Like it or not, the Tesla Cybertruck has been front and center of immense hype since its attention-grabbing debut in late 2019. Whether you’re a Tesla fan, a techie, or simply an average person who spends time on the internet, it’s likely that you’ve encountered news about Tesla’s first pickup truck and formed a strong opinion about it.

The Cybertruck has been in the limelight due to its unconventional design that defies the traditional idea of automotive design. Unlike other cars on the road today with rounded corners and aerodynamic curves, the Cybertruck boasts sharp edges and bold, unconventional angles. With an exterior resembling the polygonal vehicles found in early video games, saying the Cybertruck is a departure from the norm is a massive understatement.

With that said, many people know what the Cybertruck looks like, but what about the inside? Today, we talk about the Tesla Cybertruck interior features and everything else you need to know. Let’s take a look.

Breakdown of Tesla Cybertruck Interior Features

Like the exterior, the Cybertruck’s interior is just as unique but somewhat less polarizing.

Overall Interior Design

The Tesla Cybertruck boasts an interior design that complements its unconventional and daring exterior. Upon entering the cabin, you’ll immediately notice the sharp, angular lines throughout the dashboard region. The dashboard itself features a minimalist, flat surface design with a steering wheel and a sizable 17-inch touchscreen that seems to emerge seamlessly from it.

The Cybertruck’s design is noticeably minimalistic, focusing on practicality over aesthetics. Even the seats, although visibly cushioned, don’t seem to prioritize comfort as their primary objective, opting for a more utilitarian approach instead. This streamlined interior design fits in with the Cybertruck’s overall theme of challenging traditional automotive norms and embracing a more futuristic and industrial style.

Getting Inside the Cybertruck

When you step into the cabin of the Tesla Cybertruck, you might feel like you’re entering a scene from a science fiction movie. To get inside, you need to press a sleek rectangular button located above each door’s upper left corner. Once you press the button, the door will pop open slightly, and you can easily swing it open using the ”non-handle” located next to the window. The stainless-steel panel is surprisingly easy to open, even though it doesn’t have the fully automated opening mechanism of some high-end luxury vehicles like the latest BMW 7 Series.

Upon entering the Cybertruck, you’ll notice the scuff plate with the infamous Cybertruck logo. The logo has a debossed, welded texture that might be either jarring or intriguing, depending on who you ask. Once inside, you will find that the front seats are well-cushioned and offer excellent bolstering, ensuring a comfortable ride. Additionally, the seats are equipped with heating and cooling ventilation, which falls within expectations for a luxury pickup truck such as this.


ARE TESLAS RELIABLE?

Is Tesla just coasting by on name power alone? The sales figures are pretty reliable, but are Teslas reliable? We take a closer look.


The Driver’s View

As you slide behind the wheel of the Tesla Cybertruck, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the spacious and airy feel of the cabin. The dashboard stretches out before you, while the expansive windshield extends high above, giving you a sense of openness and an impressive view of the road ahead.

However, one of the most criticized Tesla Cybertruck interior features is the rearward visibility, which is somewhat compromised by significant blind spots. The rear glass can be blocked by a motorized tonneau cover, requiring the use of an on-screen camera to view the area behind the truck.

Fortunately, Tesla’s camera systems are equipped with high-resolution displays and refresh quickly, ensuring you can monitor the rear without discomfort or motion sickness. This setup helps maintain a clear and comfortable view, making it easier to drive safely even when the physical view is obscured.

Interior Material and Quality

The Cybertruck’s interior boasts additional trim elements that add a touch of sophistication to the otherwise standard Tesla interior. However, the overall design maintains a minimalist look, aligning with the manufacturer’s design philosophy. The cabin is a mix of softer materials that complement the vehicle’s angular exterior, which strikes a nice balance between the two elements.

Passenger Space, Cargo and Storage

Despite its unconventional exterior, the Cybertruck provides plenty of storage options for passengers. It features a large bin beneath the front armrest, two uniquely shaped hexagonal cupholders, and a spacious compartment between the driver’s and passenger’s legs that can even fit a suitcase.

The vehicle comes equipped with a glovebox that smoothly opens and closes using an electric mechanism, providing generous space for storing personal items such as a laptop. Moving to the vehicle’s rear, passengers will find a simple three-seater bench. A nice twist is that the seat cushions can be easily folded up, and the rear door opens to a full 90 degrees, making it convenient to load items or even take a comfortable nap.

Tech-Rich Environment

It’s not a Tesla if it’s not loaded to the brim with serious tech – and the Cybertruck is no exception. The crown jewel of the Tesla Cybertruck interior features is undoubtedly the impressive 18.5-inch touchscreen, which acts as a central hub for various functions, including the speedometer, driver assistance systems, and infotainment features.

As expected, the graphics are sharp, and the screen is user-friendly, allowing easy navigation. Passengers will be impressed by its sleek design. Apart from the fan-favorite features like Arcade, Theater, and Toybox, the touchscreen also has an interactive 3D model of the Cybertruck.

The interface also includes Cybertruck-specific pages for adjusting drive settings, including ride height, as well as a dedicated Trailer Mode with towing-assistance features and a menu for controlling exterior power outlets for various accessories.

Tesla Cybertruck Interior Features: Final Thoughts

Despite the Cybertruck’s wild and unconventional exterior, its interior is surprisingly practical and well-equipped to meet the needs of most drivers. With ample interior space, comfortable seating, and tech-rich features, it’s clear the Cybertruck’s interior hasn’t taken the back seat over its bold exterior.
