Tesla Cybertruck: What You Didn't Know
The Tesla Cybertruck is going to be released this year, and we have a video that shares some of the things about it that you might not know about. Let's get right into it.
First off, there is a center console in the Cybertruck, just like other Tesla vehicles.
There is a charger, but it doesn't have the Tesla logo on it. It simply has the NACS charging connector inside with a flap that closes and opens. It's also just below the side of the edge by the bottom left wheel and it blends in very well.
There are details of the bed, including the vault cover moving up and down. This should be controllable from the Tesla app. There is also a vault cover that allows you to put your belongings in it safely.
There are a lot of rubber sealants across the vault that closes from the top, which may mean Tesla is trying to make the Cybertruck somewhat waterproof.
There is a sub bin that can be folded up from inside the Cybertruck bed. There is rubber sealant around the charge port door as well.
The rubber sealant is good because this is going to be a high voltage vehicle.

What Else About the Cybertruck Is There?
There are a lot of up close details of the interior now. There is perforation on the front row seats, which means the seats could be ventilated and actively cooled. This will be good for those places with hot summers.
There will be vault controls on the tailgate area of the truck which allow you to control opening and closing of the vault.
Tesla may have a ramp on the tailgate that allows you to get vehicles up to the vault. There is a seam there, which shows that there is a separate piece that folds up.
There are wrapped Cybertrucks that have a camouflage wrap on them. Some have wondered if these will be shipped as production vehicles for those who want that as a wrap. There could be an option for this wrap.
First deliveries could be 3 months away based on all the Cybertrucks we are seeing being shipped and driven around. It seems like every day, more and more are driving around. Giga Texas is also producing Cybertrucks. Leaked footage has shown assembly of the Cybertruck in action, including a Tweet from Joe Tegtmeyer on June 23, 2023, showing giga castings:
23 June 2023 Giga Texas inside images of the casting machine area! Window covers removed strangely right when we are seeing a lot of Cybertrucks in the wild! Two 9K Giga Presses are installed, a new N-S foundation under construction in the E bay! See this and a lot more in my… pic.twitter.com/iagCLS9PXv— Joe Tegtmeyer (@JoeTegtmeyer) June 23, 2023
There are shots of the Cybertruck from New Zealand that show the frunk. This has an easy loading angle, meaning the frunk is about a foot above the ground.
There are no door handles on the Cybertruck, but there are little buttons on the side columns that let you open the door. This is to open the back doors only. The front doors will likely be opened from the app or from a Tesla swipe card.
Hopefully there will be a 220V charger that you can connect to on the truck in case you need to tap into its battery for Energy.
For the tail lights, there are only two lights and there needs to be a 3rd light according to law. This will likely be added in the final version. The edges of the Cybertruck are sharp and one should be careful when walking around it.
