Kim Kardashian Is the "Cool Carpool Mom" With Her New Tesla Cybertruck

In the KarJenner universe, anything that would earn the "trendsetter" badge is desirable and actively sought out because it further cements that family member's reputation as one of her gazillion fans and followers. It's true, Kim Kardashian, arguably the most famous member of the Klan, has grown somehow more discreet in recent years, but every occasion to flex a celebrity muscle (or two) is duly embraced.

This long introduction serves as context for Kim being uncharacteristically un-Kim-like. She's apparently refusing to flaunt her latest status symbol, a recently-delivered Tesla Cybertruck. It's not like it's a secret that she bought one because she'd already teased it on social media ahead of Super Bowl weekend, but rather that she's being very ungenerous with the details.

Or maybe that's just the new way to flex: do it in a way that looks as if you're not doing it, a sort of humble-bragging – but with cars and on social media. For the second time since delivery, Kim is teasing her fans with just a glimpse of the Cybertruck and the caption "cool carpool mom," hinting that it's her new favorite daily driver.

If Kim Kardashian is really driving her kids to school in Elon Musk's e-truck, then she sure earns the cool carpool mom badge. Even if the Cybertruck doesn't quite fit Kim's overall aesthetic, which extends to her mansion, her fleet of custom rides, and even her private jet.

As we were saying a short while ago, when she first posted about the Cybertruck, Kim is all about gray right now. For her cars, she favors a shade called Ghost Gray, which the guys at Platinum Motorsports created just for her so it fit the paintjob on her mansion. Her private jet, a fully-tricked-out Gulfstream G650ER valued at $150 million, is painted a matching shade of gray but is decked in natural colors and beiges inside.

The Cybertruck, which began deliveries in November 2023, four years after the much-hyped introduction, only comes in steel gray and offers no in-factory color options because the 300 series stainless steel that the body is made from is impossible to paint. So unless Kim opts for a wrap, she'll have to make do with a car that is not Ghost Gray.

As for the recent hubbub that the Cybertruck gets rust spots after just a few days out in the rain, Kim is clearly not worried. She can always order another one: money is not an issue, though the long waiting list might be.
