Small / cramped rear seat area -- true?

[jayman]

I was watching this video and around the 17 min mark they talk about the rear seat area being small. Is that the case? I know coming from my F150 the back seat area will be smaller but is it as cramped as they make it out to be?

I didn't directly compare to an F150, but I have a friend who came to see it who is quite large (Both in height and weight) and he remarked how much room he felt like he had in the rear

I have a convertible car seat and 2 boosters back there and the kids have plenty of room. Definitely more room than in the 2nd row of my full size Range Rover.

Having no experience with an F150 or any other trucks I can’t compare. But there is plenty of room in the back of a CT. I actually had people comment that it is roomier than it looks from the outside.

The F150 back seat is insane. The CT is smaller, but still large vs. most back seats.

I'm 6'5" and fit just fine behind my driver position and I've had 4 tall adults (shortest is 5'10") in the truck for a 400 mile trip with ZERO complaints.

I came from a Model Y, with a 200 lbs dog, I definitely feel like there is way more room in my Cybertruck than anything else I have driven. I cannot make the comparison to an F-150, but I will say that with all the people in the back I have had, and with seats up for my dog, I have never had any issues or feedback other than "it's roomy back here".

Thanks all for the feedback! A few years ago I thought it'd be fun to have a Jeep Gladiator and thought the smaller size would be okay. Well it didn't last 4 months and I had to listen to "I told you so" comments for even longer so I didn't want to be in a similar situation.

Our 2 130-pound dogs love the back seat.

NO!

Mkb HD review video shows him in rear seat behind driver seat set for his 6'3 height and he has plenty of room

The back seats tend to have about as much room as the front ones, it's a LOT. 2 adults can easily take long trips, 3 adults are comfortable for a few hours.

Like all YouTubers these guys are looking for clicks more than they care about facts. My questions would be: did they measure the vehicles, what space and comfort tests did they perform and what were the metrics of comparison and what were the results. If all they did is complain then I wouldn't give them the time of day. It has to be scientific, with data. I am fine with people sharing their opinions as long as they declare up front that they are expressing opinions and what their bias is.

OK, I watched up to that point in the video and they didn't do anything objective and clearly they have a traditional truck design bias and never said so. I wonder why they bothered buying one at all. They did make a couple of valid points but the one thing that they said that really pissed me off is that they said Tesla decided on the design and then on the function. Nothing could be further from the truth. They decided that they wanted a very tough exterior which is super rigid. That is pure functionality. Then, they changed the dimensions so that they could 'maybe' get it into a garage, and that was a functional requirement. Then, somewhere down the line, they had to play games to get the interior as large as possible. Of all the cars and trucks I have ever seen I'd say the Cybertruck is far and away the more 'function over form' vehicle. Anyone that sees it differently has a peculiar bias.

Wow, i didn't think 6'5 can fit into the rear seat.

Still more legroom than Southwest

Less headroom, tho
