Get this and only this. It covers EVERYTHING and your dogs can still see you through the mesh between the seats. Folded up it fits perfectly in the frunk.

No, I don’t work for the company that makes these. It’s just an awesome product.
I like this design a lot but need one like it that works with the seats folded up.

Not cool man, be respectful. Dogs drool, scratch, bite, shed.. not things you want happening in the back of your $100,000 vehicle.
Why wouldn't you want your dogs in the same vehicle you drive? If you are a dog owner they are part of your family. Someone already suggested a dog protector (which is the obvious solution but apparently not sufficient for the OP). It's like he was presenting a problem, removing all the sensible solutions people use every day, and then suggesting someone might have something more "clever" than all the solutions we already use. It ain't rocket science!

In any case, it doesn't matter how much your truck costs, it's still just a truck and it's going to get wear and tear, if you have dogs in the family it will get some drool and hair too. What does he want, for someone to suggest that he get a dog condo on wheels so he can tow his dogs behind in their own doggie trailer to keep his precious truck pristine? It's just a tool and I bet he bought it partly because it would fit his big dogs.

I'm not worried if you think my honest and direct response was not "cool", I'm not shamed by that, because it wasn't disrespectful. People like you need to grow a thicker skin, I'm not going to put my common sense on a leash because it might offend someone who doesn't want to hear it.

I was reading along and suddenly I thought “this reads just like a @HaulingAss comment’ so I scrolled up and, voila!!! :cool:

I ordered one of those and the first time I used it my dog jumped over the mesh into the front seat. He was only 5 months old and less than 40 pounds at the time. The only way that liner would work is if the dog is already trained to stay in the back. In that case the liner is a good option (not perfect because it isn’t designed for the Cybertruck).
I pulled the straps around the headrests tighter and left the straps around the back seats looser which allowed for the liner to be pulled up taller where the mesh part in the front is. I'll take a picture and share tomorrow but it'd be hard for any dog to try and jump that (not impossible though).

He's asking for help and feedback in a community forum and you're bringing into question whether he should even be owning pets based off of his inquiry. It's not just about fur like I said and no one wants a pet damaging the premium interior of their brand new $100k+ truck so he's looking for solutions ?‍♂

Nope, the OP was worried about hair, even with a dog protector. I said if the hair bothers him that much, he might reconsider dog ownership. Just common sense, because you can't stop a dog from shedding.

This isn't rocket science, it's a truck, and the solutions are just like any other truck.

For sure. The hair can be vacuumed up. I mostly want to keep claws off the doors along the bottom of the window, and keep saliva off the upholstery. Dog drool does permanent damage to Tesla upholstery.

In my experience, Tesla "upholstry" is more damage resistance than what I have in my F-150, more resistance than what I had in my Volvo, I'm confident that it has more damage resistance than the clear vinyl seat covers my parents put in our station wagon when I was a child.

If dog drool can damage it, it's going to damage any truck or car. And the solution is wipe it up with a damp cloth after the trip. Or, keep all surfaces covered with a dog protector that you can throw away when it becomes too damaged.

It ain't rocket science and Tesla upholstry is not any more susceptible than any other upholstry that I'm aware of.

You can wipe all you want. The marks never come off. The dogs ride in the way back of my model Y on a road trip. They leaned over the backs of the rear seats and drooled. Never comes clean again. I want to have the truck surfaces a little more protected. Very happy with the solution I have.

Maybe you need to check the pH of that dog drool. If you wipe it up each drive, and it still stains the pleather, I suspect the pH is not normal. This is not a typical problem.

When I had a Pacifica, I stowed one of middle seats down and strapped in a dog crate with the door removed. The opening was facing the sliding door. The opening was close enough to the slider that the dog could not get out when the slider was closed. The crate was oversized for the dog.
When the slider opened, the dog could egress easily into and out of the crate. She really seemed to love the crate and would sleep mostly during rides.
It felt safer for the dog in case of hard stops/movements. And it kept the dog hair inside the crate and way easier to clean.

I will do this again in the back seat of the cybertruck when another dog joins the family. I just have to figure out the tie down areas.
