Overview
Interior Electronics
In addition to storage compartments and cup holders (see Interior Storage on page 72), the Cybertruck interior
supports various electronics such as an RFID transmitter that reads key cards (see Keys on page 32), USB-C ports,
wireless phone chargers, a power outlet in the center console, and a power outlet below the rear touchscreen.

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 front compartment of the center console. This port can be used to charge a
USB-C device.

• Two USB-C ports are located below the rear touchscreen and can be used to charge USB-C devices.

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.

Overview
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 on page 186) 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, each providing up to 15W of power to charge Qienabled phones. Simply place your phone on the charger, phone screen facing you. Your device may feel warm while
charging, but this is a normal effect of inductive charging.

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. Do not place objects between the phone and
the charger (for example, credit cards, key cards, coins, keys, metal objects, etc.), and may not work if your phone
case is too large or is made of metal. Try removing the phone from its case before placing it on the charger.
NOTE: The wireless phone charger does not charge if the vehicle's high voltage Battery is discharged.

Owner's Manual

Overview
Cargo Bed Outlets
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 79).
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.
NOTE: The cargo bed outlets are disabled while in Drive.

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 231).
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 off 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.

Owner's Manual

22

Overview
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, the outlets shut off. 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,
including power tools, motors, and compressors, similar to normal grid connected AC outlets. However, Cybertruck
does not source as much fault current as the power grid.

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 off. 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 the AC outlets: three outlets in the cargo bed and two in the center console.
2. Touch Controls > Outlets & Mods > Reset.
3. Reconnect devices and re-enable power to the outlets by touching Controls > Outlets & Mods > AC Outlets.
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 on page 193.

Warnings and Cautions
CAUTION: Always check each outlet for damage before use.
CAUTION: Keep the outlet cover closed when the cargo bed outlets are not in use.
CAUTION: Keep the outlet cover closed when Cybertruck is AC charging, especially in wet weather. AC
charging may be disabled if moisture enters one of the outlets.
CAUTION: Damage to Cybertruck caused by an external device that is plugged in to an outlet is not covered
by the warranty.
CAUTION: Use caution when driving Cybertruck while accessories are plugged in to the cargo bed outlets.
Ensure that all objects in the cargo bed are properly secured (see Securing Cargo on page 82).

Cabin Camera
Your Cybertruck is equipped with a cabin camera located above the rear view mirror. The cabin camera can
determine driver inattentiveness and enhances active safety features (such as Forward Collision Warning). You can
also view the feed from this camera when Sentry Mode Live Camera is enabled (see Sentry Mode on page 165)
using the Tesla mobile app.

Data Sharing
By default, images and video from the camera do not leave the vehicle itself and are not transmitted to anyone,
including Tesla, unless you enable data sharing. If you enable data sharing and a safety critical event occurs (such as
a collision), Cybertruck shares short cabin camera video clips with Tesla to help us develop future safety
enhancements and continuously improve the intelligence of features that rely on the cabin camera. Data may also be
shared if diagnostics are required on cabin camera functionality. Cabin camera does not perform facial recognition or
any other method of identity verification. To protect your privacy, cabin camera data is not associated with your
vehicle identification number.
To adjust your data sharing preferences touch Controls > Software > Data Sharing > Allow Cabin Camera Analytics.
You can change your data sharing settings at any time.

Cleaning a Camera
To ensure a clear picture, the camera lens must be clean and free of obstructions, condensation, or damage.
Condensation can form inside the camera enclosures, especially if you park outside in cold or wet conditions. The
touchscreen may display an alert stating that a camera is blocked and that some (or all) Autopilot features may be
temporarily restricted until the camera vision is clear. To proactively dry the condensation, precondition the cabin by
setting it to a warm temperature, turning the windshield defroster on, and directing the front air vents toward the
door pillars (see Mobile App on page 84).
Remove any build-up of dirt or debris by spraying water onto the camera lens and carefully drying it with a
microfiber cloth. Clean the camera lens at least weekly during wet weather (snow, rain, sleet) and every month
during dry weather.

Owner's Manual

Overview
The front-facing camera is equipped with a sprayer nozzle. To clean the front-facing camera, touch the
App Launcher, select the Camera app, and press the spray icon.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical-based or abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage the surface of the lens.

Drive to Calibrate Cameras
Before some Autopilot features can be used for the first time or after some types of service repairs, cameras must
complete a self-calibration process. When the cameras are calibrating, the touchscreen displays a progress indicator.
When calibration is complete, Autopilot features are available for use.
Calibration typically completes after driving 20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on the
conditions. Calibration completes more quickly when driving on a straight road that has multiple lanes and highly
visible lane markings in both the driving lane and adjacent lanes (at least two lanes over on each side of the vehicle).
For best results, drive in the middle lane of a multi-lane highway (ideally with at least five lanes) that has clear lane
markings and minimal traffic.
Schedule a service appointment only if your Cybertruck has not completed the calibration process after driving
approximately 100 miles (160 km) in the described conditions.
If a camera has shifted from its previously calibrated position (for example, the camera or windshield was replaced),
clear the calibration by touching Controls > Service > Camera Calibration > Clear Calibration. When the calibration
is cleared, Cybertruck repeats the calibration process.
NOTE: Cybertruck must repeat the calibration process if the cameras are serviced by Tesla, and in some cases after a
software update.
NOTE: If you attempt to use a feature that is not available until the calibration process is complete, the feature is not
available and the touchscreen displays a message.

Keys
Types of Keys
NOTE: In the event you lose both key cards, schedule a service appointment through the mobile app to replace and
pair them.
Cybertruck supports the following types of keys:
• Phone key - You can set up your personal phone as a "phone key" that communicates with Cybertruck using
Bluetooth (BLE). A phone key supports automatic locking and unlocking.
• Key card - Tesla provides a key card that communicates with Cybertruck using short range radio-frequency
identification (RFID) signals. The key card is used to "authenticate" phone keys to work with Cybertruck and to
add or remove other keys. Unlike the phone key, the key card does not support automatic locking and unlocking.
In situations where your phone key has a dead battery, or is lost or stolen, use your key card to unlock, drive, and
lock Cybertruck.
Cybertruck supports a total of 19 keys, which can include phone keys and key cards.
CAUTION: Remember to bring a key (and a backup key) with you when you drive. Although you can drive
Cybertruck away from its key, you will be unable to power it back on after it powers off.

Phone Key
CAUTION: Do not leave your paired phone in your vehicle (for example, if you are hiking or at the beach). If

Cybertruck can connect to three phone keys simultaneously. Therefore, if more than three phone keys are detected
and you want to authenticate or pair a different phone, move the other connected phone key(s) out of range or turn
off its Bluetooth setting.
Once a phone has been authenticated, it no longer requires an internet connection to be used as a phone key for
Cybertruck. However, to use the phone hands-free, access your phone's contacts, play media from it, etc., you must
also pair it and connect it as a Bluetooth device (see Bluetooth on page 88).
NOTE: Some Android smartphones with NFC capability can be used to lock/unlock your vehicle, just like using a key
card. Ensure the Tesla mobile app is correctly paired to your vehicle and enable the NFC function on your phone.
Once enabled, simply hold the phone to the driver's side door pillar to lock or unlock the door. Refer to your
smartphone's instructions for specific information on how to do this.

Key Card
Tesla provides you with two Cybertruck key cards, designed to fit in your wallet.
To use a key card to unlock or lock Cybertruck from outside, position the card as shown and tap it against the card
reader located approximately one third the way up of the driver's side door pillar. When Cybertruck detects the key
card, the exterior lights flash, the mirrors unfold or fold (if Fold Mirrors is on), the horn sounds (if Lock Confirmation
Sound is on), and the doors unlock or lock. You may need to hold the key card against the transmitter for a few
seconds.

Once inside, power up Cybertruck by pressing the brake pedal within two minutes of scanning the key card (see
Starting and Powering Off on page 94). If you wait longer than two minutes, you must re-authenticate by placing
