Pharrell Williams Unveils New Cybertruck Amidst Louis Vuitton Debut
Pharrell’s Dazzling Entrance in Miami
Renowned artist and creative director of menswear for Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams, made a striking appearance in Miami, Florida, driving his recently delivered Cybertruck.
The event coincided with the debut of his Spring Summer 2024 collection at the Louis Vuitton store.
While the vibrant pieces from Williams’ collection were noteworthy, it was the stainless steel Cybertruck that stole the spotlight, parked boldly in the middle of the street.
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
Photographs of the eye-catching electric vehicle (EV) surfaced online, sparking discussions on social media platform X.
Some users expressed disappointment, questioning why celebrities like Williams were receiving deliveries ahead of the general public.
Despite reservations for the Cybertruck exceeding two million, certain users criticized the apparent preferential treatment for celebrities.
However, others celebrated Williams’ new acquisition, expressing joy for the artist.
Pharrell’s Unique Role in Louis Vuitton
As the creative director of menswear for Louis Vuitton, Pharrell Williams took a moment to visit the Melrose Avenue location.
There, he explored his line of luggage, book bags, shoes, and more.
The silver ‘Armageddon’ Cybertruck, with its distinctive design, drew attention as it pulled up outside the modern Louis Vuitton store, capturing the curiosity of onlookers.
Williams, known for his friendly demeanor, took the time to pose for photographs with fans before heading into the store.
Celebrities in the Cybertruck Club
Pharrell Williams is among several celebrities enjoying early access to the highly anticipated Tesla Cybertruck.
The list includes Serena Williams, who has been spotted cruising in one, and filmmaker Spike Lee, who has revealed his spot on the reservation list.
Elon Musk officially commenced deliveries on December 1 at Tesla’s Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, during a live-streamed event.
Insights into Cybertruck Features and Price Adjustments
Elon Musk provided insights into the Cybertruck’s features during the event, emphasizing its stainless steel alloy body, corrosion resistance, and mass-production capabilities.
However, there was no mention of the subsequent price increases during the 25-minute event.
The base model now starts at $61,000, while the all-wheel drive and Cyberbeast versions are priced at $79,990 and $99,990, respectively.
Tesla’s Production Plans and Challenges
Tesla’s website indicates that the rear-wheel drive Cybertruck is slated for availability in 2025, with the all-wheel drive and Cyberbeast expected to launch in 2024.
Despite the waitlist exceeding two million reservations, with a $100 down payment required, the shipping timeline remains uncertain.
Elon Musk mentioned a production goal of around 250,000 Cybertrucks annually by 2025.
However, he acknowledged the “enormous challenges” faced in achieving volume production due to the Cybertruck’s innovative technology and unconventional design, which could potentially alienate traditional pickup truck buyers focused on utility.
