Pre-production of the Tesla Cybertruck has begun in Texas, and details about the much-delayed electric truck are starting to emerge. While official information is still scarce, a video taken inside the factory shows that the model is equipped with a small stock.
Posted on TikTok, the eight-second flick shows a handful of pre-production Cybertruck models parked with their trunk (and in some cases, their doors) open. Although we can’t tell what the inside of the trunk looks like, we can see enough to get an idea of its size: It extends from the front bumper to the front axle line, and it doesn’t look particularly deep. It may be larger than the car you enter in, say, a Model 3 or Model Y, but it’s also much smaller than the one offered by the Ford F-150 Lightning. Seems big enough for a small purse and some bags.

This is due to the Cybertruck’s polarizing proportions, which were chosen because company co-founder and CEO Elon Musk finds Ford trucks “boring.” Giving the model a more truck-like silhouette akin to the F-150 or Chevrolet Silverado would have brought a longer, longer hood and allowed designers to carve out more headroom, but the end result would have been a more traditional look. While it’s usually hard to decipher what’s going on with Tesla, we’re guessing the brand knew the design would be a bigger selling point than the high price tag.
Having a storage cart is an advantage in the truck world, because it gives users room to stow items they don’t want left in the open cargo box or in the cabin. However, Cybertruck was spotted With a powered boot lid that’s thick enough to stand on. It remains to be seen if this feature will carry over to the production model (and whether it will be standard or optional), but it’s one way owners will be able to keep their gear dry. If Tesla doesn’t offer it, I’d bet the cost of reserving the Cybertruck the aftermarket will do.
