Why can’t i sit in it!!!!???

You're going to be very disappointed at delivery. They won't even let you inside your own truck until you've already accepted delivery in the app.

Bruh…. lol. Not very customer friendly i see

Yup. That's exactly what my experience was with my M3 in 2018 minus the app thing. I basically had to sign off on it before I could even get inside. Hahaha

Wow. That’s wild.

Who cares about if you can or cannot sit in a showroom vehicle. Boo-hoo.... seriously.

Really?!? Why respond like an @$$ to a fellow forum member? Obviously @Dazajj cares!

It is perfectly fine if he is upset that he can't sit in a vehicle that he invested six figures in.

Responses like yours makes other members feel hesitant to post honest complaints or feedback.

I haven't seen the Cybertruck in person yet and Charlotte is the closest location I can see one. But by the sounds of your post, I don't want to deal with the dude you encountered.

I’d say don’t waste your time. Yeah it’s cool to see but don’t go out of your way. You can just look at the truck but can’t touch. We know more from being on this forum than most of the employees who work there.
The first time I saw one was an a daddy-daughter trip to the Peterson museum. The truck was cool but I had more fun hanging out with my daughter. The second time seeing it was taking the whole family for an hour drive to Denver. I just wanted to see my wife’s reaction (it was bla but she knows it’s a Tesla so it will be fun to drive). And I’ve seen it in Boston and Seattle just because the hotels I was staying at were right across the street from the showrooms.

Worry not, my guy. I had serious trepidation when I bought my M3 sight unseen and I love that car.

I think you're gonna love your 1st Tesla!!

Because they’re roped off and locked

that’s getting in the way

Oh cvalue13. Such a smart ass... in all the best ways. ?

I definitely agree that interior cabin space is a must-try-to-know. The way companies measure, one can miss important info if viewing only the brute measurements of “leg room” etc.

So, if details of cabin interior space and packaging are high on one’s list of qualifications, it makes it very challenging to be an early adopter that must take before experiencing.

There are plenty of people for whom this isn’t an issue, who will be happy to be an early adopter. For example, anyone coming from a sedan/SUV (the CT will be even on paper guaranteed to be larger or no smaller), coming from mid-sized trucks (same), or even those coming from 1/2 ton trucks for whom interior dimensions isn’t a critical issue net-net. (Then there are the YOLO fans who would give up anything to be first-ish.)


All that said, I’m among the folks for whom interior space is critical, coming from a Lightning, and I’ve been in the CT. So while I continue to stress that for big guys or folks otherwise with a high importance on interior volumes, here’s some info:

With one exception, the front seat driving room will be materially identical to an F150. On paper it’s a tiny bit smaller, but that difference largely melts to background given that (1) rarely do even big guys sit in the rearmost driving position, and (2) the interior design creates a sense of space not seen in eg the F150.

The one exception to front row/driver’s space is obviously the center console. The Ct has a “two cupholder wide” center console, more like a modern Tacoma, compared to an eg F150’s “three cupholder wide” center console. As a result, two people in the front seat will have a bit less room for their center-side arm/elbow rest. Shoulders are that much closer, but certainly not touching.

So, in the front seat the interior volume is largely a wash as worst with the F150 sort of front row volume, subject to the center console point (which I think is minor).

It’s the rear seat interior volumes may depart most, and so if important to a buyer is most critical to the try-before-you-buy. The CT has notably less rear seat legroom than an F150, but still much larger than most sedans and any midsized truck. The rear seat width is notably less than an F150 but again as much or more than most sedans or more than any midsized truck. And while the CT’s rear headroom is listed on paper as being only 1” shorter than an F150 or a Model X, I have no idea how Tesla came up with that measurement - I’ll just say that at 6’2” (maybe long if torso) and slouching, my head was only ~1” from the top glass, and straightening to good posture touched the glass.

And this rear headroom has another distinction - even if the CT roof was merely 1” closer than in my F150, the CT is hardened bullet-resistant glass where the F150 is a rather forgiving and padded headliner.

And lastly in the rear seat volumes and packaging, unlike the particularly open-feeling front seats, the rear seat area - despite all the minimalism - is conversely more confined feeling than an F150. The side windows are narrow compared to an F150 and start high on the shoulder; the rear glass is narrow and whether the tonneau is openedor closed feels more like a wall than glass (even when the tonneau is open, the sails do quite a bit of confining/blocking of the view/light, and of course when closed it may as well be a wall behind you). So in the respect, the slightly smaller rear seat dimensions can be adouble whammy of being both dimensionally smaller and in terms of volume perception more confined.

So all-in-all, if rear seat volume and rear seat packaging is a critical feature for a buyer (like it is for me), I would say this is the most try-before-you-buy area to consider.

I responded the way I did because some people really need to recalibrate what upsets them in this world, and sometimes people need to hear it to make a change. Silence fixes nothing.

The biggest complainers about my CT preorder are my friends who sit in the back. I've had three guys who are 6' and 300lbs in the back of my Lightning and they were comfortable. I also hilariously had the same guys in my Model 3 once, they were not happy.

I am always in the front, so the back seat doesn't mean a lot to me. If you don't like my back seat, find another ride. But with that said, one of the biggest changes with my Lightning will be the back seat size reduction.

The length of the CT is shorter than a Lightning and the bed is a half foot longer, they had to come up with that space somewhere. I personally wish the frunk had 6 more inches of depth and the bed was 5.5 feet. The frunk on my Lightning is used all the time and it is nothing short of incredible. The CT frunk is comparably lacking and kinda sad, it will be the one thing I miss most when I get a CT

Most people aren't mentioning that the number of showroom Cybertrucks are still quite limited right now. Tesla can't risk having them damaged or soiled, let alone accumulate finger prints. Once the quantities available increase, I'm sure they'll be more flexible in showrooms with the Cybertruck, just as Model 3, Model Y, Model S samples are available to sit in at showrooms now. Obvious no-brainer.

Blows my mind that at the dealerships we still can’t get close enough to the CT to get a better look. You would think that at the very least if you have a FS order in, they would let you check it out. Such BS. And the guy in the Charlotte Tesla was a complete tool. Wanted to punch his stupid face in.

They probably don't want people to sit in it and fart in the seats,

 

[cvalue13]

this is a good and worthy point i didnt cover

the angle of the overhead door does mean that entry is at best different than a standard truck design

up front, it's both a bit better and a bit worse than the rear. it's a bit better in that the roofline is higher, but a bit worse in that the slope of the A pillar reduces downward right where a person leans forward sideways to enter/exit the truck.

in the back it's a bit worse and a bit better than the front. the roofline is a lower than in the front, but at least the slop of the roofline is away from where a person leans forward to enter/exit the truck sideways.

front or back, i did find myself having to duck or position differently to enter/exit.

i wouldn't/couldn't say it's enough of a difference in the CT compared to an F150, and that it may be more an item of habit-forming regarding how one enters/exits the truck. or it may instead be something that over time becomes more nettlesome. unclear, and likely variable for individuals.

that said, it's lightyears better than say sportscars etc that take some contorting to get past the door opening before arriving in the seat packaging area
