Is This The Most Cybertrucked Tesla Accessory Ever?
- Made from plastic and silicone, the aftermarket tray attaches to the steering wheel for $78.
- Teslaunch claims it turns the electric truck into a “functional workspace,” but we’re skeptical.
In the ever-expanding universe of Tesla accessories, some are genuinely useful, and then there’s this—a bizarre steering wheel tray for the Cybertruck. It’s not just oddly specific; it’s oddly expensive too, leaving you to wonder: Who and why exactly asked for this?
What you’re looking at is a weird steering wheel tray designed specifically for the electric pickup and being sold by Teslaunch, a website specializing in aftermarket accessories for Tesla’s full range of EVs. The tray, which appears to be made from a combination of plastic and rubber, slides around the center of the steering wheel and locks into place.

One photo published by the seller shows a coffee and a McDonald’s McMuffin and a cup sitting on the tray. It’s also been shown helping to prop up a phone. The description adds the tray “transforms your Cybertruck into a functional workspace” (presumably when not driving), although it doesn’t appear strong or large enough to support a laptop of a large tablet, so we don’t think many buyers will use it for work. Instead, it’d probably be best used for dining while owners sit at a public charging station and wonder why they didn’t buy a hybrid or why they’re not charging at home.
Pricey for Plastic and Rubber
At $78, this oddball accessory is surprisingly expensive for what is essentially a curved piece of plastic with a rubber base. But, as any Tesla owner knows, accessorizing your ride is never a budget-friendly affair.
Teslaunch isn’t just selling steering wheel trays. The site also offers a range of other aftermarket parts for the Cybertruck, including carbon fiber interior trims, under-seat storage boxes, and a center console organizing tray—items that might actually make the truck a bit more functional. But if you’re looking for accessories that are a little more practical than a steering wheel tray, Tesla itself has plenty of options.
From pet liners for the back seat to a massive cooler box for the frunk and a sunshade for the massive panoramic glass roof panel, Tesla’s official accessory line is stocked with items. And for more serious gear, like tailgate ramps or bumper protectors, it’s probably best to go straight to the source. After all, you don’t want to be caught charging your Cybertruck with nothing but a McMuffin and an overpriced plastic tray.
