Interior Electronics

Note

Depending on market region, configuration, and vehicle manufacture date, your vehicle may not be equipped with a rear touchscreen or interior outlets.

In addition to storage compartments and cup holders (see Interior Storage), the Cybertruck interior supports various electronics such as an RFID transmitter that reads key cards (see Keys), USB-C ports, wireless phone chargers, a power outlet in the center console, and a power outlet below the rear touchscreen (if equipped).

USB-C Ports

Cybertruck has four USB ports.

There are three USB-C ports in the center console, each of which can provide up to 65W of power:

One USB-C port is located in the center console. This port can be used to charge a USB-C device.
Two USB-C ports are located on the rear of the center console below the rear touchscreen and can be used to charge USB-C devices.
Vehicles equipped with a rear touchscreen:
Vehicles not equipped with a rear touchscreen:

Note

Use USB 3.0 compliant cables to connect a device to a USB-C port. Using non-compliant cables may result in slower charging, connection problems, or degraded performance.

Note

If all three USB-C ports are in use at the same time, power to each port will be reduced.

CAUTION

Do not use the USB-C ports to power a device with a power rating that exceeds the limits listed above.

There is also a USB-A port in the glovebox. This port is equipped with a USB-A flash drive. This port can be used to play media from a phone or USB-A drive (see Playing Media from Devices) or to save Sentry Mode and Dashcam video footage.

Note

Do not connect multiple devices using a USB hub. This can prevent connected devices from charging or from being recognized by Media Player, Sentry Mode, Dashcam, etc.

Wireless Phone Chargers

Wireless phone chargers are integrated into the front console, providing up to 15W of power to charge Qi-enabled phones. To charge your phone, place it on one of the two charge pads. The phone must be in direct contact with the wireless charger. Your device may feel warm while charging, but this is a normal effect of inductive charging.

CAUTION

Before you charge, remove any objects (coins, keys, metal objects, etc.) between the phone and charger, as well as any NFC cards (for example, the vehicle key card, credit cards, or hotel key) placed on or behind the phone (like with integrated phone cases). Damage to NFC cards can occur when you charge the phone without first removing the card.

Note

The wireless phone chargers are in the same location as the key card readers (see Key Card).

When placed on the wireless charger, your phone charges whenever the vehicle is powered on (the touchscreen is on and you are in the vehicle). Your phone does not charge when you leave the vehicle unless a feature, such as Sentry Mode, is enabled.

Note

The phone must be in direct contact with the wireless charger. If you place objects between the phone and the charger (for example, credit cards, key cards, coins, keys, metal objects, etc.), or if your phone case is too large or is made of metal, the wireless charger may not work. Try removing the phone from its case before placing it on the charger.

Interior Power Outlets

Note

Depending on market region, configuration, and vehicle manufacture date, your vehicle may not be equipped with interior outlets.

The Cybertruck center console is equipped with two NEMA 5-20 120V power outlets capable of providing up to 20A combined. To enable power to the outlets, touch Controls > Outlets & Mods. Touch Enable Cabin Outlets on Entry to enable them by default when you enter Cybertruck.

If an outlet is not providing power as expected, see Troubleshooting AC Outlets.

Note

The 120V power outlets provide 20A maximum draw between both outlets. If multiple devices are plugged in and drawing power at the same time, power to each device may be reduced or interrupted.

Note

Power to AC outlets may be disabled in very low ambient temperatures.

Note

Power to AC outlets is disabled when an AC charging cable is connected to Cybertruck even if the vehicle is not actively charging.

Power to AC outlets is still available when Cybertruck is DC charging (while Supercharging, for example). See Charging Instructions.

Note

Two 120V power outlets are also located in the cargo bed, in addition to a 240V power outlet (see Cargo Bed Outlets).

To access the front power outlet, open the front compartment of the center console (see Interior Storage). The power outlet is located on the front wall of the compartment:

The rear power outlet is located below the rear touchscreen:

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.

CAUTION

Always check each outlet for damage before use.

CAUTION

Damage to Cybertruck caused by an external device that is plugged in to an outlet is not covered by the warranty.

Warning

The power outlets and a device's plug can become hot.

Warning

As with any outlet, do not leave children unattended near the cabin outlets.

Warning

Do not insert any objects into the outlets other than electrical plugs. Treat the outlets on Cybertruck the same as you would any other outlet, and take care to ensure proper handling. Misusing outlets can cause serious injury.

Accessory Power

Power is available when the vehicle is in use or detects that a user is present. A user is considered present when a person is in the driver's seat, interacts with the touchscreen, or when in Camp, CyberTent Mode, or Keep Outlets On. Leaving an accessory plugged in does not deplete the low voltage battery.

If you want to continue powering or charging your devices without a user present in the vehicle, enable Keep Accessory Power On by touching Controls > Charging > Keep Accessory Power On (see Keep Outlets On for more information). This is not available when Cybertruck is in Low Power Mode (see Low Power Mode).

Note

Enabling Keep Accessory Power On increases the amount of power used by the vehicle even if the vehicle is not powering or charging a device.
