A video shows the [troubled pickup]() drive through an In-N-Out Burger drive-thru, a key testing ground before the truck goes on sale in the US sometime next year. "Good thing we used camo lol," Tesla CEO Elon Musk [responded]() to images of the truck shared on social media. But why Tesla chose to wrap the already odd-looking truck in greyscale camouflage remains unclear. As [*InsideEVs* points out](), car makers have long wrapped prototypes in camouflaging vinyl to hide features and proportions from the public, though that material [tends to look quite different]() from this latest Cybertruck sighting. Tesla, however, has historically let their prototypes be seen [without any such wrap](), leaving us with more questions than answers. In fact, this seems to be the first time we've seen a Cybertruck that isn't, well, shiny. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1668832737841512450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1668832737841512450%7Ctwgr%5Eec2b4032daba0d35b0997d52ad48dd58da74b765%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Finsideevs.com%2Fnews%2F672053%2Ftesla-cybertruck-rocks-camouflage-wrap-latest-sightning-why%2F ## Behind Schedule What we do know is that the truck is already way behind schedule. Tesla claims it's aiming for initial deliveries later this year, at which point we might finally get a look at the final production design of the [truck's already divisive interior]() and exterior. The company has already delayed deliveries on a number of occasions over the last couple of years, which could be due to a number of reasons. A leaked internal report [analyzed by *Wired*]() last week, for one**,** found that an "alpha" version of the truck was plagued by [glaring yet basic flaws](). Whether Tesla will finally start volume production as promised in early 2024 remains to be seen. From [what we've seen]() as of late, the company clearly still has some gaps to fill in — both literally and figuratively. **More on Cybertruck:** *[Leaked Documents Reveal Cybertruck's Glaring Design Flaws]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
