If you’re someone who consistently forgets to charge their device before leaving home, then the USB ports in your car have probably come in handy. Now, if you’re a Cybertruck owner and fit that description, then you’re in luck thanks to the car having several ports, despite its minimal interior. Where are the USB ports in the Tesla Cybertruck? Continue reading for more.
USB-C Ports
The Cybertruck boasts a total of three USB-C ports in the center console, each of which can provide up to 65W of power. Here’s where you can find them:
- Inside Center Console: The first port is located in the front compartment of the center console. Once open, you’ll see the USB-C port on the front wall. See the visual from Tesla to get an idea of the exact location.
- Below Rear Touchscreen: Additionally, there are two USB-C ports located below the rear touchscreen. These are primarily meant for passengers in the back of the car. Again, Tesla has provided a useful image for your reference.
Tesla advises using USB 3.0-compliant cables when connecting a device to these ports. Failure to do so could result in slower charging speeds, connection issues, or overall lower performance. Lastly, if all three ports are in use at the same time power will be reduced.
NOTE: Don’t use the USB-C ports to power a device with a power rating that exceeds 65W. Doing so can harm both the device and the interior electronics of the Cybertruck.
USB-A Port
In addition to the 3 USB-C ports, there’s also a single USB-A port. This can be found in the glovebox of the car. When you take delivery of the Cybertruck, a flash drive will already be present in this port, which is used to store Sentry Mode and Dashcam video footage. Most drivers will reserve the use of this port for those two features, but it can be used for other things as well.
Once again, see the image provided by Tesla to know exactly where the port is located in the glovebox. Lastly, ensure you’re not connecting multiple devices using a USB hub to this port. This can prevent connected devices from being recognized by different features such as the Media Player, Sentry Mode, and more.
The Bottom Line
Where are the USB ports in the Tesla Cybertruck? There are three USB-C ports located in the center console, with one being in the front compartment and the other two located under the rear touchscreen. Additionally, there is one USB-A port that can be found in the glovebox of the vehicle. This one is primarily used to store video footage from Sentry Mode and Dashcam, however it can be used for other features as well.
