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 CybertruckModel SModel XModel 3Model Y is no longer occupied (when you leave
the vehicle and close the doors).
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 1429). 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.
