You can 'dark mode' your Cybertruck, but it'll cost you $6,500
One distinction Tesla's Cybertruck has when compared to most cars is that it comes with no paint as standard.
That's not Tesla trying to squeeze more dollars out of buyers (OK, maybe it is), that's a feature: the car has a stainless steel body and needs no paint to protect it. On its website, Tesla actually has a video showing various objects bumping off of Cybertruck's body and leaving no mark.
But what if you want something else? Something...darker? Well, you can have it, but it will cost you.

As for colors, you get two options: Satin Black and Satin White.
