We received our first shipment of magnetic vinyl sheet rolls to create our first panel kits. Because we hadn't yet received our own Cybertruck, we were going to create our first templates from a PPF kit we acquired a couple of months ago. Now, we have learned that we are getting our own Cybertruck in only a few weeks, so we're just going to wait until we have the actual truck, rather than create the die stamps on faith from those PPF templates and possibly be off measurement by several millimeters. These panel kits are going to have to be an exact fit due to the straight edges of the Cybertruck or they won't look good. This is the same reason Elon was so particular about the fit of the stainless steel body panels in the first place.

I apologize for the long wait, but I don't want to rush anything to market until it reaches perfection. We don't want you guys to be our beta testers!
That all makes sense. I just like to check in now and then :) Definitely the right call to wait until you have your truck to make the templates.

Do you have the front wrap that I believe you said would be available before the entire wrap of the vehicle?

We are testing a potential issue that may arise with the magnetic frunk hood cover that could interfere with engaging the electronic latch to open the frunk. Apparently, there may be interference between the magnetism of the cover and the solenoid that opens the frunk. We want to work out any kinks before these hit the market.

What's the latest on timeline for full kits?
Since we just took delivery of our own Cybertruck for testing a few days ago, we are hoping for mid to late October.

What is the status of the wraps? Do you feel like you have conquered the possibility of the wind/aerodynamic issues produced at significant speeds? any update on the timeline?

Sorry for the delayed response. We just got back from a cross-country trip with our new test Cybertruck vehicle. We are taking it into the factory hopefully next week to do extensive testing on various thickness covers to see which one works best for adhesion. This will determine what materials we need to purchase in bulk to begin production. Thank you for your patience!
