Tesla, currently one of the most valuable companies in the world, had a great year in 2023 – they launched the refreshed Tesla Model 3 Highland in some parts of the world, their Model Y crossover SUV has become a best-selling nameplate in many regions, and they also launched the eagerly-awaited and much-delayed Tesla Cybertruck full-size EV pickup truck.
Some will say it’s nothing but a kid’s school triangle on wheels, but there’s no denying that it’s designed to attract attention, and nothing produced before can even resemble it. This thing will get a crowd of onlookers anywhere – from Hollywood to China, as it turns out.There is also no denying that Tesla will probably make a hefty profit thanks to the Cybertruck – it starts from $61k if you want the base RWD model with 250 miles of estimated range and a 6.5-second sprint to 60 mph, but that one will start deliveries from 2025. In fact, if you want one now, it’s best to skip past the $80k AWD model, too, even if it is slated for 2024 – the safest bet is the $100k Cyberbeast and especially its more expensive Foundation Series limited edition.
Of course, given all the hype, Tesla’s Cybertruck has also attracted the attention of aftermarket outlets – especially since the customization options are limited when ordering because of the stainless steel, unpainted body. You can even request a wrap from Tesla directly, but some folks will probably rely much more on the experience of specialized outlets. For the past 12 years, one of them has been Dania Beach, Florida-based Signature Customs.
The brand is part of the so-called ‘EV Design Movement’ and has been customizing both the looks and driving feel of Teslas way before the arrival of the Cybertruck – they can hook any Model S, 3, X, Y with Kavaca IR tint or PPF, Ceramic Pro Ion PPF, air suspensions, custom carbon fiber or regular body kits, and aftermarket wheels from Vossen, among others. But now they’re pushing the boundary with their new ‘BSpoken4’ vision – custom builds based directly on the client’s input.Of course, they also need to showcase the potential of the new vision – and that’s where the Tesla Cybertruck comes into play. So, they took a Cyberbeast Foundation Series and gave it everything they had – a dual-tone color-change wrap that features an eerie honeycomb pattern and various gradient switches, custom accents, quirky Vossen wheels, and more.
The company says it can also fit the EVs with new interior elements – seats, headliners, steering wheel, or door panels, plus upgraded brakes, Focal audio systems, unique internal lighting systems, air-ride suspension components, or other setups, but we don’t know if their Cybertruck demonstrator was bundled with everything aside from the spectacular dual-tone wrap and the Vossen wheels. Speaking of those, they’re of the 20-inch HF6-5 variety, and they kind of ruin the entire truck – at least for us.
If you look closely, they’re not only too small for the beast’s size (this truck indeed looks better with 22s) but also feature their own dual-tone treatment – white on the dark side and silver instead of black on the light side of the EV pickup. That’s an odd choice, indeed. If I were them, a set of concave Vossen wheels in a single color at least 22 inches would have been much more appropriate. Instead, right now, they’re just distracting and unwelcome. What do you think?
