If this is real and setting aside the steaming pile that is the Cybertruck... The effort required to polish that much stainless steel to that level of finish is astounding.

Poor taste but amazing execution!

I doubt it's polished. It's probably a mirror wrap. Much cheaper and less effort.

Ah, yeah, that makes way more sense. TIL mirror wrap is a thing.

There's a company that does mirror polishes of them. I remember seeing a clip from some car show. They'd done a dozen or something, and it was mainly a guy just sitting there using an angle grinder and a big buffer/polishing wheel.

Was going to mention this as well. There's definitely companies out there who do exactly this sort of mirror polish on cybertrucks.

People definitely have polished one of these to a mirror shine though. It looked awesome.
