After two years of simply describing the futuristic Cybertruck and leaving very few breadcrumbs of the stainless-steel monster, Tesla has finally produced its first road-ready unit, with an actual launch scheduled for the end of September.
Ahead of its debut, though, the sci-fi-esque vehicle has already been spotted in the flesh a handful of times, including while dressed in camouflage. A recent sighting of the truck has left fans thoroughly amused; first shared by Cybertruck Owners Club, it sees the yet-to-be-released Tesla model on the road, wrapped in imagery to make it appear like a Toyota Tundra.

It’s not the first time the Cybertruck has mimicked the appearance of a rivaling truck in public. Last month, the vehicle was also seen in the wild disguised as a Ford F-150, Electrek reports.

The choice of skins is interesting, seeing as how CEO Elon Musk was purportedly bored of existing designs of pickup trucks, which sparked an interest to build the Cybertruck. Were these attempts to troll the competition? Did Halloween arrive early this year? Who knows?
There’s also a possibility that the company will offer themed wraps for the Cybertruck. All will be made clear when the model officially takes to the roads.
