I agree. The stainless seems not only kind of boring, but it shows fingerprints really easy. However, having said that wraps are still wraps - not very tough I would imagine - and don't last probably as well as a cared-for paint job. I feel like the stainless steel that Tesla went with, for all of its toughness, the benefits don't outweigh the issues IMHO
Yeah, I was indifferent to the looks one way or another, until I finally saw it in the showroom, and when driving, and was shocked at how ugly it looked. Fingerprints and just everything really show, even at a distance often. I'd probably wrap if I got one, perhaps orange camo in order to less disturb wildlife when car camping, but be visible to humans.
It looks great. I've seen pictures of several CT that have well done advertising wraps and are being used for work trucks. Jowua will get noticed on your mobile billboard.
I agree with you...why put something that you would worry about over a surface that you don't need to worry about? I was contemplating black on my CT, but decided against because of this (and the cost). I prefer the simplicity and look of stainless. Thanks for the vid!
Looks Nice - I'm interested on how it lasts on dirt roads, Soft touch car washes, winter... as I'm waiting for a Cyberbeast VIN in MN and thought I would just stick with the stainless look
Recently had a friend's 2022 Model Y estimated for a repaint. (No Color Change) The shop in Colorado Springs said it was $13,500. I wrapped my 2024 Model Y for $1,500 using a DIY kit. The local wrap shop gave me a $4,500 for a wrap. I will never own a car with paint without wrapping it...
Looks great. I’m starting to see a lot more cybertrucks on the road but yesterday was the first time parking next to one at a supercharger and it made my model 3 seem like a go-cart. 😂
I'm surprised they did a clean edge cut like that, rather than wrap internally slightly. It seems much more likely to peel at the edges as dirt etc ingresses.
Yes, I would most definitely wrap my Cybertruck, if/when I ever get one - and I'd also get the PPF. I just don't really like the stainless steel color, although I do like silver as a vehicle color - and stainless steel kinda looks silver.
All things considered including the work of getting the surface prepared, the cybertruck must be the ideal car for a wrap. How about an extra thick wrap millimetre sized, not so much of a film as a durable layer?😊 All cybertrucks look good wrapped and must be the easiest vehicle to do, and yours looks awesome. Happy wrapping!
No need for clay bar. That's for soft paint. 0000 steel wool with soap or degreaser is perfect for cleaning stainless. Now it's wrapped you need to treat it as if it is covered in a soft fragile vinyl, just like you treat old records but, looks great with the wrap.
Yeah I wasn't going to wrap my CT either, but the etched finger prints & water drip stains drive me crazy. Also the CT looks awesome wrapped. Sort of putting a real nice suit on an ugly man. 😂
Definitely looks better wrapped, I think a lot of owners are going to wrap for no other reason than to be able to tell it apart from others Cybers that may be in the area,
matte black 👌, its a good idea to throw a ppf on that front bumper! as an added layer, could do the hood too but that might be noticeable, doing the front in the stealth matte is not as noticeable of a sheen difference. stick to contactless car washes! contact will mess up the whole thing and maybe some corners
Brother, The morning I picked up my Model Y LR, Feb 1, 2022, I drove direct to have ppf installed. The next month I had the Ceramic Coat installed. Will you have Ceramic Coat installed? Cheers, Eric
Awesome, Chris! I’m all about the stainless steel, but if I’d ever consider a wrap I’ve wondered about the longevity, wear, etc. Keep up the great work! 😎👍🏻
My wrap with tools cost just under $1k The cybertruck is the easiest vehicle to wrap. I was quoted $7-$8k so I decided to do it myself. It was actually fun to do. Couple UA-cam videos and you’re good to go.
Very tough to resell a car that's been repainted. Buyers are highly suspicious and run away. Best to not repaint even if it looks crap. I've done it but probably wouldn't again.
Looks great. And I'm sold on protective wrap. Two years ago I had my Model Y wrapped with matte protective film. Last year my neighbor backed into the bumper with one of those trailer hitch extension baskets. Tore the wrap up something awful. Looked like angry raccoons worked on it for a week. Not one scuff on the paint or bumper underneath. It did cost $1000 to his insurance to replace the film and more than half a day of my life. Was worth it. Don't just find the place closest to you. Find the best place period. The company that initially wrapped it left two tiny white bird droppings in the middle of the frunk. Then they blamed me. 1. They could've scraped it off. "We didn't want to damage the paint." 2. They could've dabbed it with even a black marker. My Y is gray. 3. At the very least they should've called me. And I'm sure the rookie who did it got chewed out or fired. The owner of the much place that fixed the bumper wrap cringed when he saw it. "Who would wrap over this?" So ask people with wrapped cars either cosmetic or protective wraps, which ever you're thinking about, if they recommend the place that did it. It seemed obvious to me at the first unveiling that the best surface treatment for a Cybertruck would be to drive through a huge mud puddle. Okay, Chris next aftermarket upgrade. Heat protective film on that huge skylight. I live in Southern California. Even on Thanksgiving if it's sunny I can roast the turkey in my front seat. One company wanted to put the film on the inside of the glass... and I balked. Wouldn't the outside be better? Couldn't find any clear information on what would be best to keep the heat out.
It looks great. However, I speculate that a plastic wrap will age poorly compared to the stainless steel that is much stronger. Will be interesting to see how it looks in 2 years.
Vinyl wraps are inferior to ppf there are plenty of videos out there to demonstrate this. Vinyl wraps will only last 3 or 4 years where is paint protection film will last 7 to 10 years
Should have finished the video with "And that's a wrap folks!".
That would be confusing
I agree man
😂
If you are going to do a wrap - that's a great color! I agree that non-antique cars are tools and not 'jewels', but to each their own!
Looks great! Wraps are so easy to clean and very durable. I've had mine on for over 2 years on my Model S. No blemishes at all.
I actually like the wrapped CTs a lot more than the standard stainless.
I agree. The stainless seems not only kind of boring, but it shows fingerprints really easy. However, having said that wraps are still wraps - not very tough I would imagine - and don't last probably as well as a cared-for paint job.

I agree, I was surprised it changed the look as much as it did. If you care about the look, wrap is the way to go.

same!
This looks much better than pre wrap
Looks good. But I can't believe you missed the pun opportunity at the end there . And that's a wrap for this episode. 🤣😎
Rusty looks a lot better with his new clothing. Love it
Not sure why you would wrap the CT in basically the same color as the stainless.
Should have gotten it done cheddar orange to look like a cheese wedge.
We're still waiting for our Founders Series but in the meantime I'm dreaming of having it buffed to high gloss mirror finish.
The wrap look nice on the Cybertruck Chris couple of my family members had their cyber truck wrap in Red it was very Beautiful
I've only seen 3 cyber trucks so far and one was mat-black wrapped. So yeah lots of people are doing that.

Thanks Chris. I've often thought about wrapping my M3, but didn't know much about the process. Very educational! 👍
My nephew works at a sign shop and he works a lot with wraps. He already told me that he gets to wrap mine when I get it 🙂
Looks great. I’m starting to see a lot more cybertrucks on the road but yesterday was the first time parking next to one at a supercharger and it made my model 3 seem like a go-cart. 😂
I reckon that’s my favourite CT wrap I’ve seen yet… looks perfect 👍
Looks fantastic and that colour really complements it. I am interested to see how easy or difficult the wrap makes it to clean as well.
Looks way better with the wrap and that’s all that matters
I'm surprised they did a clean edge cut like that, rather than wrap internally slightly. It seems much more likely to peel at the edges as dirt etc ingresses.
Wow, looks fabulous, love the color and will definitely turn heads!
I don’t want to let my CT go for 3 days. To wrap it. I love the HFS look too.
Looks great Chris, nice matte finish - you just need a batman suit now 😂. You've improved it imo
Yes, I would most definitely wrap my Cybertruck, if/when I ever get one - and I'd also get the PPF. I just don't really like the stainless steel color, although I do like silver as a vehicle color - and stainless steel kinda looks silver.
Cool wrap! If I were to pick a wrap color- hot pink FTW 🙌
Realistically, I’d rather buy jewelry 😊
Looks more finished. 👍
Stainless looks dirty all the time. So I would ppf the stainless if you like stainless look to prevent cleaning stainless constantly.
All things considered including the work of getting the surface prepared, the cybertruck must be the ideal car for a wrap. How about an extra thick wrap millimetre sized, not so much of a film as a durable layer?😊 All cybertrucks look good wrapped and must be the easiest vehicle to do, and yours looks awesome. Happy wrapping!
I think wrapping the cybertruck makes it look a lot less ugly.
I had my doubts about you getting a wrap. I got to say, it looks awesome! Day 1.
No need for clay bar. That's for soft paint. 0000 steel wool with soap or degreaser is perfect for cleaning stainless. Now it's wrapped you need to treat it as if it is covered in a soft fragile vinyl, just like you treat old records but, looks great with the wrap.
That’s probably the best color wrap I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot in the Austin area
Yeah I wasn't going to wrap my CT either, but the etched finger prints & water drip stains drive me crazy. Also the CT looks awesome wrapped. Sort of putting a real nice suit on an ugly man. 😂
I like that color too. Looks great
Jeremiah Jones would absolutely HATE that you don’t use the two bucket method
That’s def in the top 5 best looking wraps
Definitely looks better wrapped, I think a lot of owners are going to wrap for no other reason than to be able to tell it apart from others Cybers that may be in the area,
Looks sharp! Ditto to Joe below, I've had my XPEL wrap on now for just shy of 3 years, no probs and super easy to keep clean.
Wow!
This wrap looks great.
Looks great brother! This will help for sure with them fingertips and yes, easier to keep clean.
Great color choice for your CT! I look forward to seeing how it ages.
I'm looking forward to your eventual video titled: "I removed my wrap to see how the stainless survived"
I already damaged it yesterday 😂😂
matte black 👌, its a good idea to throw a ppf on that front bumper! as an added layer, could do the hood too but that might be noticeable, doing the front in the stealth matte is not as noticeable of a sheen difference. stick to contactless car washes! contact will mess up the whole thing and maybe some corners
I got mines wrapped, use it like normal, as normal as I did with my Tacoma. Then just pressure wash it, nothing fancy.
Great color. Looking forward to see it age.
That is a very nice color choice...very sharp. I look foward to seeing how the wrap hold up.
Brother,
The morning I picked up my Model Y LR, Feb 1, 2022, I drove direct to have ppf installed. The next month I had the Ceramic Coat installed.
Will you have Ceramic Coat installed?
Cheers, Eric
Na
The wrap makes it look so much better.
I saw my first Cybertruck in my neighborhood in New York. It was wrapped in black.
No doubt about it looks really nice...love the grey/charcoal wrap color.
CyberTruck should be a very easy vehicle to wrap. No compound curves!
It looks amazing!
Nice well thought out video!
Awesome, Chris! I’m all about the stainless steel, but if I’d ever consider a wrap I’ve wondered about the longevity, wear, etc. Keep up the great work! 😎👍🏻
I just can't see a wrap taking the force of a shopping cart, or a scrape of a mailbox. Maybe a door ding, but that's about it.
My wrap with tools cost just under $1k
The cybertruck is the easiest vehicle to wrap. I was quoted $7-$8k so I decided to do it myself. It was actually fun to do. Couple UA-cam videos and you’re good to go.
After you got job done, what was your final cost?
Looks great, hope it looks good dirty and then through the car wash.
I paid 9200 I wrapped it Matt black stunning colori I’m sure i overpaid
:O
I think the wrap looks nice. I sure hope Jowa is paying for that driving advertisment of them. 😂
Ofc, explained at the end
Very tough to resell a car that's been repainted. Buyers are highly suspicious and run away. Best to not repaint even if it looks crap. I've done it but probably wouldn't again.
Looks terrific 🙌
looks awesome, I love it
Awesome, great video, LOVE your CT. G’day from Oz. 🇦🇺
Looks Great Chris! 😎
Looks great.

Looks pretty awesome man!!
Chris, I’m in Michigan here with you and would like to test a color changing acid on your cybertruck stainless steel sample, would you be interested?
when cybertruck gets fsd supervisied will you only do cybertruck fsd or cybertruck and model y vids?
I do like that color
looks good
Woohoo stainlessssss!!!
perhaps a great deal/free to unwrap if it doesn’t hold up to what your location subjects it too?
Sure will help with the fingerprint problem.
Looks amazing 😮
Looks great, FAR better than black.
He did a nice job.
Thats awesome!
I think it would look great in Tesla Quicksilver.
Damn i love the color
Love the new look.
Looks beautiful 🇺🇸👍👍
Can we call it Satin Charcoal?
Rolled Coal 😂😂😂
Were you in Big Rapids a couple days ago? I saw a Cybertruck with a charcoal wrap.
Nope
How long does the wrap last. ?.
snow melts faster?
I like it!
Chris what is the dirty Tesla Spirit. Couldn't find the quote.
It looks very nice now, but not so much when dirty !
It looks great. However, I speculate that a plastic wrap will age poorly compared to the stainless steel that is much stronger. Will be interesting to see how it looks in 2 years.
that stainless steel will look way worse than a plastic wrap in some years
@@fratta3393 Nope, you can easily bring the stainless back to like new condition with something like BKF.
@@boostav 😂
@@boostav 🤣
@@fratta3393 Not my fault you've got no idea what you're talking about.

People should just plastidip the whole car cheaper and easier to remove and they have cool shift color
Colorblind grey huh?
Why would I put a bunch of polymer goo on my beautiful stainless steel?
sick
I've seen Cybertruck near me that was wrapped in a dull off- white. Ick. Pointless.
Obsessed❤
Looks beautiful. Now get it dirty
You forgot his informations in the description right?
Of course I did lol, added.
Nice!
