# New Interior Pics Show the Tesla Cybertruck Has a Separate Gauge Cluster

![](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/07/Tesla-Cybertruck-Hero-1-of-1.jpg>)

It's been almost three years since the reveal of the [Tesla Cybertruck](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/42810/tesla-cybertruck-prototype-spotted-with-first-updates-since-its-reveal>) and we haven't heard much about it since. Aside from a [debunked social media stunt](<https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/26/20983450/cybertruck-ford-f-150-tug-of-war-unfair-challenge>), some murky spy photos, and often [hyperbolic tweets](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1465414969286090753>) from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, we don't usually hear about it unless it's another delay. Now, we can see some new interior photos from *[KSBW 8](<https://www.ksbw.com/article/tesla-cybertruck-inside-dashboard-first-look-elon-musk/40211536>)*, during an event at the opening of Elkhorn Battery in Monterey County, California.

Elkhorn Battery is a new battery energy storage system facility that uses 256 Tesla Megapacks, which have a total capacity of 730 MWh. For its opening ceremony June 6 a Tesla Cybertruck was on hand to celebrate. While there, Jerrett Knapp of *KSBW 8* was able to grab some photos of the Cybertruck's interior, which is the first good look around its cabin since the reveal.

The photos show what seems to be a mostly finished but spartan interior. It uses a similar looking infotainment screen and the same steering yoke as a [Tesla Model S](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/38969/the-refreshed-tesla-model-s-has-a-goofy-kitt-style-steering-wheel>) but the Cybertruck in these photos lacks an airbag, so it might not be a test mule. Instead, it could be used more for promotional purposes, such as the Elkhorn Battery ceremony, which wouldn't be surprising given it's still in the early stages of production.

There are some unique details to this Cybertruck's cabin, though. For instance, its seats look slightly different than those in every other Tesla, it seems to have a small digital gauge cluster ahead of the driver—new since the reveal—and a big, chunky, truck-like armrest with some storage. It also has some very funky A-pillar windows, which look like they could be difficult to see out of.

It's unclear when the Tesla Cybertruck might become a reality. However, these photos do seem to show a more production-ready version, even if production might still be far off.

## Author
Nico is a writer and reviewer from New Jersey who probably thinks he’s a lot funnier than he actually is. His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews.
