Where there are almost no buttons and rotary dials (Except the steering wheel). There is no center console to control the interior features of the car. Instead, the center gets a giant 17-inch touchscreen. Which controls both the MID (multi-informational display) and infotainment system of the car as well as the climate control. In short, it is an all-in-one screen from where all the controls of the car are operated.
The truck gets half-cut steering which Tesla calls the Yoke steering wheel which we’ve seen in the tesla model S. The interiors of the Cybertruck offer a total seating capacity of 6. and If this space is falling short for you, then it’s equipped with a 6.5-foot bed what they call the Cybertruck vault.
