Warning
The high voltage system must be serviced only by a trained technician. Do not disassemble, remove or replace high voltage components, cables or connectors. High voltage cables are typically colored orange for easy identification.

Warning
In the unlikely event that a fire occurs, exit the vehicle, move to an area at least 100 ft. (30 meters) away from Cybertruck, and immediately contact your local fire emergency responders.

Charging Equipment

Charging equipment designed specifically to charge your Cybertruck is available from Tesla.

For information on the charging equipment available for your region, go to http://shop.tesla.com.

Tesla offers:
  • Wall Connector: Installs in your parking space and is the fastest way to charge your vehicle for daily use.
  • Mobile Connector: Allows you to plug into most commonly used power outlets. When using the Mobile Connector, attach the smart adapter (if required) to the Mobile Connector before plugging it in to the power outlet, and then plug in your vehicle.
  • Adapters: Allows you to plug into the most commonly used public charging stations in your region. At a public charge station, first attach the adapter to the station's charging connector and then plug in your vehicle.

There is also a network of Superchargers, destination chargers, and other fast charging stations for when charging while traveling.

Low Voltage Battery

Cybertruck uses a 48V lithium-ion low voltage battery. The 48V battery powers the windows, doors, touchscreen, and other low voltage vehicle systems when the high voltage Battery is unavailable. The 48V battery also provides a redundant source of power for critical systems (such as power steering).

Informational PurposesAn informational icon, calling your attention
Note
48V low voltage connectors are colored blue for easy identification, and wires that operate at 48V are marked with blue tape.

By using a 48V low voltage battery instead of the 12V lead-acid battery found in many conventional vehicles, Cybertruck is able to operate more efficiently.

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
Warning
Assume that the low voltage components of Cybertruck, including all cables and connectors, are always energized. Do not handle low voltage cables or connect/disconnect connectors when the low voltage system is powered. Because the 48V low voltage system operates at a higher voltage than a typical low voltage system, there is an increased risk of personal injury, arcing, or component damage if the low voltage components of Cybertruck are handled improperly.
