That will be the the Tesla F-117 Truck, with radar absorbing vantablack paint

While I did snicker at the thought of a Vantablack'ed Cybertruck, I think it'd be a dangerous vehicle to have on the roads - your visibility would be so low.
It’d be dangerous for self driving cars because LIDAR has trouble picking up deep black colours since it doesn’t reflect back any light.

daytime running lights are required in many places along with other lights and the windows.
> everything but the cutesy front headlights
I think I agree. I feel like it'd like it better if the headlights were inset as vertical stripes rather than rounded.
My thought process went something like, "Oh come on, how bad can they really be? I bet you could <clicks on link> just put... something... over... No. Nope, those are irredeemable."
There's an awful, awful lot of virtue signalling going on in all of these designs. Extra emphasis on the 'awful'.
I'd slightly prefer a blacked out Tesla truck to that. The main problem with the front/back of the Cybertruck is the it's very flat and plain where even a licence plate or name decal would make it look better. But I have a feeling it will look better in person than online.
