Kim Kardashian is among the celebrities who own a Cybertruck, the electric pickup truck from Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) that began deliveries in November 2023.
While some celebrities have used custom wraps for their Cybertrucks, Kardashian recently had her vehicle painted.
What Happened: The Cybertruck is delivered as a paintless vehicle due to its unique stainless steel exterior, something that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has praised as part of the design.
"I specifically wanted to make something that looks like the future. What car would Blade Runner drive?" Musk previously said.
Musk has often spoken about the unique design and stainless steel frame, but doesn't seem to be opposed to customization by owners with various wraps.
One question will be how Musk feels about Kardashian having her Cybertruck painted.
Platinum Motorsport Group, a California custom vehicle tuner, highlighted the Cybertruck on Instagram, as reported by Electrek.
"Yes, it's a satin metallic silver. We have came up with a special formula for her and all her vehicles are painted that color. There are similar wraps, but not quite this," Platinum Motorsport told a user who asked if the vehicle had a wrap.
What's unknown is if the vehicle in the images shared by Platinum is a Cybertruck previously owned by Kardashian, or if she got a new one. Kardashian previously showed off her Cybertruck in February with a caption of "cool carpool mom."
Musk may approve of the futuristic looking silver color and Platinum's caption of "outta space type of sh%."
Kardashian has previously shown off her collection of high-end vehicles, all painted the same custom color on her social media accounts.
The images shared by Platinum of the Cybertruck show the body, trims and bumpers all painted the custom silver color. As Electrek notes, several of these painted items are black. Another change to Kardashian's Cybertruck is the 26" Forgiato Travis Scott forged wheels, which replace the base 20" wheels.

Why It's Important: The Cybertruck has attracted plenty of celebrities as owners, a point that Musk has often celebrated.
Among the owners of Cybertruck are Big Sean, Steve Aoki, Alexis Ohanian, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Justin Bieber and Jay Leno.
The Cybertruck has been used in music videos and was recently featured in a beer advertisement from former NFL player Jason Kelce.
Jay-Z and Beyonce have a black matte wrap on their Cybertruck, which earned the one-word response of "nice" from Musk on social media.
Musk likely doesn't care whether celebrities get wraps or paint their Cybertrucks, what he does care about is the electric pickup truck being a top seller in the sector and among vehicles in its price range.
