Father of four builds six-seat Cybertruck for family travel

A father of four modified his Tesla Cybertruck into a six-seater by installing a custom middle front seat after removing the center console, enabling comfortable family trips despite the vehicle's standard five-seat setup.

The Tesla Cybertruck's standard configuration seats five, with a fixed front center console blocking a bench layout. To accommodate his family, one owner—a father of four—took a DIY approach.

He removed the console and bolted in a thin, upright custom seat between the driver and passenger positions. Covered in matching interior fabric with an integrated seatbelt, it seamlessly blends in and allows three upfront, for six total passengers.

This personal project showcases Cybertruck adaptability for families, though Tesla has not endorsed it. Safety for such modifications requires professional verification, as they may lack features like airbags needed for compliance.

Details on the father's identity or location are unavailable, but the mod echoes growing owner creativity in customizing the electric pickup.
