Tesla Cybertruck 2025-2026 Cargo Bed Outlets
Cargo Bed Outlets
NOTE: Depending on market region, configuration, and vehicle manufacture date, your vehicle may not be equipped with cargo bed outlets.
Your Cybertruck has three AC power outlets located in the cargo bed.
Accessing the Outlets
- Open the tailgate (see Cargo Bed on page 60).
- 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 for power to be provided.
Outlet Ratings
- 120V power outlets: 20A maximum draw, combined
- 240V power outlet: 40A maximum draw, combined
The 120V cargo bed outlets share a 20A limit, independent from 120V cabin outlets. Total combined draw from all AC outlets (120V cabin, 120V cargo bed, 240V cargo bed) is limited to 40A. Power may be reduced if multiple devices are used simultaneously.
The outlets stop providing power when Cybertruck is unoccupied. Enable power via Controls > Outlets & Mods on the touchscreen or using the mobile app. The touchscreen displays power usage while outlets are active.
NOTE: Leaving a device plugged in draws power from the high voltage Battery. If the Battery is very low, outlets shut off and a message appears on the touchscreen. Low voltage battery is not affected.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the power ratings listed above.
Keep Outlets On
To supply power when the vehicle is unoccupied, enable Keep Outlets On via Controls > Outlets & Mods. Outlets shut off after 12 hours or if high voltage Battery drops below 5%. This feature is automatically enabled when using the mobile app.
CyberTent Mode
After installing the CyberTent, enable CyberTent Mode for optimal comfort:
- Levels the suspension
- Opens the tonneau cover and disables switches to keep it open
- Displays controls for front and rear lights
- Allows outlets to remain on indefinitely
- Disables walk-away lock
NOTE: Using CyberTent Mode may increase power usage. Cybertruck cannot be driven while CyberTent Mode is enabled. Always ensure the vehicle is locked or attended.
Overload Capability
AC outlets provide additional surge current to start most devices (up to 110LRA).
Troubleshooting AC Outlets
AC outlets may be disabled due to:
- Very low ambient temperatures
- Connected AC charging cable
- Insufficient high voltage Battery charge
- Tripped GFCI or overcurrent detection
- Cybertruck in Low Power Mode
Each outlet has overcurrent and GFCI protection. To reset:
- Disconnect all devices from AC outlets
- Touch Controls > Outlets & Mods > Reset
- Reconnect devices and re-enable power via Controls > Outlets & Mods > AC Outlets
NOTE: Power to AC outlets is available while DC charging (Supercharging).
Warnings and Cautions
- CAUTION: Check outlets for damage before use.
- CAUTION: Keep outlet cover closed when not in use or during AC charging.
- CAUTION: Damage from external devices is not covered by warranty.
- CAUTION: Secure cargo while using outlets.
- WARNING: Outlets and plugs may become hot. Use caution when unplugging.
- WARNING: Do not insert objects other than electrical plugs.
- WARNING: Protect outlets from moisture and foreign objects.
- WARNING: Do not use wet or snow-covered outlets.

- The electric grid stops supplying power
- The high voltage Battery has more energy than the Powershare discharge limit
- Cybertruck is connected to the Universal Wall Connector
CAUTION: Your home may lose power briefly when Powershare begins.
Status Indicators
- Energy remaining: Total estimated driving distance or energy percentage. Energy available to Powershare is shown in green.
- Powershare rate: Power currently being provided by the high voltage Battery.
- Powershare discharge limit: Battery level at which Powershare stops providing power.
Maximum Draw
Cybertruck provides up to 11.5 kW. Maximum may be limited by home charging station (Tesla recommends 240V circuit).
Setting the Discharge Limit
Adjust the slider in the Tesla mobile app. Remaining energy above the discharge limit is displayed on the touchscreen or via Controls > Charging.
Stopping and Restarting Powershare
- Stop: Controls > Charging > Stop Powershare
- Restart: Controls > Charging > Start Powershare
