There was no way in the world Kim Kardashian could have stayed away from the Cybertruck hype. She was one of the first customers to have it delivered. Now, she prioritizes it over her Mercedes and Rolls-Royce models and drove it to Starbucks.
Kim Kardashian has been spotted out and about driving her brand-new Cybertruck. Considering Kim K’s preference for Ghost Gray, it is a wonder that she has not changed the looks of her Cybertruck yet to match her mansion in California. But that is probably just a matter of time.

She paid $100,000 to get her Rolls-Royce Phantom, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Lamborghini Urus painted in gray. But the Cybertruck, with its stainless steel body, is next to impossible to paint. So, she will have to settle for wrapping instead of painting it.

The Tesla aftermarket customization shops are so many and have such generous offers that it won’t be any trouble for her to find one to wrap her electric truck. However, she prefers Platinum Motorsport, the team that has worked on all her cars.

The 42-year-old billionaire has recently driven her not-Ghost-Gray Cybertruck to Starbucks and posted about the drive on social media. She uploaded photos that look like paparazzi type of shots in the parking lot of the coffee shop. She accompanied the photo gallery with the caption "I’ll be your shotgun rider til the day I die."

There is no hint to whom she may refer. Wearing a white crop top and flared leather pants, Kim isn’t going into the passenger seat, though. So, the “shotgun rider” part is not quite accurate.

Besides, Kim has already admitted that she was a car girl. So, she is not exactly the kind of VIP that would prefer being chauffeured around. She drives her own limousines, SUVs, and trucks.

Her visit to Starbucks prompted her followers to criticize her choice. The reason why she came under fire was that she allegedly staged an advert in the Starbucks parking lot. The PR stunt would reportedly counter an $11 billion loss following global calls for a boycott.

Starbucks and the union workers’ union have been suing each other over a social media post last October. The coffee shop chain accused Workers United of violating its trademark by using the name and logo of the company to express solidarity with Palestinians in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In return, Workers United filed their own suit, accusing Starbucks of implying that the union supports terrorism and violence.

Back in December, the company’s CEO, Laxman Narasimhan, said that several Starbucks stores around the world, the US included, have faced acts of vandalism. So, we can all see what Kim K is doing there with the world’s most talked about electric truck for the past few months. However, she looks great while at it.
