‘Baraat ready’: Tesla Cybertruck gets colourful Indian truck-art makeover

The Tesla Cybertruck is an unusual sight on the road, with its angular design and futuristic look. However, one Cybertruck in the United States has undergone a striking transformation that sets it apart even further. This time, the alteration was inspired by the vibrant and decorative style of Indian truck art. Original Global Graphics, a vinyl wrapping company based in the United States, showcased the finished result on Instagram, where the vehicle's metallic appearance was replaced by a brilliant array of colours, intricate patterns, and artwork reminiscent of Indian trucks.

The silver exterior has been adorned with vivid hues, detailed designs, and motifs commonly found on vehicles in India. Among the most striking additions is the phrase "Dekho, magar pyaar se" (roughly translated as "Look at it, but with love") displayed across the front of the truck. This phrase is accompanied by similar colourful artwork that wraps around the sides, covering most of the vehicle's original, minimalist appearance.

The video documenting the transformation captures the owner examining the wrap from various angles, expressing just how dramatically the Cybertruck has been altered, turning a plain metal pickup into an attention-grabbing, elaborately decorated vehicle.

The makeover quickly gained attention on social media, with users expressing strong opinions about the colorful version. Some users preferred this look over the Cybertruck's original appearance, while others jokingly compared it to the decorative trucks frequently seen on Indian roads. One user playfully remarked, "Garbage Bin changed into mithayi ala dabba" (Trash turned into a serving bowl), while another stated, "I can already see this in the baraat next wedding!"

(I can already see this at the next wedding). A third user humorously noted, "Missed out on the iconic ‘Horn OK Please’," implying that this modified Cybertruck no longer featured the familiar warning phrase commonly seen on Indian trucks. Lastly, one comment joked, "Bro misunderstood Cybertruck to a truck!!"
