The Tesla Cybertruck was spotted with a brand new wrap that is a slight modification from past coverings the automaker has put on the all-electric pickup. The new blue digital camo wrap was spotted in the Bay Area, where the company has been driving the Cybertruck for months as initial deliveries are set to begin soon.
The Tesla Cybertruck is covered in Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless steel, but CEO Elon Musk has said that the vehicle can be wrapped in any color or pattern.
We’ve seen a few of these patterns over the past few months as Tesla has equipped several camouflage wraps on the Cybertruck, varying in colors, tone, and appearance.
It has also been wrapped like other trucks on the market, like a Ford F-150.
Now, the truck has gotten a new look, and for the first time, we’re seeing it wrapped in a color other than a variation of grey as the Cybertruck is sporting a new blue digital camo.

It is a completely new look from Tesla on this Cybertruck, and it is garnering plenty of attention from those who are patiently awaiting the arrival of the all-electric pickup to the market.
Other camo wraps Tesla has brought to the Cybertruck have offered interesting looks at what will be possible in terms of those who ordered the vehicle but have no intention of keeping it standard.
Although Tesla has brought several wrap designs and now a new color, there is still some speculation as to how the company will offer the custom designs, especially as it has yet to release any details on available configurations, pricing, or the release date.

Even still, the Cybertruck is already one of the most unique vehicles that has ever been designed in the history of passenger vehicles. The wraps that will be available and put on the Cybertruck will give those who buy the pickup their own unique rendition of the vehicle, although some may aim to keep the classic look that Tesla has teased us with for the past four years.
Tesla is still planning to make its first deliveries of the Cybertruck by the end of the year, but the car needs to go through the regulatory process with the EPA and NHTSA, and we are still awaiting word of whether it has gone through emissions processes and official crash testing.

Tesla has extended its Bay Area ride-hailing service to include pickups and drop-offs at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The update, shared via the company’s official channels on July 21, allows users in the region to request rides directly to and from one of California’s busiest airports.
The expansion builds on Tesla’s secured limousine permit for SFO operations. Public records show the permit became effective March 20, 2026, and remains active through January 31, 2027. Tesla vehicles operating the service now display authorized limousine permits issued by the City and County of San Francisco.

Tesla’s ride-hailing program in California relies on Model Y vehicles equipped with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology. Human safety drivers remain present in compliance with state regulations, distinguishing the service from fully driverless operations.
The Bay Area geofence covers a broad area spanning north of San Francisco to south of San Jose, offering extensive connectivity across the region.

This SFO addition follows earlier progress at other Bay Area airports. Tesla previously expanded service to San Jose Mineta International Airport (SJC) in late 2025. The company had engaged with SFO, SJC, and Oakland International Airport officials as early as September 2025 to secure necessary approvals for passenger transport.
The service provides a new option for travelers seeking electric, app-based transportation integrated with Tesla’s ecosystem. Rides are booked through Tesla’s dedicated ride-hailing application, which handles matching, routing, and payments. Pricing follows standard ride-hailing models, with potential adjustments based on distance, time, and demand.
Tesla’s California ride-hailing program launched in July 2025 with an initial invite-only rollout in the Bay Area. It started alongside operations in Austin, Texas, marking the company’s second major U.S. market.
The Bay Area remains a primary focus in California, with service centered on high-demand corridors connecting residential, commercial, and now major transportation hubs. This latest airport integration represents a practical step in Tesla’s broader mobility ambitions within the state.

Tesla’s reason for Starlink integration on Cybercab might surprise you, as the company’s Head of AI, Ashok Elluswamy, finally shed some light on the reason they are putting a satellite internet terminal on its ride-hailing-geared vehicle.
On Monday, Tesla officially confirmed that it would integrate Starlink V5 terminals into Cybercab vehicles, something many Tesla fans had figured the company would do, as the vehicle is primarily geared toward giving rides without any passenger intervention.

The ability to access the internet would allow riders to work or play in the car with their devices. It seemed like a more-than-reasonable feature to add to the Cybercab, which made its way off the production lines for the first time earlier this year.

However, the move is not for the rider, as Elluswamy confirmed on Monday night. Instead, it’s actually for Tesla to be able to have a constant connection to the cars in the Robotaxi fleet so it can troubleshoot issues, contact riders, or resolve other issues.
Elluswamy said:
“It is still not required for safe operation of the vehicle. Connectivity is primarily meant for navigation, customer service and, in general, fleet management.”

Many initially assumed the option of constant connectivity would be enabled on the Cybercab for passenger entertainment or work. With the Cybercab, passengers won’t be doing anything but enjoying the ride, so it seemed more than logical that they would be hanging out with Starlink internet access as an amenity.
However, Tesla’s primary concern with Robotaxi is safety, and nailing these first unsupervised rides is a crucial step to setting a good narrative on how effective driverless transportation can be.
Being able to get in touch with passengers or a vehicle if something is wrong is a crucial part of the overall experience, and preventative measures are being taken by Tesla to ensure a smooth process, even in the worst-case.
