla Model S, coming in second, and the Model X coming in third. I think the Model X is an amazing car, but all the doors are absolutely horrible, especially the Falcon Wing Doors, which are horrendously terrible. Tesla recently confirmed they are coming out with an updated Model X, and I am hoping they will make a completely update model that has sliding rear doors, like a minivan, which would work 100 times better, and cost far less to make.

I think it would be cool if Tesla made a modular Model X design where the standard model would look like the one above, and would offer an extended wheelbase model with an even larger battery, and a luxurious third row that very comfortably seat people or serve as a camper, kind of like what we see in the goofy AI generated video below. I think the missing piece of the Tesla model puzzle is a vehicle that is designed to transport larger families. In other words, a larger Mini-Van that could comfortably seat 7 or 8 people.

I am including the original video below that this image came from, but I think since it's AI generated, it's pretty nonsensical, but I do like the way it look only in the image above, and I hope Tesla replaces the current Model X with a MiniVan-like design and if they nail it just right, it could displace the CyberTruck in universal appeal. I really hope and pray Tesla finally gets rid of those awful, stupid, terrible, useless falcon-wing doors.

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...
