The Tesla Cybertruck interior is so minimalistic it’s being called ‘boring’

The Tesla Cybertruck is known for its eye-catching stainless steel bodywork and sharp lines. 

But while the exterior of the truck is as unique and attention-grabbing as anything else on the road, the inside is a lot more pared back. 

The Cybertuck has a large and roomy interior that is stripped of all but the bare essentials. 

So much so, that some people think it’s a little bit on the boring side.

What’s the inside of Tesla Cybertruck actually like?

The Cybertruck began rolling off production lines in 2023, following a few delays for the EV. 

It offers an impressive range of around 400–545km (250–340 miles) which could be boosted by a range extender to 710–755km (440–470 miles). 

On the outside, the Cybertruck looks a bit like something you’d see in a science fiction movie, but on the inside the designers opted to stick with Tesla’s usual minimalist vibe. 

Inside, the Cybertruck is roomy – very roomy. So roomy, in fact, you can camp out in it.

It has five seats, two in the front and a three-seat bench in the back – and not an awful lot else.

There’s an 18.5 inch (47cm) touch-screen infotainment display in the front, which controls the truck’s climate, media, and vehicle controls, and a 9.4 inch (24cm) touch-screen in the back. 

There’s also a couple of hexagonal cupholders, and a ‘squircle’ steering wheel. 

And, due to the Cybertuck’s size, there’s quite a lot of storage space including underneath the passenger seat, in the glovebox, and under the armrest. 

But is less really more? Not everyone seems to think so. 

The interior of the Cybertruck isn’t to everyone’s taste

The Cybertruck was Tesla’s most talked about EV release to date – with people dissecting everything from its futuristic looks to its self-driving capabilities. 

Oh and let’s not forget the viral moment the truck’s claims of indestructibility were put to the test. 

But even from the very start, the Tesla Cybertruck was a divisive launch – some folks loved its unusual design, while others hated it. 

And it was a similar story for the truck’s interior. 

When the Cybertruck concept was initially unveiled back in 2019, the truck was revealed to have a spacious and minimalistic design. 

But – as ever with stylistic choices – you can’t please everyone and it wasn’t long before some people claimed the Cybertruck’s interior was bland and boring. 

In a review at the time, Top Gear’s Jack Rix branded it ‘simplistic to the point of barren’, and he wasn’t the only one who wasn’t entirely won over. 

The author of this article on Medium, said it felt like a cross between ‘Marie Kondo’s minimalism’ and ‘prison cells’ – probably not the look Tesla was going for. 

Summing up the interior, he said it was ‘super boring’. 

Meanwhile, Quinn Nelson from the Snazzy Labs YouTube channel, was less than impressed with the quality. 

“It feels so cheap,” he said. “There’s hard plastic everywhere.” 

And the team from Autoblog said the interiors took the exterior’s minimalist design to ‘an almost crude extreme’. 

“It’s basically a flat slab, and an enormous one to fill the Kansas-like open plain between the front seats and the base of the windshield,” the reviewer wrote. “And all it is, is flat.”

Of course, there are plenty of people out there who much prefer a simplistic design to something over engineered and clunky – basically it all comes down to personal taste, right?
