Tesla may offer Cybertruck wraps within six months of initial deliveries
There’s been a lot of talk surrounding Tesla’s vehicle wraps recently, with many pre-production Cybertrucks recently being spotted on public roads with unique wraps. Additionally, alongside news that Tesla is rolling out wraps for a few of its other cars, it seems to be confirmed that the automaker also plans to offer colored wraps for the Cybertruck not long after the electric pickup’s first deliveries.
Tesla launched seven new color wraps for the Model 3 and Model Y on Tuesday evening, leading many to wonder if the urethane-based films will also be available for the forthcoming Cybertruck. Since then, Teslascope shared on X that Cybertruck wraps will be available within the first six months of the vehicle’s initial deliveries, following multiple weeks of viewers spotting wrapped versions of the electric truck on public roads.
In the post, Teslascope says that the news of the Cybertruck wrap offerings was a “had to wait until it was hinted at publicly before we share it” scenario. The account also says that the wraps are expected to range from $8,000 to $12,000, though no prices have been publicly shared yet for the services.
This was a "had to wait until it was hinted at publicly before we share it" scenario, but:
Tesla will offer a Cybertruck wrap service with multiple choices within six months of the first customer deliveries.
There are no price confirmations yet, but it is expected to be $8-12K.

At least seven different Cybertruck wraps have been spotted over the past few months, including some made to look like a Ford F-150 and a Toyota Tundra, along with a unique digital camo wrap, two graffiti-style wraps and more still. The sightings have caused wide speculation as to whether or not Tesla would offer in-house wraps, and the announcement of wraps for its other vehicles seems to confirm the automaker’s plans.
The news comes on the same day that Tesla launched new PPF wraps for its Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, ranging in price from $7,500 to $8,000. The Model 3 and Model Y wraps are now available in the following colors and prices:
$7,500 Tesla Model 3/Model Y wraps
- Satin Stealth Black: $7,500
- Slip Grey: $7,500
$8,000 Tesla Model 3/Model Y wraps
- Glacier Blue
- Satin Rose Gold
- Forest Green
- Satin Ceramic White
- Crimson Red
It’s not clear exactly what wraps will be available for the Cybertruck, though all of those recently spotted have featured more than just static color. Instead, they’ve all featured dynamic color options and interesting designs after CEO Elon Musk said in 2020 that the Cybertruck could be wrapped in any color or pattern.

Starlink wrapped up 2025 with impressive growth, adding more than 4.6 million new active customers and expanding service to 35 additional countries, territories, and markets. The company also completed deployment of its first-generation Direct to Cell constellation, launching over 650 satellites in just 18 months to enable cellular connectivity.
SpaceX highlighted Starlink’s impressive 2025 progress in an extensive report.
Key achievements from Starlink’s 2025 Progress
Starlink connected over 4.6 million new customers with high-speed internet while bringing service to 35 more regions worldwide in 2025. Starlink is now connecting 9.2 million people worldwide. The service achieved this just weeks after hitting its 8 million customer milestone.
Starlink is now available in 155 markets, including areas that are unreachable by traditional ISPs. As per SpaceX, Starlink has also provided over 21 million airline passengers and 20 million cruise passengers with reliable high-speed internet connectivity during their travels.
Starlink Direct to Cell
Starlink’s Direct to Cell constellation, more than 650 satellites strong, has already connected over 12 million people at least once, marking a breakthrough in global mobile coverage.
Starlink Direct to Cell is currently rolled out to 22 countries and 6 continents, with over 6 million monthly customers. Starlink Direct to Cell also has 27 MNO partners to date.
“This year, SpaceX completed deployment of the first generation of the Starlink Direct to Cell constellation, with more than 650 satellites launched to low-Earth orbit in just 18 months.

Tesla Giga Nevada celebrates production of 6 millionth drive unit
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
6 million drive units
The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote.
The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.
Giga Nevada’s essential role
Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.
Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.

Tesla Supercharger network delivers record 6.7 TWh in 2025
The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets.
Tesla’s Supercharger Network had its biggest year ever in 2025, delivering a record 6.7 TWh of electricity to vehicles worldwide.
To celebrate its busy year, the official @TeslaCharging account shared an infographic showing the Supercharger Network’s growth from near-zero in 2012 to this year’s impressive milestone.
Record 6.7 TWh delivered in 2025
The bar chart shows steady Supercharger energy delivery increases since 2012. Based on the graphic, the Supercharger Network started small in the mid-2010s and accelerated sharply after 2019, when the Model 3 was going mainstream.
Each year from 2020 onward showed significantly more energy delivery, with 2025’s four quarters combining for the highest total yet at 6.7 TWh.
This energy powered millions of charging sessions across Tesla’s growing fleet of vehicles worldwide. The network now exceeds 75,000 stalls globally, and it supports even non-Tesla vehicles across several key markets. This makes the Supercharger Network loved not just by Tesla owners but EV drivers as a whole.
Resilience after Supercharger team changes
2025’s record energy delivery comes despite earlier 2024 layoffs on the Supercharger team, which sparked concerns about the system’s expansion pace. Max de Zegher, Tesla Director of Charging North America, also highlighted that “Outside China, Superchargers delivered more energy than all other fast chargers combined.”
Longtime Tesla owner and FSD tester Whole Mars Catalog noted the achievement as proof of continued momentum post-layoffs. At the time of the Supercharger team’s layoffs in 2024, numerous critics were claiming that Elon Musk was halting the network’s expansion altogether, and that the team only remained because the adults in the room convinced the juvenile CEO to relent.
Such a scenario, at least based on the graphic posted by the Tesla Charging team on X, seems highly implausible.
