Folding rear seats (& center seat) confirmed in new Cybertruck patent! Points to possible pass through?

Great to have a king sized bed rather than just a single. Still plenty of room in the back for a small Stainless Steel BBQ or two, table, chairs, fishing tackle and hunting gun in case you're attacked by bears. Not that I see any in the UK though. Pheasants are more pleasant anyway and easier to take home.

It's a pity Davy Crockett didn't have a Cybertruck, He used to hunt black bears and skin them. I am sure you have all heard of him, he was an American legend. You may not know his Ancestry though so please look at the link below and find out.

I remember his theme tune from when I was a kid about 70 years ago. The first line went Davy, Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier.

I agree rear center looks like seat belt.
In latest CT testing on test track it looks like two storage areas in bed. Wondering if the roll top is now stored under the rear seats to make room for more storage in/under bed. Maybe one is for spare like in Rivian?

If the vault cover rolled into a small canister above the rear seats, it would enable a passthru to be used regardless of vault cover position. Current rolltop canisters (on my truck, anyway) are less than 10"x10".

My original S has a glove box, that's it! No door cubbies, seatback pockets, armrest storage...nothing!

Lots of storage in my Model 3 too. I agree the early Model S lacked storage, but the claim was every Tesla lacked storage. I find that claim just weird and it makes me wonder what kind of items people are trying to "store" for a drive.

The latest CT patent released yesterday...

Appears the have front folding center seat in addition to rear folding seats as well!

...now what goodies will be packed in that center seat!?

Also (pointed out by @Ogre) :

Rear seats are spilt 60/40.
Center console looks like a cute little robot.
Rear seats apparently hover off the floor.

Looks to me the powered vault cover would be blocking the pass through. Maybe if they roll the cover down another 1.5 feet it will clear.

The lawyers have a safety tip for the day for the people who have no common sense. Be sure to remove your baby before folding down your Cybertruck’s seats.

My Tommygate has been motorized since the 1960 era. Nothing new to report here!

Maybe the cabin radar will detect & the Tesla AI can squawk at the parents.

Wondering why this needs a patent?

The Chinese will steal your idea if not patented in America.

Sure but we want the ramps extending powered too.

I can tell you, that is something every Tesla currently lacks....storage

Like the Honda Ridge line, they made storage underneath the rear seats. (example)
