Thank you for an awesome video as always. We need the back seats to fold down and a pass the rear glass to automatically move down so we can use the space through the rear for camping; no tent required.
Having owned and driven a single cab 2004 Holden Rodeo for the last 20 years, I think there is plenty of storage options in the Cybertruck! You should see the mess behind and under the seat in my Rodeo. I think if you wanted to carry a load of sand, woodchip or something like that you would have to line the tray (bed for you Americans) with a tarp or something to stop it getting down in the compartment underneath and jaming up the hinges.
Kind of crazy to see this I just noticed that you are based in San Antonio and I am in San Antonio through Saturday at the National Shooting Center in my Cybertruck, down from Ohio. 2000 miles on mine and only had it 6 days. Off to Palm Coast Florida Saturday and back to Ohio after Easter. Maybe I'll run into you?
There's a fairly large delta between what it costs Tesla to make, stock, & supply the additional plastic rear underseat storage box. There's profit margins, and then there's PROFIT MARGINS!!! 😂😂😂 Still, I can't fault Tesla for being able to get its customers to swallow its high merchandising charges right across the whole product lineup. Great review Joe. No matter the subject, your presentation style is extremely accessible; you would have made a fantastic teacher and the students would've been extremely fortunate to have had you. 😊
@@simson4t Couldn't agree more. Probably only a $20 item to stock and Tesla is famous for driving down suppliers prices of raw materials and finished items direct to their warehouse.
For construction the frunk should have been another foot… I constantly use my model Y frunk, not the rear compartment..Functional opportunity missed…The lack of a 400 mile range without the xtender, not the extra $20,000 kept me from excepting my #20,000 reservation…Love the under seat storage Ben…
I have a model 3 and keep a portable jump starter in the frunk. In case my 12 volt battery goes dead, I just need a 9v battery to pop the frunk, grab the portable jump starter, and jump the 12v. I just wish there was a better way to secure the jump starter in the frunk. Right now, I just fill the space with a tire inflator, extension cord, etc. Would be nice to be able to use the space in the CT.
I do think they need to find a solution to enlarge the frunk at put an power outlet in there but other than that there's plenty of smart, lockable storage around.
Joe, thanks for the info and also your drone flyovers with commentary. Do you know the interior length of the under seat storage box. It's not specified in the Tesla shop. Wondering if it will accommodate 48" - 52" paddles.
Thanks, Joe. Question: does the aftermarket rear storage bin interfere with the driver and passenget seats fully reclining ? (In case driver and passenger want to sleep in the cabin.) 🙏
Not at all ... it sits under the rear seats so there is no change to how the front seats recline or move and it doesn't affect the rear seat operation either.
Hey Joe, decently sure you will recognize me from starbase... Got a question that I forgot to try out when I was in your CT. One of the big complaints many have (including me) is you cant see the front edge of the truck....what I didnt try is raising the drivers seat to see if you can at least get a feel for it. Maddy and I tried it out on the beach....I sat in the driver seat and she walked closer and closer until i thought she was at the bumper...I occasionally drive an F250 and not seeing the ground in front of the truck is one thing, but not seeing the front of the hood is another...is there any seat adjustment that can make that a LITTLE more obvious? The other thing i wanted to do was measure....steering wheel to front bumper as compared to an F150 or 250. I think its actually nearly the same...the big diff is...the cybertrucks windshield would end in the middle of the F150 hood.
I keep my charger underneath the drivers seat in my MYP, easy to deploy if I’m in a hurry. I wish Tesla would design a retractable system that was part of the car…repacking the cord can be and a pain.
hi, Joe. We visited boca chica beach on March 13th, the day before IFT-3 launch. We saw a cybertruck on the beach. Was it your truck? I took a picture of my son with that truck and starship in the background. My son was super excited about both the rocket and the truck. thank you.
When the seat storage bin is installed, how does it affect the legroom and foot space for passengers sitting in the back? Is the comfort level significantly impacted?
For the charger, I found a solution.Put a non-slip mat on the floor of the front trunk.You can place the charger near to the side wall of the trunk.This will be helpful also for the other instrument or boxes that you have for your work.By doing this,no material inside, can slip from one side to the other.What do you think about this solution?😊
JT, I appreciate your content as always. However - I feel like for $100-120k Tesla should provide a $75 piece of molded plastic (marked up to $250) for under the seat. This is like extra fees on airlines - they think we are not smart enough to know its happening, but it is. Cmon Tesla - just be honest...
I'm hoping that future revisions of the CT will have vastly more built in storage. There is SO much wasted volume in this truck. The doors, the enormous windshield greenhouse, the bed sides are barely being used. I bet they could get at least 10 cubit ft. of storage in all the recesses.
@@JoeTegtmeyer I see you apparently reported and removed my paragraph explaining why you are wrong along with the link to the Tesla website. Ted, I like you and your channel and I want you to continue to succeed. Constructive criticism is an act of love.
Tesla calls it the Mobile Connector, and on their website it’s under a heading called “Chargers”. Effectively either is correct as far as its intended purpose. Most simply call it a charger. (Why use two words when one will do)
@@kyle2109 Because it is an incorrect term for a "dumb" switch. Like your cell phone, the charging circuitry is inside the device and, in the case of EVs, inside the vehicle. Apple has power adapters under their cables and chargers category but they don't call their AC to DC converters chargers, they call them power adapters.
I would like to know if you accept product promotion videos. We are a company focused on the Tesla aftermarket and would like to have professional KOLs experience our products.
@JoeTegtmeyer what I'm saying is, you're not adding storage capacity, you're decreasing it, just making it a bit more organized. I prefer without the bins so I can get the stuff without people having to get up or if you have a carseat you can still access it. Usually I don't brake hard, so everything stays under there without any issues.
They should put a 110 outlet in the frunk. Great video Joe!
Great review of CT! Tesla knew what they were doing in giving you early delivery! Great free ad!
Thanks Nelson!
Your is the first Cybertruck video I’ve seen showing the underseat bins ..👍🏾✌🏽 Thanks Joe!
🤗👍
Excellent explanation of the information. Thank you
Thanks Gary!
Your cyber truck was the first one I got to see. I was on the beach and walked up on it when ellie was interviewing Tim. Very cool
Glad you saw it and I was happy to share with everyone out on the beach … nice backdrop too with the Starship!
Thanks Joe...informative!

I like the unboxing video in the middle. You've come a long way from groundbreaking at giga Texas.
Keep up the awesome work I love the cybertruck!
great info, as usual, Mr T 👍
Awesome Video Salute 🫡 Love The Line Up Shot With The Space Craft 🫡
Joe great video. I would think that Velcro with sticky back attached to charger pouch and allow it to stick to the floor in the frunk. Great job

A charger pack fits under the Model Y passenger seat and sticks to the flooring so as not to slide about.

Yes, that was my Cybertruck! I think several thousand people saw it and took pictures/video of it that day!
THANKS, Joe
You’re welcome!
If you couldn't get the big storage add-in, you could put the charger cable bag on the floor behind the drivers seat! problem solved.
OK
When the seat storage bin is installed, how does it affect the legroom and foot space for passengers sitting in the back? Is the comfort level significantly impacted?
Cool
A thing to consider, if you use the under seat bin and have passengers sitting in the rear, you might not be able to access those items. :)
Sweet
Merci👍👍👍

Wouldn't it be better if the rear seats reclined for longer trips?
JT, I appreciate your content as always. However - I feel like for $100-120k Tesla should provide a $75 piece of molded plastic (marked up to $250) for under the seat.

Wait, these bins arent included with Foundation Series?
The prototype showed storage in the triangle sections above the rear wheels that was accessed from the outside. I'm guessing you don't have that?
Not much room left with an extended range battery and a spare on the truck bed. Perfect vehicle for FBI to collect volunteered fingerprints.
I'm hoping that future revisions of the CT will have vastly more built in storage. There is SO much wasted volume in this truck. The doors, the enormous windshield greenhouse, the bed sides are barely being used. I bet they could get at least 10 cubit ft. of storage in all the recesses.
These now apparently do not come with the 2 smaller cubbies.
A useful addition would be a hard plastic cover to protect the rear screen when the rear seating area is being used for storage of tools and the like.
mine didnt come with the bin :(
You know what it needs? A spare tire and a place to keep it. Otherwise, I can't wait to get mine.
Alot of golf bags? not sure what kind of golf bags you use but that would only hold 1 of my golf bags at best.
WE WATCHED 🤗🥶📐📐📐
I hope your lift can handle that weight.
Good information, thank you. I suspect it's a charging cable, not a "charger". Accuracy in electrical/electronic terminology, please.
Please be accurate in your questions. I assume you are asking about the mobile charger and incorrectly assuming it is just a cable?

Hey Joe. When did you put down your cybertruck order in the first place?
He said an "opportunity" arose whereby he was able to get it. He didn't go into too much more detail.
$250 USD for a piece of plastic??
8:14 doesn't have a lock for the door?
Not sure what you are asking
@@JoeTegtmeyer sorry for the late reply. I was referring to the dead of the cyber truck. Why doesn’t it have a lock on the hatch?
Velcro is the brand name. It's called hook and loop
And ….. ???
You got a trunk in the front. You got a trunk in the back and then you have a whole bed. How much more do you need? Are you going to live in it
I guess you didn't actually watch the video then?
Good review, Joe, but $250 for a plastic box!!! even as a stockholder I think that is outrageous.
I would like to know if you accept product promotion videos. We are a company focused on the Tesla aftermarket and would like to have professional KOLs experience our products.
I’d rather remove the rear seats completely.
We all should train at the Air Force academy
🤗
Buy a semi for more storage 😂
I agree, Joe definitely needs a Semi Truck and trailer for the drone, camera, charger and lens cap……….🤣😂🤣
@@commuterbranchline8132 Imagine the drone size I could have then! I could fly in it myself!
@@JoeTegtmeyerThose are coming Joe, there a few protypes out already ✅
How does adding dividersthat take up space increase storage capacity? Lol I just shove things under there.
Not sure what you are asking
@@JoeTegtmeyer I'm asking how something that takes up space increases storage capacity. Lol The space was always there.

lol I can't imagine how it must feel purchasing such a dud. Sorry you have to go through this.
you have a 6 foot bed that all the storage you need LOL
At the price you paid, that should be included with the rest of the cheap and nasty interior
Try buying a Porsche … it’s far worse what you have to pay for that should be standard.
I've seen videos of the frunk almost taking peoples fingers off
OK … and you want to tell me because?
mobile connector is not a charger.
250 for a piece of plastic lol
