We get a close look at the Tesla Cybertruck at the Chicago Auto Show. It seems fairly usable as a truck, but there are design concerns.
just doesn't work with the press. Or at least, most of the press. There are a select few outlets Tesla will go to, but generally the auto press doesn't get any opportunities to sample their vehicles, not without renting or borrowing one from someone, or straight-up purchasing one. So when we were surprised with, at a Tesla booth, well, we had to check it out up close, and give you some impressions of it inside and out.
The finish on the panel edges is disconcerting, too. Because of the Cybertruck's ultra hard stainless steel, it makes it difficult to bend panels, which probably contributes to why some of them are a bit off. It also means that each panel has a thin edge, rather than the folded over and slightly rounded edges of conventional cars. What's distressing is that only a bare minimum of filing or sanding has been done to the edges, leaving them sharp and rough.
Hopping up front, the seats are comfortable and supportive. They have good bolstering and lumbar support. There's lots of adjustment for both the seats and the wheel, so a comfy position is pretty easy to achieve. There's loads of head-, leg- and hip room up front, too. Adjusting the steering wheel is a bit annoying, not simply because you have to activate the adjustment mode via the center screen, but because the thumb wheels have detents.
Moving to the back, and the rear seats are seriously comfy. It is a bench, but the outboard seats are sculpted and feel almost like full captain's chairs with support similar to the front seats. Flipping down the center seat provides armrests and cup holders for the outboard passengers. Another bright and responsive screen handles climate and infotainment functions for the rear seats, too. Leg- and hip room are again excellent, though headroom could be close if you're 6-foot or more.
