How to Jump Start a Tesla Cybertruck

1. Open the powered frunk using the no-power opening procedure.
2. Pull the maintenance panel upward firmly to release its trim clips and remove it.
3. Connect the power supply's red positive (+) cable to the horizontal jump post next to the brake fluid reservoir, marked +.
4. Connect the black negative (-) cable to the vertical jump post marked -, which serves as the ground.
5. If the supply is variable, set it to between 12V and 16.5V or between 30V and 50V.
6. Turn on the external power supply and touch the touchscreen to wake the vehicle.
7. When power is no longer needed, shut off the supply, then disconnect both cables starting with the black negative (-) cable.
8. Put the maintenance panel back and press down until secure, then close the powered frunk.

• Use jump cables 30 ft. (9 meters) or shorter; Cybertruck cannot be used to jump start another vehicle.
• Do not change a variable supply's voltage while the cables are connected.
• If using another vehicle, follow that manufacturer's instructions; the touchscreen may take several minutes to wake.
