A Tesla Cybertruck spotted cruising through the streets of Austin, Texas, has given away some of its interior secrets, including ambient lighting, front camera view details, and backlit steering wheel buttons.

It seems as though you can't shake a tree these days without Tesla Cybertruck sightings falling on your head, but every time the upcoming electric pickup truck is spotted, new details about its features, design, production, or flaws come to light. The most recent Cybertruck sighting to reveal some of the vehicle's secrets comes by way of u/ThrowAwayBarista69 on Reddit.

This sighting is one of very few looks we've had at the interior of the Cybertruck — especially one out on the road as Tesla intended. There are a few notable interior features to be seen in the images, specifically interior ambient lighting, a redesigned yoke with backlit, presumably capacitive, buttons, and a full-screen view of the front bumper camera.

The ambient lighting in the Cybertruck appears to wrap around the vehicle along the top of all the door panels and across the front of the dashboard. While it's set to red in this particular example, the colour is presumably customisable. The updated yoke in the Cybertruck has been seen in previous leaks, but this appears to be the first confirmation we've seen that the Cybertruck will also have white backlighting on its yoke.

Along with a redesigned form, the new yoke also appears to have a different button layout to previous iterations — this aligns with previously-leaked interior shots showing the steering wheel. Along with the redesigned yoke, it appears that the Tesla Cyebrtruck will allow users to use the front camera in an almost-fullscreen view to help gauge distance when approaching objects or following vehicles closely. Perhaps that vast, featureless dash impedes visibility more than Tesla would like.

This particular sighting also gives us a good look at the front LED light bar at night, as opposed to the previous daytime footage that always seemed to have shutter-speed-induced flicker effects interfering with the LED consistency and brightness.
