Matte Black Cybertruck Finally Appears!! 😱 Driven by Franz Von Holzhausen

Stainless steel gets scalding hot in sunlight and its an excellent heat conductor

Getting hot over time to the touch is not the same as the amount of heat energy transferred into the body that the HVAC has to get rid of. Over time the vehicle will become heat soaked, in that a black surface will eventually heat up the internal structure of the vehicle as well. The rate of this heat increase will be proportional to the emissivity of the outside.

Black body matt is on the of the worst at 1.00 and SS is nearly half that when matt and ranges between 0.54-.63. When polished it an be as low as 0.075.

That is a big range, but black matt is by far the worst, at least 2x as bad, and as such will add twice as much heating load from sunlight from the panels of the vehicle. For cooling it is much the same, so it's only in mild climates and moderate sunlight where the effects are diminished, otherwise it is a loss.

Why do you say that?

The emissivity of the black will be less than the SS, simply because if it "looks" darker it must also absorb more light.

If it absorbs light, it absorbs energy, which in turn means that the HVAC has to compensate for it, and that uses energy which you loose fro range.

The same applies in the winter where it will be colder than the SS because black is a better radiator.

For road safety it's also probably one of the worst colours, especially at night, or parked on the side of the road.

But if you really don't want to be seen I'd get it wrapped I'd take the dark camo.
At least the energy budget will be slightly better, and you won't see all the dirt straight away.

Best to ask for sources.

Hmmm. It's pretty tight looking, but I wouldn't pay $1 for it. Factory stainless for me, thank you very much. I think in 30 years, people will still consider SS pretty avant garde, and ahead of its time.

Well around here you only get sauces by default....sometimes the ideas are so out there they are just "real life saucers"!

Cool but I’ll stick with stainless. If anything that digital camo would be my second choice.

I wouldn’t pay Tesla $11K for that wrap, but I’d pay someone for it

this is the way to go, if it holds up well

They will have pre-cut color wraps you can install yourself and you don't need the expensive self healing PPF since you really don't need to protect anything

My SS CT is NON_STICK
Even a Boomerang or ROGAN Arrow won't 'STICK'

black won’t be any warmer than stainless steel in the sun.

How do you like you eggs done in the Sun (o)

Tesla has 'TESLAQUILA'
Why NOT: 'TESLA_SECRET_SAUCES'
