NY Giants' Isiah Simmons wraps his Cybertruck in matte white
Vehicles - CybertruckFrom the article:
Reportedly, this custom Matte White Cybertruck wrap cost Isaah a hefty $50K.
Absolutely absurd price if true.
Wtf he paid 10x normal. You could wrap the car in real $100 bills and it’d be cheaper…
Well now you got me curious.
You'd need 500 $100 bills to hit $50k.
Surface area of the body of the truck, divided by the area of a bill...
According to dimensions.com, the Cybertruck is 75" high, 79.8" wide, and 231.7" long. This is overall, so we'll have to mess with the area estimate a bit to account for windows, which don't get wrapped.
It looks like the windows take up maybe 20% of the area of the sides, and roughly 50% of the front. We're gonna assume the roof isn't wrapped because of the windshield, sunroof, and bed all kinda joining up there.
So the sides are roughly 231.7 × 75 × 2 × 0.8 = 27,804 square inches.
And the front is roughly 79.8 × 75 × 0.5 = 2,992.5 square inches.
Let's add 1,915.2 square inches for the back panel, which looks roughly 24 inches tall and is 79.8" wide.
27,804 + 2,992.5 + 1,915.2 = 32,711.7 square inches.
The area of a $100 bill is 6.14" × 2.61" = 16.03 square inches.
32,711.7 ÷ 16.03 = 2,040.7
You'd need 2,041 $100 bills to totally cover a Cybertruck. That would of course cost you $204,100. This is a good bit more than the $50,000 Simmons paid.
But if he wrapped his truck in $20 bills, it'd be cheaper.
I fucking love math.
Edit: u/purpledraak corrected me. 442.88 square feet is 65,214.72 square inches, not 5,434.56. I still fucking love math.
Edit: u/notnathan made a good point that my/ChatGPT's surface area estimate of 65,214.72 is too high. I replaced GPT with an actual source, and some envelope math. It took a village.
452.88 square feet is 65,214.72 square inches
You're right! That definitely changes things. I'll update my comment. Thank you :)
How many is that in smoots?
The smoot is a measure of length, not area, no? Perhaps we need a square smoot measurement?
Damn no way, this is just on the body panels right?there’s a lot of glass. I believe you, just sounds like a ton of bills haha
If you believe ChatGPT! That's where I got the estimates.
It does sound like a lot of bills. Without exact measurements or someone willing to waste a lot of money, we'll probably have to settle for my little word problem here.
That area has to be wrong. A sheet of plywood is 32 sqft. Think about the truck. Maybe 4-5 sheets. 150 sqft?
I looked into it to see if you're right. According to the way-too-pink dimensions.com, the Cybertruck is 75" tall, 79.8" wide, and 231.7" long.
So the sides would be (very roughly) 231.7 × 75 × 2 = 34,755 square inches.
The front and back would be (again, very roughly) 75 × 79.8 × 2 = 11,970 square inches.
34,755 + 11,970 = 46,725. And this includes the windows and such.
So you're right, the actual coverable surface area is almost certainly not 65,214.72.
Guess I'll go back and redo the math. Oy.
maybe included the wheels? but still.....
Yeah that would be like 45k wheels. Maybe really custom forged ones but even then 10k a corner is HIGH, you can get carbon fiber wheels at that price. However you dice it, homie got ripped off.
Maybe there's other work not disclosed like custom interior work and suspension/underbody? I'd be terrified of touching the CT's suspension but custom mods might actually go that high as a result.
You meant absurd right?
yeah, typo fixed. Thanks.
Especially for likely one of the easiest cars to wrap. Ever.
lmao someone got ripped the fuck off.
With it being white, it looks like if 1980's Lamborghini made a Countach truck.

They sort-of did.. They built the LM002 in 1986..
Lamborghini LM002
That's basically the reason I placed an order.

They look much better in any color but stainless steel
It's the love child of a Lamborghini Countach and Pontiac Aztek.
Bruh what, it looks like some poorly put together IKEA furniture.
As I understand it, that would also describe 80s Lamborghini. They were nothing like the VAG umbrella vehicles of today
lol. You're not wrong.
They did make one
"This color can be called Matte White because it resembles clouds and feels like snow."
😂
Hehe!
As a cardinals fan who watched this guy play football - he should save his money..
I've seen that before.
It’s gorgeous and so are the wheels. Also to add the dude looks sharp! 😍
The white wrap is fine. But that white wheels, drive for ten minutes and it's gray wheels and ugly AF.
Mostly true, but Tesla's generate a lot less brake thanks to regenerative braking.
Yes great point!! Especially in areas where it doesn’t rain often.
It does look pretty cool. Reminds me of Ultra Magnus.
My opinion is that this is so ugly, the white wheels are awful.
Musk was inspired by the white Lotus in The Spy Who Loved Me, so this works pretty well.
Was he in Miami because I saw a white one here
Honestly, the Cybertruck looks good in white.
Sorry but is this sub just going to post a new article each time someone paints their car? There is a lot going on with tesla that seems to be ignored in here. Wild times.
It's actually pretty weird to be interested in tesla while wanting to avoid being exposed to pictures of cars
I think they’re more interested in Tesla news, not fluff like this
caught slippery slope fallacy in action!
Such as? You probably don't like Tesla and just want to see negative news for some weird reason, but pretty much every significant piece of news about Tesla is posted here.
Sorry but is this sub just going to post a new article each time someone paints their car?
Yes
The Forgiatos suck. The wrap is fine, but why he wrapped the trim is beyond me. That’s what really killed the look (not in a good way).
Isaiah's matte white is better. He also wrapped the bumpers and used different matching aero wheel covers.
PJ is a good human.
Sinclair C5 on steroids.
LOL!
Cool dishwasher
Oh nice. Its looks like shit in matte white too.
This remains the single ugliest vehicle ever conceived by a child.
I mean that’s the thing about looks, it’s subjective. I quite like the look of the Cybertruck, though that rust wrap posted a few weeks ago remains my favourite.
I like Chinese electric car styling
Ahh the sweet smell of brutal autocracy.
standing out is everything!
But when it comes to this truck, I’d rather sit in than stand out
No accounting for taste
Yuck
Looks like it brushed up against something on the right front lower bumper.
Don't they make white ones already?
Pontiac Aztec vibes
The white looks meh. It honestly just looks like they took the white paint off a Polestar, lol. But to each their own, I guess.
Polestar vibe, like it.
Is it stronger than the basic steel?
I hope he didn't get ripped off for $250k on that cybertruck
