Tesla Cybertruck: interior of the future - review, features and hidden capabilities

Tesla Cybertruck is not just an electric car, but a manifesto of a technological future on wheels. Its interior, like its exterior, became the subject of controversy, admiration and thousands of memes even before the official release. While the appearance cybertruck Compared to an '80s spaceship, the interior breaks the mold of traditional pickup trucks by offering minimalism, functionality and a unique control system without the usual levers and buttons.

But how comfortable is this interior for everyday use? How does the multimedia system work, and what features are hidden from the eyes of the average user? In this guide we will go into detail ergonomics, finishing materials, climate control system and even undocumented functions, about which the official manual is silent. We will also give practical advice on caring for the interior so that it looks like new even after 100,000 km.

Design and materials: why the Cybertruck's interior looks like something out of a movie

The first thing that catches your eye when landing in Cybertruck - this is lack of familiar elements. There is no traditional dashboard, no physical climate control buttons, and the steering wheel looks more like a steering wheel from Star Trek. Instead - 17" touch screen in the center and a minimalist front panel with hidden air ducts.

Finishing materials are also non-standard:

• 🛡️ Wired glass - used not only in windows, but also in instrument panel elements (resistant to scratches and UV radiation).
• 🧵 Vegan leather — the seats are covered with synthetic material UltraWhite, which does not absorb odors and is easy to clean.
• 🪨 Aluminum inserts — anodized metal on the steering wheel and center console, stylized to resemble body armor plates.
• 🔥 Fireproof fabrics — the ceiling and door panels are covered with a material that can withstand temperatures up to 800°C (stated by Tesla).

Interesting fact: Cybertruck became the first production car in the cabin of which completely abandoned chrome. Instead, matte metal coatings are used that do not glare in the sun and do not leave fingerprints.

Ergonomics and seating: is it comfortable to ride a cybertruck every day?

Despite the futuristic design, Cybertruck designed with anthropometric data average driver. The seat height is adjustable within a range 60–90 cm (from road level), which is comparable to classic pickups like Ford F-150. However, there are nuances:

⚠️ Attention: Owners shorter than 165 cm note that gas pedal is too far from the seat even in the extreme forward position. This can create discomfort on long trips.

Deserves special attention steering wheel — it has no spokes and looks more like the steering wheel of a racing car. Diameter - 370 mm (versus standard 380–400 mm), which allows you to rotate the steering wheel faster, but requires getting used to. Control buttons Autopilot and the signal are located on the backrests under the thumbs, which is intuitively inconvenient for many drivers.

Multimedia system: what a 17-inch screen can do

Central screen Cybertruck works on the basis updated Tesla operating system (version 12.3+). Its key features:

• 🎮 Game mode — support Steam (via the cloud) and local games like Beach Buggy Racing 2.
• 📡 Satellite View — maps with a resolution of up to 30 cm/pixel (available when connected to Starlink).
• 🔊 22 channel audio system with support Dolby Atmos and setting up sound zones for each passenger.
• 🚗 Cybernetic mode — voice control of all functions (including opening the glove compartment and adjusting the seats).

However, there is also hidden functions, which are not talked about in the salon:

• 🔍 Secret diagnostic menu - activated by holding buttons Volume + and Volume – within 10 seconds. Shows battery voltage, inverter temperatures and sensor errors.
• 🎵 Easter Egg "Mars Mode" — if you say “Take me to Mars,” the screen will show an animation of the flight to Mars, and the climate control will turn the seat heating to maximum.
• 🔋 Power saving mode "Vault" — disables all background processes except critical ones, increasing the power reserve by 12–15%. Turns on via Settings → Software → Power Saving.

Climate control system: how the “invisible” air conditioner works

B Cybertruck there are no traditional air deflectors - a system is used instead "Invisible Air", where air flows are directed through micro-slits in the front panel. This solution has pros and cons:

Benefits:

• ✅ There are no drafts - the air is distributed evenly throughout the cabin.
• ✅ Easy to clean - there are no dust traps like ventilation grilles.
• ✅ Silent operation (noise level ≤ 38 dB at maximum speed).

Disadvantages:

• ❌ It is impossible to direct the air flow directly to the face (it takes 1-2 weeks to get used to it).
• ❌ In cold weather, heating the interior takes 20–30% longer than in cars with traditional deflectors.

⚠️ Attention: If a burning smell appears in the cabin when the heating is turned on, stop immediately and check the condition PTC heater (located under the front panel). In the first batches Cybertruck There have been cases of overheating due to a faulty thermostat.

Make sure there is no ice in the drainage hole under the glove compartment|Check the steering wheel heating (included in the menu) Climate → Steering Wheel)|Update the software to the latest version (fixes bugs with temperature control)|Test the mode Dog Mode (maintains +20°C when parked)

Practical tips for caring for the interior of your Cybertruck

Interior materials Cybertruck designed for extreme conditions, but require specific care. Here's what owners with mileage >50,000 km recommend:

Cleaning Vegan Leather UltraWhite:

• 🧼 Use only pH neutral cleaners (e.g. Tesla Interior Cleaner or Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner).
• 🚫 Avoid alcohol-based products - they destroy the protective layer of the material.
• 🌞 After cleaning, apply a UV protective spray (e.g. 303 Aerospace Protectant) to prevent burnout.

• 🧽 Wipe with a microfiber cloth soaked in distilled water.
• 🛠️ To remove oxidation, use aluminum polish (for example, Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish).
• 🚫 Do not use abrasive pastes - they scratch the anodized coating.
