Till then, new images and movies of the Cybertruck proceed to do the rounds on-line, together with a brand new set of photographs that look very skilled—so skilled that we’ve a powerful suspicion they’re leaked official press images of the Cybertruck.
The images have been posted on X by @ya78756632, however they have been initially uploaded on Weibo by person xiaohongshu, whose watermark seems within the decrease proper nook of every picture.
The images supplies the very best look but on the Cybertruck’s dashboard—seen right here with the white trim—together with the touchscreen person interface (UI), the sq. steering wheel, the huge heart console, the sporty seats, and the glass roof.
One of many images presents a close-up of the touchscreen show, revealing part of the menu. We get to see the management tiles for the tonneau cowl (open/shut), suspension settings (entry/low/excessive), steering and mirrors adjustment, headlights, little one lock, window lock, sentry mode, automobile wash mode, and extra.
The entrance seats have beneficiant aspect bolstering and perforated materials, which suggests they’re ventilated and heated.

The banner additionally talked about that the Cybertruck’s mattress is manufactured from ultra-tough sheet molding composite (SMC), that the glass is shatter resistant, and that the truck has an ultra-hard stainless-steel exoskeleton, with all these attributes coming collectively to make it “the world’s hardest truck.”
