That dash stood out to me as well. Would definitely want wood or leather or a darker matte metal.

I'm assuming that its stainless. it were were aggressive about it, it would take a patina for anything from grey to black. stainless also develops a really wide variety of colors if you heat treat it in an oven with good temperature control. there a bronze-like color that's nice, and also a blue.

I'm amused to see that so many cybertrucks have been powder coated or wrapped in vinyl.

There are car enthusiasts and Cubertruck owners. There is little overlap between these two sets.

I don’t understand. Vinyl wrapping cars is a normal thing for car people. What’s the difference?

Normal in the USA maybe? It’s very unusual here in Australia to see a wrapped car.

One of the key design points of the Cyvertruck was that brutalist "slab of shiny steel" look.

Apparently owners often want a bit more manicured looks.

What makes you draw that conclusion? The wraps and powder coating can be observed but how can you infer intent? Which one is the “car person” and which one is just a Cybertruck owner?

They both wrap their vehicles or get custom paintjobs. How can they be differentiated by vehicle appearance alone?
