“Cyber Wheels” are now “Mantle Wheels” huh?

Maybe they will rename Cybertruck to Mantletruck so we get fewer middle fingers?

That was real important, to change the name of the wheels in the app... Sheesh.

I think the name change coinciding with the beginning of cyber cab production probably means Franz (or someone else) thinks the term cyberwheels is better suited to describing these.

Cybercab wheels is a great thought. Seeing that picture, I wonder how they are going to keep that wheel cover from digging into the sidewalls like the original cyber wheel covers did?

The 'Standard' steelie wheels are also called 'Molten' wheels now.

They're going to change the name of the cybertruck to volcano?

I think this thing looks awful with the glossy paint. The flat was so much cooler and more modern. AND this molten, core, mantle rebranding of cybertruck wheels is LAME! What’s happening over there?

Yeah. Flat PPF will likely be my first mod. Maybe some black cybercab rocker trim

Cybertruck will soon be rebranded as the Volcanotruck?!?

Oh, snap just saw the post by @65SoYoLO. He called it "Volcano" 1st

I live near where they test the Cybercab and it is striking every time it drives by, I always save the dash cam when I see it. This glossy updated is too much like other vehicles, it somehow loses the futuristic uniqueness it once had. This reminds me of the gold paint they used on Accords in the early 2000s.

Extra thought, I always wonder how much the "driver" in the test Cybercab is doing. Is he an engineer taking critical notes? Or is he some minimum wage guy sitting there doing nothing, because Tesla is legally obligated to have a body in the car?

I love it haha I think it looks very nice when it's shiny.
