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."
