Your Cybertruck has three AC power outlets located in
the cargo bed.
To access the outlets:
1. Open the tailgate (see Cargo Bed on page 60).
2.
Locate the outlet cover on the left side of the bed.
3.
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.
1.
120V power outlets (20A maximum draw, combined)
2.
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 on page 20). 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.
To enable power to the outlets, touch Controls > Outlets
& Mods 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 on
page 201). While the outlets are supplying power, the
touchscreen shows the amount of power being used.
You can also enable power to the outlets and power
feeds using the mobile app.
NOTE:
Leaving a device plugged in depletes the high
voltage Battery. Even if nothing is plugged in, the outlets
draw small amounts of power from the Battery
whenever they are enabled. When the charge level of
the high voltage Battery is very low, power to the outlets
shuts
o and a message is displayed on the touchscreen.
Leaving a device plugged in does not deplete the low
voltage battery.
CAUTION: Do not use the AC outlets to power a
device with a power rating that exceeds the limits
listed above.
Keep On Cabin and Bed Outlets
If you want the outlets to continue supplying power
even when the vehicle is not occupied, touch Controls >
Outlets & Mods 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 o.
Keep On Cabin and Bed Outlets is automatically
enabled whenever you turn on the outlets using the
mobile app. The outlets stop providing power when
Cybertruck is no longer occupied (when you leave the
vehicle and close the doors).
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
If one or more outlets unexpectedly stops providing
power, first ensure that you have enabled power to the
outlets (touch Controls > Outlets & Mods) 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
o.
Overcurrent detection may happen if multiple devices
plugged in at once draw too much power from the AC
power outlets.
CAUTION:
Use only "UL" Listed devices with the
AC power outlets in Cybertruck.
CAUTION:
Damage to a device or data loss (such
as from a laptop or external drive) due to a sudden
loss of power is not covered by the warranty.
If an outlet is still not providing power, the GFCI or
overcurrent detection may have been tripped. To reset it:
1. Disconnect all devices from all AC outlets (three
outlets in the
cargo bed and two in the center
console).
