Like it or not (I don't), Tesla's Cybertruck keeps dropping jaws wherever it goes. Camera lenses stick to it like stains on a mattress, and the company hopes to cash in big on that custom design sprinkled with many technology features.
They say any publicity is good, whether positive or negative, and the Tesla Cybertruck has had its fair share of both. Like all brand-new flashy rides, it has become an internet sensation and a common sight in the garages of the rich and famous.
Numerous celebrities have already spruced up their (temporary) collections with this battery-electric pickup truck, and the list is extensive. Recently, Lil Baby, a 29-year-old American rapper known as Dominique Armani Jones when he is not holding the mic or filming various things, joined the list.
According to everyone's favorite online encyclopedia, Jones is an award-winning artist with numerous trophies under his belt. His car collection includes or used to include multiple hot rides, from the Chevy Corvette ZR1 and McLaren 765LT to the Mercedes G-Wagen, Lamborghini Urus, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and several old-timers.

As of recently, Lil Baby has added a Tesla Cybertruck to that (partial) list, and since he wanted it to stand out more (as if it didn't in stock form), he chose to customize it. As a result, instead of the run-of-the-mill silver look of the stainless steel body panels, his electric workhorse features a glossy red wrap, which was applied to the entire exterior, including the components that normally have a black design.
The privacy windows contribute to the aftermarket makeover, and should you ask Forgiato about it, the icing on the cake would be the new alloys. The wheelmaker signed this set, which does not look that good on the Tesla Cybertruck, whereas Roadshow International appears to have been responsible for the custom wrap job, as Forgiato mentions this company in the short caption on social media that accompanies the images shared above.
Speaking of that, we cannot ignore the vehicle's sighting at a gas station, next to a pump, with its owner proudly sitting on the roof. This is a battery-electric ride that would feel more comfortable in the vicinity of a power station—or one of the numerous Tesla Superchargers.
Now, this would not be our first idea for modifying a Tesla Cybertruck, as we think it looks better with the stock silver look on OEM wheels. But then again, we'd (okay, I'd) never buy such a model, no matter how hot some may think it is, as it is nothing more than an overrated gadget on wheels. Before releasing hate in the comments area below, take a look at Lil Baby's brand-new car and tell us what you think of it.
