Cybertruck Interior Video Tour
This article walks you through what a typical Cybertruck interior video shows, how to interpret the footage, and what features and details you should pay attention to. You’ll get practical filming and viewing tips so you can judge what you see in videos and relate it to real-world use.
What this video tour aims to show you
A good interior tour video focuses on space, materials, technology, ergonomics, storage, and practical usability. You’ll learn to spot subtle differences between prototype footage and production vehicles, plus tips for testing the vehicle yourself.
Why an interior video matters for your decision
Seeing a vehicle’s interior in motion gives you context that photos and spec sheets cannot provide. A video helps you judge sightlines, perceived space, and how controls behave when you interact with them.
How to use this guide while watching the video
Use this guide as a checklist while watching so you don’t miss key camera angles or interactions. Pause the video to examine details like seam quality, padding, and the responsiveness of touch controls.
Camera angles and shots to pay attention to
A complete interior video will show multiple angles to convey scale and detail. You should expect wide shots to show overall cabin space, medium shots for instrument clusters and screens, and close-ups for materials and switches.
Wide cabin shots
Wide shots provide a sense of proportions and how much breathing room you’ll have in the cabin. Look for shots taken from both front passenger and rear doors to understand headroom, legroom, and shoulder room.
Driver’s perspective shots
A driver’s-eye shot shows you sightlines to the road, mirror coverage, and how the steering wheel and displays sit in your field of view. You’ll also see how physical movements like turning, shifting, or pressing buttons feel from the driver’s seat.
Close-ups and detail shots
Close-ups reveal material texture, stitching quality, and the tactile feel of knobs and switches. These shots tell you whether surfaces are hard plastic, leatherette, soft-touch, or industrial, which can influence perceived quality and durability.
Movement and interaction clips
Videos that show hosts operating the touchscreen, climate controls, and storage latches give you a sense of responsiveness and ergonomics. Observe whether interactions require awkward reach or if they’re logically grouped and easy to use.
Seating and cabin space
Seating comfort and cabin volume are top priorities if you spend long hours behind the wheel or frequently carry passengers. The Cybertruck’s unusual exterior shape influences interior dimensions and seating geometry, so you’ll want to watch for how that translates to real-world comfort.
Front seats
When watching the video, pay attention to bolstering, cushion length, and adjustability of the front seats. Note whether seats offer heating, cooling, or power adjustments and how intuitively those controls are placed.
Rear seats and bench layout
The rear seating arrangement matters for family use or passenger comfort. Look at legroom, ease of ingress and egress, and whether the rear bench offers a flat floor for foot positioning and middle-seat comfort.
Seating materials and finish
Videos should show close-ups of the upholstery to help you judge material quality and durability. Pay attention to seams, edge piping, and whether materials appear stain-resistant or easy to clean.
Seating flexibility and storage under seats
Check if seats fold, tumble, or slide to expand cargo or access under-seat storage compartments. These mechanisms show how adaptable the interior is for carrying bulky loads or stowing valuables.
Dashboard, instrument cluster, and steering
The dashboard defines your relationship with the vehicle’s controls and displays. Because Tesla tends to favor minimalism, a tour should show how the Cybertruck balances touch-based controls with any physical buttons.
Center touchscreen and layout
Watch how large the center screen appears, how it’s angled, and whether touch targets seem reachable from both driver and passenger seats. Look for the user interface layout: are climate, navigation, and media on clear, dedicated zones or nested in menus?
Driver display and HUD elements
If a dedicated driver display or HUD exists in the video, note the clarity and amount of information presented. You’ll want speed, navigation prompts, and driver-assist status to be easy to scan without distraction.
Steering wheel controls and feel
Observe the number and placement of buttons on the wheel and whether they are tactile or touch-based. Also pay attention to steering column adjustability and how the wheel sits in your hands.
Physical vs. touch controls
A well-shot video will show which functions are controlled by physical switches and which require touchscreen input. You should evaluate whether frequently used items (like climate and drive modes) are accessible without excessive menu navigation.
Materials, textures, and perceived build quality
Materials determine the long-term look and feel of a cabin, as well as how it handles wear and tear. A video should make visible the contrast between soft-touch areas and utilitarian surfaces.
Dashboard materials and trims
Look at the dash top, center console, and fascia to distinguish between painted or wrapped hard surfaces and softer materials. Surface reflections in videos can reveal whether plastics are matte, gloss, or textured.
Door panels and armrests
Doors are high-contact areas, so a video should show padding, insert materials, and switchgear quality. Pay attention to armrest height and cushioning where you rest your elbow.
Color schemes and configurability
Notice how color choices affect perceived space and comfort. Videos often compare trim options; see whether lighter colors make the cabin feel airier, or darker options hide dirt better.
Durability cues
Close-ups of seams, gaps, and hardware tell you how well the cabin may age. Look for consistent panel gaps and secure mountings, which speak to manufacturing quality.
Storage, frunk, and bed (vault) areas
Utility is a core Cybertruck promise, so storage solutions are important in assessing everyday usability. Videos should highlight accessible compartments, lockable areas, and modular features.
Front trunk (frunk) space
The frunk gives additional locked storage that’s often weatherproof. Watch how accessible it is, whether it’s fitted with liners, and if it has power outlets or tie-downs.
Under-seat and glovebox storage
Underside compartments and glovebox capacity matter for smaller items you want close at hand. Observe whether these areas have sliders, dividers, or organizers to keep things from rolling around.
Bed, vault, and cargo cover features
The Cybertruck’s enclosed bed, often called a vault, should be shown with its tonneau or cover open and closed. Video should demonstrate how the cover operates, whether it’s electronically actuated, and how the bed handles equipment tie-downs.
Hidden cubbies and modular storage
Look for clever spaces like in-floor storage, fold-out compartments, and modular inserts. These features make the vehicle more versatile for gear, tools, and groceries.
Table: Common storage zones and what to observe
| Storage area | What to look for in video | Typical usefulness |
|---|---|---|
| Frunk | Volume, weather sealing, latch operation | Good for tools/charging gear |
| Center console | Organization, cupholders, wireless charging | Daily items, phones, cables |
| Under-seat | Accessibility, depth, locking | Valuables, first-aid kits |
| Vault/bed | Bed length, cover operation, tie-downs | Large items, camping gear |
| Door pockets | Depth, bottle holder security | Quick-access items |
Infotainment, connectivity, and audio
Technology and connectivity will influence how satisfied you are on long trips and in daily driving. Videos should show real-time responsiveness rather than static screenshots.
Media playback and streaming
Watch how quickly media apps load, how touch responsiveness feels, and whether streaming options are built-in. Notice whether the interface offers easy switching between sources and good visual feedback.
Navigation and map functionality
Assess route planning, real-time traffic handling, and voice-command accuracy. A video that demonstrates recalculation and lane guidance will give you more confidence in the navigation system.
Phone integration and wireless features
Look for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support if offered, or Tesla’s integrated phone features. Observe whether phones connect seamlessly via Bluetooth and whether wireless charging is large enough for your device.
Audio system and speaker layout
A good tour will play audio samples at different levels to show speaker clarity and bass response. Take note of speaker placement, surround settings, and whether a subwoofer is present for fuller sound.
Climate control and HVAC
Climate comfort is crucial in all-weather driving, and your viewing should include operations of the HVAC system. You’ll want to know how quickly the vehicle heats and cools the cabin and whether air distribution feels even.
Control layout and ease of use
Check whether climate controls live on the touchscreen or have quick-access physical buttons. You should be able to adjust temperature and fan speed without distracting menu stumbling.
Vent placement and airflow
Watch the video for vent distribution across the dash and rear cabin areas. Even airflow to the rear seats and feet is an important comfort factor.
Heating and ventilation features
Look for seat heaters, ventilated seats, and heated steering options. Videos should indicate how fast seat heaters warm up and whether seat ventilation is perceptible.
Cabin filtration and air quality systems
If the vehicle includes HEPA filtration or cabin overpressure modes, a quality video will show how these are toggled and whether the interface explains their benefits. These systems matter in dusty or polluted environments.
Lighting and ambiance
Lighting can change how large or cozy a cabin feels and affect utility for night use. Videos should show both daytime and nighttime footage to convey the full effect.
Ambient lighting options
Look for adjustable ambient lighting that can be set for mood or visibility. Pay attention to how pronounced the lighting is and whether it distracts at night.
Task and reading lights
Reading lights and map lamps are useful for passengers and practical tasks. Observe the brightness and whether they cast focused beams without spilling into the driver’s vision.
Interior and exterior entrance lighting
Exterior puddle lights and interior welcome lighting improve convenience. See whether doors activate lights and how these help with visibility when boarding at night.
Safety features, driver assistance, and visibility
Safety systems and visibility are best judged in motion, so videos that show assistive features operating in real-world scenarios are especially useful. You should confirm how sensors and cameras are positioned and whether they offer redundancy around the vehicle.
Cameras and sensor placement
Note exterior camera sites and whether any interior cameras are used for driver monitoring. Good footage will show camera view points and the clarity of camera feeds.
Driver assistance demos
Watch for demonstrations of lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and parking assists. A practical demo showing how the systems behave in common scenarios is more valuable than a list of names.
Airbag coverage and restraint systems
A video might not crash-test a vehicle, but it should detail the number of airbags and how restraint systems integrate with seating positions. Check for accessible ISOFIX anchors for child seats and how easy they are to connect.
Visibility and blind-spot handling
Angle shots that show sightlines over the hood and out of rear windows are key. Note how mirror sizes and camera-based blind-spot systems supplement physical mirror coverage.

Noise levels, ride feel, and insulation
Electric vehicles are quieter at idle but can expose wind and road noise depending on design choices. From an interior video you can infer how well the Cybertruck is insulated and whether its unusual body shape contributes to wind noise.
Cabin quietness at various speeds
Watch clips with headlights and road noise at different driving speeds to assess wind intrusion. Pay attention to whether the video demonstrates highway cruising and urban stop-and-go conditions.
Motor and drivetrain sounds
Some users want audible feedback from the drive system; others prefer near silence. Videos will reveal whether motor whine, whistling, or drivetrain noise becomes prominent under acceleration.
Vibration and structural sounds
Listen for creaks and rattles when doors are closed, road bumps are encountered, or storage lids are operated. These sounds are often clear in real-world footage.
Ride comfort cues
Observing how the vehicle handles bumps and body roll in corners in the video helps you judge suspension tuning. Look for shots showing passenger motion to gauge how compliant the ride feels.
Rear cargo, tailgate, and multi-use features
You’ll want a clear look at how the rear cargo area behaves with daily loads, recreational gear, and furniture. Videos should showcase load height, tailgate operation, and modular accessories.
Tailgate and vault operation
Watch how smoothly the tailgate opens and closes and whether it locks solidly. A good tour will demonstrate loading and securing items, and how the vault seals against weather.
Bed configurations and power accessories
Look for retractable covers, bed extenders, and integrated power outlets in the bed. These options turn the cargo area into a mobile workspace or campsite hub.
Work and utility features
Observe built-in storage for tools, integrated tie-down rails, and modular inserts that make jobsite tasks simpler. Also note if the vehicle includes power inverters or convenient lighting for night use.
Camping and overland potential
Some videos will show how the Cybertruck accommodates sleeping platforms or rooftop tents. If the footage demonstrates simple conversions, you’ll see how practical the truck is for outdoor activities.
Customization, trims, and accessory options
Manufacturers and aftermarket companies offer options that change functionality and aesthetics. Videos should indicate whether shown parts are factory options or third-party add-ons.
Factory trim differences
Watch any footage that compares trims to see how material choices and tech features scale across the range. Differences often include wheel designs, interior accents, and audio upgrades.
Aftermarket parts and user modifications
If the video includes aftermarket mods, pay attention to installation quality and whether modifications affect warranty or functionality. Mods can add utility but may reduce reliability if poorly executed.
Accessory compatibility
Look for how accessories like cargo liners, bed racks, and roof mounts interface with factory anchor points. Videos that show fitment can save you time evaluating compatibility.
Personalization and color choices
Custom colors and interior accents help you pick an aesthetic you’ll enjoy. Videos that compare color palettes give a pragmatic sense of which options are more forgiving to dirt and wear.
What to look for in a high-quality interior footage
Not all videos are filmed with the same intent or skill. You should know what separates informative footage from clickbait or marketing fluff.
Lighting and exposure quality
A well-shot interior video balances exposure so both bright exterior light and shaded interior surfaces are visible. Avoid videos that blow out exterior background or leave key interior details in shadow.
Stabilization and framing
Stable gimbal or tripod work gives a better representation of proportion and detail. Excessive camera shaking makes it hard to judge fit and finish.
Honest narration and testing
The best videos narrate both positives and negatives and include objective tests like seat comfort checks, sound demonstrations, and storage fits. Skepticism is healthy when a video skims over problems or avoids operational demonstrations.
Context and provenance
Identify whether the footage is of a prototype, pre-production, or final production unit. Knowing this context helps you interpret minor differences and judge what features are final.
Table: Video quality checklist for viewers
| Element | Why it matters | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Lighting | Reveals true materials | Balanced exposure, no blown highlights |
| Stability | Shows real proportions | Smooth gimbal or tripod shots |
| Interaction demos | Shows usability | Touchscreen taps, seat adjustments, latches |
| Disclosure | Production status clarity | Info on prototype vs production |
Filming tips if you want to shoot your own Cybertruck interior video
If you plan to film your own interior footage, good technique will make your content more useful for others. You can highlight the truck’s strengths and show authentic usage without needing professional gear.
Basic gear and stabilization
Use a small gimbal or a smartphone with stabilization turned on to reduce motion blur. A tripod or suction-mount for static shots helps you capture panoramic views without hand shake.
Shot list and pacing
Create a shot list that covers wide cabin views, driver POV, close-ups of materials, and interactive sequences. Move at a deliberate pace so viewers can absorb details and pause when needed.
Exposure and white balance
Manual control over exposure and white balance avoids flickering or mismatched colors between interior and exterior shots. Set exposure to preserve highlight detail through windows.
Audio and narration
Record clean audio for narration or add voiceover later to explain what you’re showing. Ambient cabin sounds can be useful, but clear verbal context makes a video far more helpful.
Interpreting prototype footage vs production models
Many videos are filmed on pre-production Cybertrucks, and some features may change before delivery. You should be able to separate core design choices from production refinements.
Identifying prototype cues
Prototype interiors might have temporary trim, visible prototype wiring, or gauges that differ from final production. Videos that point out temporary panels and test instrumentation give you important clues.
Expectation vs reality on features
Features like final upholstery texture, screen software, and small accessory fitment often change before production. Treat early footage as indicative, not definitive.
Software and UX differences
Interiors often improve with software updates; what a video shows today might be enhanced later via over-the-air updates. Keep an eye on latency, menu layout, and how intuitive controls feel over time.
Documenting changes over time
Follow multiple videos from different stages of development to see what updates occurred. This longitudinal view helps you predict which prototype quirks will be fixed.
Maintenance, cleaning, and durability considerations
Owning a unique vehicle means thinking about how to maintain its interior materials and systems. Videos that show cleaning and wear-and-tear tests are especially helpful.
Cleaning surfaces and upholstery
Identify material types before choosing cleaning products. Videos that test mild detergents, microfibre cloths, and stain removal techniques give practical guidance.
Sealing and weatherproofing
Watch footage that tests seals around doors and the vault; waterproofing matters for cargo protection. Scenes showing rain or wash tests are informative for real-world resilience.
Long-term durability signs
Look for close-ups of high-contact areas like armrests, cupholders, and door sills to spot potential wear. Videos showing months of use reveal more about durability than brand-new demos.
Simple DIY maintenance points
Note accessible filters, fuse boxes, and storage access points shown in a tour. A good video will help you know where service points are and whether tasks are DIY-friendly.
Accessibility and ergonomics for different users
Comfort and usability for a broad range of occupants is an important consideration. Videos should cover entry height, grab handles, and seat adjustment range to inform diverse user needs.
Ease of entry and exit
Watch for step heights and door opening angles to see how easy it is to get in and out of the truck. Footing and handhold positions are particularly important for older passengers or those with mobility concerns.
Control reach and visibility for shorter and taller drivers
Good videos show seat positions at both extremes to demonstrate usable range. Note whether the steering column and seat adjustments let you achieve a comfortable driving posture.
Child seats and family use
Assess rear anchor positions and space for car seats. Video reviewers often test installing seats to show practicality for family duties.
Assistive options and after-market aids
Look for factory options like running boards, powered steps, or aftermarket accessories that facilitate access. Videos that show installation and effectiveness are particularly useful.
