Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, and Justin Bieber have all been spotted with the truck in recent months. In March, Steve Aoki joined the ranks of owners, posting an enthusiastic video that was later re-shared by Elon Musk.
And "American Idol" judge Katy Perry posted about receiving her own Cybertruck delivery Tuesday.
Despite the hype, some experts have questioned if the spottings are just a grand marketing plan orchestrated by Tesla after it launched the vehicle in late 2023. Either way, the high-profile endorsements appear to be working in the EV company's favor.
"It's got this image of a must," Winston Chesterfield, the founder of Barton, a London consulting firm focused on the wealthy, previously told Business Insider. "If you are a high-end person that wants to be seen around, you have to have the Cybertruck."
Kim Kardashian
Kardashian was one of the first celebs to publicly show off the truck.
A video posted by Musk in March showed that Steve Aoki received a Foundation Series Cybertruck.
Aoki gushed over the size of the truck in the video, calling it a "Cyberbeast."
Bad Bunny
In late February, Bad Bunny was spotted pulling up to the Utah leg of his tour in a Tesla Cybertruck.
Pharrell Williams
In early January, Pharrell Williams was photographed trying to park the truck in downtown Miami.
Williams, who appeared to be trying to parallel park the vehicle, ultimately had to leave it in the street after his failed attempt, a witness said.
Theo Von
Stand-up comedian and podcaster Theo Von was spotted driving his Cybertruck as he pulled up to a stop sign.
The host of the "This Past Weekend" podcast was filmed through the truck's windows in a video that made the rounds on social media.
NBA star Anthony Edwards
The Minnesota Timberwolves star was filmed pulling up to an NBA game in his Cybertruck.
Katy Perry
In a post on X, the "American Idol" judge posed in front of her Cybertruck and thanked Musk for the delivery.
"Looks good," the Tesla CEO replied.
Jason Kelce
Philadelphia residents have reported seeing retired Eagles player Jason Kelce driving around the city in his Cybertruck. The former athlete also appeared in a video where he pointed out the decal stickers on the back.
Kanye West
Ye and his wife Bianca Censori were spotted in April being driven around Los Angeles in a Cybertruck. It's unclear if the vehicle belongs to the rap mogul, but West and Musk have had a hot-and-cold friendship over the years.

The future is very much yet to be written about vertical farming. In many ways, the technology presents hope in the midst of rising food safety concerns, aging populations and potential environmental collapse. It’s also an intensely hard row to hoe, as it were. Early companies in the space are going to be the ones focused on driving down unit economics (hopefully) to a point where the technology makes sense from a price perspective. But sometimes being early to a party means you’re among the first to leave. Last January, we covered what looked to be an important next step for Upward Farms, as the company announced plans to open a 250,000-square-foot farm in Northeastern, Pennsylvania early this year. The Brooklyn-based firm recently announced , however, that it has closed up shop. “We found that vertical farming is almost infinitely complex — as we tackled challenges, new ones emerged,” founders Jason Green, Ben Silverman and Matt La Rosa said in an open letter. “Our team faced thes
