In a recent Twitter leak, user @ray4tesla unveiled a video taken inside Tesla’s Texas Gigafactory, showcasing several Cybertruck pre-production units with their front trunks open and inner linings installed. This sneak peek gives enthusiasts a first look at the true size of the all-electric pickup truck’s front storage area.
The eight-second vertical video also briefly reveals the Cybertruck’s suspension in what appears to be its lowest ride height setting, adding to the excitement surrounding the upcoming vehicle’s capabilities.
While previous spy shots of the yet-to-be-finalized electric truck hinted at a spacious front trunk, they featured initial prototypes without the final interior liner, leaving uncertainties about its actual depth. With this recent leak, however, we can now get a clearer understanding of what lies under the hood of the Cybertruck.

Upon initial observation, it seems that the front trunk’s size may be somewhat smaller than that of its main competitor, the Ford F-150 Lightning, known for its impressive 400-pound carrying capacity and 14.1 cubic feet (400 liters) of cargo space.

Although exact dimensions of the Cybertruck’s frunk remain undisclosed, a visual comparison suggests that Ford currently holds the upper hand in this aspect.
As for further technical details, eager enthusiasts will have to await the official delivery event, projected to take place in the third quarter, possibly in September. It is during this event that Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, is expected to reveal all the highly-anticipated information about this angular EV.

When the Cybertruck was first unveiled to the public in 2019, Tesla announced plans for three powertrain options: a single-motor rear-wheel drive variant with an estimated range of 250 miles (402 kilometers), a dual-motor all-wheel drive version with around 300 miles (482 km) of range, a tri-motor AWD trim with an impressive 500 miles (804 km) of range, and a quad-motor AWD boasting a staggering 620 miles (998 km) of range on a single charge.
Initially priced to start just below $40,000, these details were later removed from Tesla’s official website in October 2021, leaving uncertainty surrounding the final offerings and pricing of the much-anticipated electric pickup truck. Automotive enthusiasts and potential buyers eagerly await the official unveiling to see what the Cybertruck will bring to the table
