A Tesla Cybertruck owner has managed to fix a dent in his truck by himself, which also saved him quite a lot of money.
When this Cybertruck owner dented his car, Tesla quoted him $3,000 to fix it.
That’s not exactly cheap, so the owner ignored Tesla and tried of a couple of DIY solutions.
One of them worked, and it only cost him $25.

How the Cybertruck owner managed to save around $3,000
The Cybertruck is an unpainted car that’s covered in steel body panels.
In theory, it shouldn’t rust, and it’s also supposed to be bulletproof as well as dentproof.
In practice, it is evidently possible to dent it.
The problem this owner faced was that Tesla had quoted $3,000 to fix the truck’s panel.
That’s $828 for the panel itself, and then the rest in labor.
The Cybertruck owner thought that was a bit much so he tried fixing it by hymself.
He tried a couple of different things, which didn’t work, and then one that did.
Using a suction cup on a warm panel did the trick.
Anthony, the Cybertruck owner, documented his DIY job on his YouTube channel, Detroit Tesla, and the video is quite satisfying to watch.
The thing Tesla did that no one else had ever thought of
No one had ever built an all-steel production car with no paint before.
This means that you can only buy Cybertruck with one paint option, which isn’t even paint.
Shortly after launching the truck, Tesla promised they would create a variety of ‘factory’ wrap options customers could select.
But they were not cheap, and people mostly ignored them, which also meant Cybertruck owners saw this as an opportunity to properly go to town with DIY wraps.
That’s why we’ve seen the Iron Man wrap, the digital camo one and even one that made it look like a Toyota Tundra, although some say that was a prank on the part of the company itself.
But the best wrap is the one you see above.
It is actual from synthetic fur, turning the Tesla Cybertruck into the CyBEARtruck.
