Are you tired of the Tesla Cybertruck's stainless steel look? Well, you're in luck, especially if you plan to buy one, as multiple examples are looking for new homes with different finishes or wraps.
The one pictured above immediately stands out due to its satin-black look. Advertised by a California dealer based in San Diego, the electric pickup in question sports a dark hue on all body panels, and if you look closely at its front fenders, you will see a dedicated logo.
It says Foundation Series, meaning that it is one of just 20,000 copies that will see the light of day in this configuration. Those interested in such a model can get it in Tactical Gray at no extra cost and with a gray interior that is more dirt-proof compared to the white one.
A new wheel and tire package also debuted for the Cybertruck at the same time as the Foundation Series broke cover. You're looking at all-terrain tires with 35 inches in diameter instead of the 35-inch off-road-focused all-season rubber. The aero covers have a different shape here and are a bit smaller than the regular ones, and this combo is said to improve the car's driving range.

If you're a Tesla fan, you have noticed that the pictured Cybertruck does not feature the new wheels and tires. In fact, it comes with a set of multi-spoke alloys wrapped in chunky rubber. The center caps sport the company's logo in yellow, and the same hue can also be seen on the brake calipers and on the Foundation Series logo that decorates the front fenders. The Cybertruck logo is displayed on the tailgate in the same color, and this vehicle also has privacy windows.
Looking like a high-riding fighter jet for the road from a dystopian movie, this Tesla Cyber was for sale at one point. However, since the dealer posted the ad on social media, the vehicle found itself a new owner. Are you curious how much they paid for it? Well, so are we, yet unfortunately, the vendor hasn't mentioned the Benjamins at all. Still, we have to remind you that the Foundation Series adds a $20,000 premium to the equivalent regular variant, and that's a lot of money.
Tesla's US website reveals a starting price of $60,990 for the base rear-wheel drive version of the Cybertruck, with a 250-mile (402 km) range and the ability to do 0-60 mph (0-97 kph) in 6.6 seconds. The all-wheel drive model starts at $79,990, drops the acceleration time to 4.1 seconds, and can travel 340 miles (547 km) between charges. The Cyberbeast tops the lineup with a $99,990 MSRP, 0-60 in 2.6 seconds, and a 320-mile (515 km) range.
