Cargo Bed Outlets
Your Cybertruck has three AC power outlets located in the cargo bed.
To access the outlets:
- Open the tailgate (see Cargo Bed).
- Locate the outlet cover on the left side of the bed.
- Pull the left side of the panel to open the cover.
The outlet cover must be open in order for the outlets to provide power.
- 120V power outlets (20A maximum draw, combined)
- 240V power outlet (40A maximum draw, combined)
The 120V power outlets provide a maximum of 20A across both cargo bed outlets. This is independent from the 120V outlets in the cabin which also provide a maximum of 20A across both cabin outlets (see Interior Power Outlets). It is possible to pull 20A from the cabin and 20A from the cargo bed at the same time. All AC power outlets combined (120V cabin, 120V cargo bed, and the 240V cargo bed outlet) are limited to a combined maximum of 40A. If multiple devices are plugged in and drawing power at the same time, power to each device may be reduced or interrupted.
The outlets stop providing power when Cybertruck is no longer occupied (when you leave the vehicle and close the doors).
To enable power to the outlets, touch on the touchscreen. From here you can toggle power to all AC outlets and each power feed (see Connecting Accessories to the 48V Power Feeds). While the outlets are supplying power, the touchscreen shows the amount of power being used.
Keep On Cabin and Bed Outlets
If you want the outlets to continue supplying power even when the vehicle is not occupied, touch and enable Keep On Cabin and Bed Outlets. After 12 hours, or once the high voltage Battery has less than 5% remaining energy, the outlets shut off. Keep On Cabin and Bed Outlets is automatically enabled whenever you turn on the outlets using the mobile app.
CyberTent Mode
- Levels the suspension.
- Opens the tonneau cover and keeps it open by disabling the switches.
- Displays controls to adjust the front and rear lights.
- Allows outlets to be kept on
indefinitely.NoteUsing CyberTent Mode and keeping the outlets or lights on may increase power usage.
- Disables walk-away lock.NoteIt is your responsibility to ensure the vehicle is appropriately locked or attended to at all times.
To enable, touch . Cybertruck cannot be driven while CyberTent Mode is enabled.
Overload Capability
The AC outlets on Cybertruck are all capable of providing additional surge current to start almost all devices (such as power tools, motors, and compressors) up to 110LRA.
Troubleshooting AC Outlets
- Very low ambient temperatures.
- When an AC charging cable is connected to Cybertruck even if the vehicle is not actively charging.
- The high voltage Battery does not have enough charge.
- GFCI or overcurrent detection has been tripped.
If one or more outlets unexpectedly stops providing power, first ensure that you have enabled power to the outlets (touch ) and that the high voltage Battery has enough remaining charge.
Each power outlet in Cybertruck is equipped with overcurrent detection and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), which interrupts the power supply to an outlet if an issue is detected, such as a current leakage. In this case, the outlets will turn off. Overcurrent detection may happen if multiple devices plugged in at once draw too much power from the AC power outlets.
If an outlet is still not providing power, the GFCI or overcurrent detection may have been tripped. When an outlet is faulted, an option to reset the outlets becomes available. To reset:
- Disconnect all devices from all AC outlets (three outlets in the cargo bed and two in the center console).
- Touch .
- Reconnect devices and re-enable power to the outlets by touching .
