President-elect Donald J. Trump traveled to SpaceX's most recent Super Heavy rocket launch in Texas on Tuesday and a new guest vehicle was spotted in his motorcade.
In a video posted by Margo Martin, President-elect Trump's deputy director of communications and former White House press assistant, a Tesla Cybertruck stands out within the pack of Chevrolets and Fords that made up the convoy in Boca Chica, Texas near SpaceX's Starship launch pad.

When asked about the details on the Cybertruck's role in the motorcade, the United States Secret Service declined to provide specifics to Road & Track.
"For operational security reasons, the Secret Service cannot discuss the specific means, or methods utilized to carry out our protective responsibilities. Our motorcades our comprised of Secret Service and non-agency vehicles. These vehicles are used by security personnel, staff, guests, and other law enforcement partners," a Secret Service spokesperson told R&T.
We'd wager the Cybertruck wasn't used in an official Secret Service capacity in the motorcade, but rather likely operated by a pal of the president-elect.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk invited Trump to watch the rocket launch at SpaceX's facility and departed after the rocket landed in the Gulf of Mexico, indicating it could be the executive inside his own cult creation.

Musk was heavily involved in campaigning for Trump's re-election, going as far as donating $16 million of his own money in cash to swing state voters to express public support for the president-elect.
He's since been named as a co-leader of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency. Beyond these official appointments, Musk has consistently joined the president-elect on the public stage and is quickly becoming one of his top lieutenants.
Will the Cybertruck continue to make appearances in Trump's motorcades? Only time will tell.
