Over 50 modified Cybertrucks lit up the streets around Giga Texas during X Takeover Giga Texas 2026, proving owners are already pushing the truck's customization limits hard.
The event landed right at the Austin factory gates on the same weekend as Austin City Limits, drawing huge crowds and plenty of Tesla energy. I flew in the day before to scout Cybercab robotaxi Austin options and check out the pre-event scene.
Cybercab sightings Austin set the tone early
No robotaxis waited at the airport, so an Uber Model 3 handled the ride instead. Once downtown, the app showed Cybercab availability in under four minutes. Spotting three gold units in one afternoon made it clear the fleet is expanding fast in Austin. That quiet, driverless ride difference hit me immediately compared to the chatty Uber driver.
Cybertruck LED lights Giga Texas stole the night
Walking the lots revealed wild builds everywhere. One Florida owner's truck featured full RGB side strips, wheel-well lighting, and a programmable front bar synced for chase patterns. Another had a custom rear LED panel flashing "TLGEN sexy" above a Starlink mount. These Cybertruck LED lights Giga Texas setups turned heads after dark and showed how owners are solving the factory side-lighting gaps for camping.
Inside the X Takeover at Giga Texas
The main event sat literally behind the factory. Tesla showed customer vehicles and let people test drive. A red Model Y with the rear wing stood out as the rumored Long Range variant. Vendors filled the halls with wraps, accessories, and even a vacuum company using vision-only tech similar to FSD.
Nikki Minaj's pink Cybertruck wrap from DIY Wrap Club drew constant photos. The original test-mule Cybertruck, covered in battle scars and RC Build Engineering markings, reminded everyone how far the design has come.
For Tesla owners this means more local events are shifting to Texas, making it easier to see real-world mods without flying to California. The mix of factory presence and owner creativity points to even bigger turnouts next year.
