2025 Cybertruck (AWD)
Hey everyone. Been lurking for the past few weeks as we considered the purchase; many of your posts/pics were helpful in our decision, seems like a great community here!

So, I did an overnight demo drive offered by my local Tesla dealer, and within 48 hours was able to pull a nice chunk of equity out of my 2020 TRD Pro Tundra, sold last weekend. Took delivery of the 2025 AWD CT on Friday. Drove it ~4 hours, happily, to a big local PPF/wrap installer, went with the PurePPF Platinum (dark bronze) color.

Picking up the truck on Monday, PPF'd, and bringing it home for the first time - really excited. We are also building a home right now, and purchased the powershare wall charger to take advantage of the generator functionality of the CT, which saved us from having to buy a standby generator. Pretty awesome.

There aren't many of them in my area and the demo drive was pretty hilarious.. the truck certainly gets a lot of attention, for better or for worse. Anyway just wanted to drop my first post here, will post pictures as soon as I am able, if anyone is interested.

Congrats! I think most on this forum are pretty happy with their trucks and all the different ways we use them. Look forward to seeing your pics.

Congratulations. Yes, please share your new vehicle and wrap, dark bronze sounds interesting. Had a family member visit Maine last week and see a lot of Teslas, more than in our local area. Guess you are the tip of the spear with the Cybertruck. Again Congrats.

Congratulation. I pick up my truck tomorrow Just today I saw three in my town. Funny I was looking at the TRD PRO Tundra and the Silverado Bison until I heard what it cost to fill them up at $5 a Gallon.

Nice! Yeah this was a close second for me on color choices. I saw one in that frozen black when I dropped mine off, it was awesome.

I feel obliged to share this link with everyone considering I tested it out on a daily basis to help pick a wrap color.

If you don’t mind sharing, what pricing are you getting for a wrap?

I live in the greater Boston area (just inside the 95 belt) and got whistles from $8-9k (back in December) and now around $5-6k (for Pure PPF).

No problem at all. I paid $4,500 for the full PPF job, plus tint on the front two windows (legal 35% for Maine). Note this price included (3) days of a loaner vehicle which just happens to be a brand new Model 3!
