Leaked interior Cybertruck photo!

[charliemagpie]

That internal pic isn't flattering, the view looks like you're driving a bullet train with blinkers on, and the interior finish is unfinished.

Where is the glovebox for example?

To say its sparse, is to say the Modey Y is sparce. Each to their own. Anyone who doesn't like it is certainly right.

The Model Y is the worlds best selling car in the first qrt of 2023, so clearly a lot of admirers for that type of interior as well.

Let's wait to sit in the finished product. I reckon any issues we come up with will be personal preferences, not necessarily a fault. You can't be everything to everyone.

A fluffy dash dust removing will likely be much needed option. (especially for dusty people)

I've never had a car that had a dash that didn't require periodic dusting.

What I noticed was that it looks like the lay of the dash is designed specifically to make cleaning the windshield easier. The dash isn't flat but has room for hands/cleaning tools right up to the forwardmost part of the windshield.

Of course it remains to be seen if this dash is representative of actual production models or not. The actual production dash could differ in both form and surface treatment.

Let's address this misunderstanding.

The CT's "hood" is behind the windshield, in the form of a dashboard.

The portion of the CT's hod that is in front of the windshield, is ~ equvalent in the F150 to the portion of the hood that cannot be seen, either, from inside the F150 (except for unusual cases).

to orient on this, see this photo again:

Paying attention to the dotted yellow line in the photo above, compare/contrast to the OP shot from interior.

Call it a "hood" or a "dashboard" I don't care - functionally, it's the same thing: a horizontal plane parallel to ground that extends forward into the driver's vision


Now compare that above yellow dotted line to where in the photos below I've placed this black tube on my F150 hood - where the black tube meets the white paint is the ~location of the yellow dotted line on the F150 and the front of the dashboard on the CT. (I even cheated back towards the cab a bit just to try and head off the "but buts" that are coming.)

Without moving that black bar, I then got in my truck.

Now I'm just over 6'2", but i drive with my seat raised to the max so that my hair touches the headliner.

In that maximum height position within the F150 cab, here's my view of the black bar (camera taken from eye level - reminder, that black bar represents the end of the DASHBOARD of the CT:

Then i moved my seat to max lowered position, and took the photo from my chin level - here's that view:

The point of all this being, the F150 hood curves downward right about where the CT's windshield meets its hood - which means that from the driver's seat, there is zero basis to say that the CT's dashboard is any less obstructive of view than the hood of a traditional pickup.

It may or may not be at some margin case, eg for some particular seating position or height of a particular occupant.

But the CT has every bit as much "hood" as an F150, even if >1/2 of it is behind the windshield and called a "dashboard."

Anyone saying things like "on the contrary, the forward visibility in the Cybertruck is better than any 1/2 ton pickup on American roads today" is making that statement based on both zero information, and contrary to the available evidence

Okay. I see. Thank you. I was comparing my F-150 view where I can see my whole hood and not a bike in front of me to the CT where it SEEMS I could put my head forwardward and "look down the windshield" and see things closer to me. I suppose that's not the case.

And on a side note, I appreciate the back-and-forth conversation without hostility (though, I can understand the frustration... watch me try to explain physics and batteries). Too many times, civility is lost in order to make points and conversation becomes combative. Kudos on being one of the good guys.

right back at you

Though I’ll freely admit that with some *others,* I have no problem sinking to others levels

A lot of discussions on the potentially big dashboard… What is the downside, a style thing?
Looks like an opportunity for epic bobble head collections

I'm wondering if the vehicle has a glovebox. Many of the passenger-side airbags deploy out the top of the dash and deflect off of the windshield towards the passenger. With this windshield configuration, the airbag may need to deploy out of the space where the top of the glovebox would normally be. We'll need to check out more pictures, as they become available.

Pops down beneath the white dash lip.

Probably very similar to the Model Y.

Here we go - looks terrible. The Big Ass Dash is going to ruin this truck - at least for me. My reservation # is 3,6xx if anyone is interested. This truck reminds me of a south park episode for energy efficient transportation.... I'm a huge Tesla customer - but not willing to compromise so much that basic visibility is a problem...pared with a massive waste of space. Unfortunately, I'll be waiting longer for a real "truck" with range.

P.S., what fanboys continue to fail to point out - the pillars on either side cover a much longer portion of the windshield / viewing area. Yes - you can see the same in front of you, but the blind spots on either side are unacceptable...

Really? I haven't gotten to sit in it yet so I can't make an intelligent analysis of the blind spots yet. Cool to know though.

The blinds spots aren't much worse, if at all, than a Model Y. I am going to do something to show this soon.

I tried to duplicate the shot in my model X. I am not concerned about visibility - the CT actually seems a bit better.

 

[Kahpernicus]

ooh, you have the sidemirror access ports too

 

[Love2Cyber]

Wrong. The CT has a B.A.D and the pillars extend to near the front of the hood. I've owned a Model X, there is no comparison. The X windshield is huge / extends above the driver. The pillars do not reach to near the end of the hood as the CT has.
