Tesla doesn’t do anything new, but they always manage to present it in a way that makes it seem like it has never been done before, even by themselves. Tesla is not just about cars; it’s about marketing, and today’s marketing is top-notch. Not like Project 42.
Tesla has unveiled today the front seats of the Cybertruck, the highly anticipated electric pickup truck presented by Elon Musk in 2020, in a new video released on their official Twitter page.
In reality, the video showcases Tesla’s seat testing robot in action, but it is highly likely that the seats being tested are intended for the Cybertruck.
Reasons to believe in Cybertruck seats
We say this for two main reasons: they don’t resemble the seats used in any other Tesla vehicle currently on sale, and they feature the same controls as seen in a photo from May that showcased the interior of the Cybertruck.
The short video is accompanied by the caption, “Our seat testing robot performs 50,000 ingress/egress cycles, equivalent to a lifetime of use,” which should reassure future Tesla Cybertruck owners.
Now, while Tesla doesn’t provide any specific information about the seats, we can draw some conclusions based on their appearance. Similar to the front seats in the Model 3/Y and the Model S/X, these seats seem to have independent headrests.
However, the headrests appear to be much better integrated into the overall seat design, giving it a sporty seat look. The Cybertruck seats also seem to offer significantly more lateral bolstering in the backrest, which is a positive feature, especially if the bolsters are adjustable.
The upholstery appears to be vegan leather, and we see no reason why Tesla would use anything else when all their current models offer the same type of material. Did you like the video? Most likely, it is quite addictive.
