When it comes to big, fat Indian weddings, there’s no limit to how far people will go to make the celebration truly unforgettable. From extravagant baraat processions that have paused traffic in places like Wall Street and Broadway, to redefining traditions with unique groom entries, we’ve seen it all. Now, adding a futuristic twist to the mix, a Tesla Cybertruck has made its way into the wedding scene, decorated in vibrant florals and leading the baraat in style. Trading the traditional ghodi for this battery-operated luxury EV, the Cybertruck stole the spotlight as it led the baraat in style.
Groom ditches the traditional ghodi to lead his baraat in a decked-up Tesla Cybertruck
In photos that have gone viral on social media, a flower-laden Cybertruck can be seen hitting the road as it prepares for its grand wedding at an Indian wedding, giving a whole new meaning to ‘arriving in time.’ The images, originally shared by Julyon JB on the Cybertruck Owners Only Facebook group, feature the electric pickup truck adorned in vibrant garlands of marigolds and roses, marking a vibrant ode to Indian wedding aesthetics.
But the flowers weren’t all! The groom, or rather, the owner of the electric beast, revealed that it took him three long days to custom wrap the Cybertruck in a shade he calls ‘Frozen Ocean’. The attention to detail and the cultural fusion of tradition with technology sparked admiration across social media, with many calling it ‘the wedding of the future.’
The custom wrap replaced the otherwise metallic shade of the Cybertrack with a matte blue shade, which, combined with floral decoration, turned the otherwise metallic, angular truck into a glamorous baraat member, and it surely turned all heads.

While the vibrant makeover of Julyon JB’s gorgeous pickup truck made headlines recently, this is interestingly not the first rodeo. Last year, another clip had gone viral, where a Cybertruck turned into a DJ console on wheels, with loudspeakers booming electrifying Bhangra beats as it cruised through a Punjabi wedding procession, creating the perfect cultural moment.
Though not at a wedding, yet another Cybertruck makeover had taken the internet by storm when a Kerala-based Dubai entrepreneur, Iqbal Hatboor, had custom-wrapped the futuristic pickup truck in the Indian flag’s tricolour. This marvel was seen on the occasion of the nation’s 78th Independence Day, and the patriotic Cybertruck zipping through Dubai’s streets went viral in no time.
About the Tesla Cybertruck
For the uninitiated, the Tesla Cybertruck is Elon Musk’s powerful entry into the electric pickup space. The fully electric vehicle, currently priced between 60,990 and 99,990 US Dollars (Rs. 62–87 lakh approx.), comes in two variants: AWD and tri-motor ‘Cyberbeast’, capable of reaching 100 kmph from 0 kmph in just 2.6 seconds. Its angular design looks more like a supercar model drawn with a ruler than your average pickup truck.
