You know, I really don’t hate the idea of buying a car without a finish and then getting a custom job after the fact. If there’s a silver lining on the Cybertruck debacle, its the steel frame that you can do up however you like.
But holy fuck is that thing not the most “My 4-year-old’s favorite Hotwheels” ass chassis design. An absolute embarrassment of automotive engineering.
Small electric trucks/SUVs that are intended to be very cheap and barebones stock, but also very modular and very upgradeable, so you add the features you want. Including it being pretty much a given that you’re going to wrap it in the colors of your choice.
They’re not on the market yet, but I have high hopes.

you sorta have to do them up, or they start coming apart at the seams
You should look into the Slate electric trucks.

Unfortunately owned by Bezos…
From what I’ve heard, Amazon is a major investor, but not the majority owner.
I may not have heard the full story, though.
No, that’s accurate.
Not to be a nerd but the frame (edit: unibody actually) is cast aluminum, they just glue bits on top
Gotta make my aluminium look rusty.
You could do that with any car. Like, one that actually works.
I mean, I’d like to see you put a mirror finish on an off-the-lot Honda Civic.
But yes, the truck part of the truck is garbage.
Nobody sells cars with bare metal body work.
Would be a cool look though, with just clear coat to keep it nice.
