The Cybertruck has only been out for a month, and in limited numbers, but some Tesla owners are already customizing their vehicles.
New Cybertrucks are getting everything from colored wraps to window tints and protective coverings. Joe Torbati, the owner of OCDetailing in Fremont, California, told Business Insider he's received dozens of reachouts after posting a series of YouTube videos showing work he'd done for a new owner on their vehicle.
"We've probably been getting about 10 Cybertruck-related emails or contacts per day," Torbati said. "Though, it's not the traditional reason you would wrap a car, which would be to protect it — the point of this is more for just aesthetics," he added.
In one OCDetailing video from last week, the company outfitted the electric pickup truck, which has a stainless steel exterior, with a matte chrome wrap and tinted windows. Torbati said it's working on two more Cybertrucks as well.
Tesla delivered its first dozen Cybertrucks on November 30 and has said it plans to ramp up production in the coming year. Torbati said many of his Cybertruck customers appear to be Tesla employees from the carmaker's nearby factory. He said the new owners have primarily expressed interest in tinting the windows to help alleviate some of the intensity from the sun shining through the vehicle's massive windshield. Some have also requested clear protective films to help address areas on the vehicle that could be scratched or smudged.
Some other detailing companies have shared videos of similar updates they've done to Cybertrucks.
Tesla also offers its own black and white wraps, which it sells for $6,500 on its website. The carmaker's design chief, Franz von Holzhausen, was first spotted with a matte black wrap in November.
Ahead of the vehicle's release, some eagle-eyed Tesla fans also claim to have spotted a Cybertruck that appeared to have a wrap designed to make it look like a Ford F-150 pickup.
