Running Out of Range

Warning IconA warning icon, calling your attention to a possibly risky situation
CAUTION
It is your responsibility to monitor the state of the high voltage Battery and the remaining range of your vehicle. Do not assume that there is any range available when the range displayed on the touchscreen is at 0 miles (0 km) (or 0%). Damage to the low voltage battery due to running out of range is not covered by the warranty.

Note
In the unlikely event your vehicle runs out of range while driving, pull over when safe to do so and contact Tesla Roadside Assistance or your preferred tow provider.

If Cybertruck runs out of range, the low voltage system is no longer supported – and when the low voltage battery runs out of power, the vehicle cannot charge. Therefore, the low voltage system must be supported by an external power supply to allow you to charge the High Voltage (HV) Battery. Once the vehicle begins charging, the external power supply is no longer required.

In the case of running out of range away from a charger, the tow provider should transport Cybertruck to the nearest charging station and unload the vehicle within the charging cable's reach. Once the vehicle is positioned next to a charger, follow these instructions:

Note
If the vehicle is being transported to a charger, make sure the tow provider does not leave until confirming that the vehicle's high voltage Battery is successfully charging.
  1. Jump start the low voltage system (see Jump Starting). The low voltage battery must be jump started to support the high voltage Battery.
  2. Wait a few minutes. Once the touchscreen powers on, plug the charge cable into Cybertruck to begin charging the high voltage Battery.
  3. When Cybertruck begins to charge, disconnect the external power supply from the low voltage jump posts.

    Warning
    Shut off the external power supply before removing either cable. Removing the cables while the external power source is active may cause arcing.

    Note
    If Cybertruck is still not able to shift into Drive after charging the high voltage Battery, the low voltage battery may need additional time to recover. Reconnect the charge cable, wait several minutes, disconnect the charge cable, and then try again.

Before transporting to a non-Tesla charger, ensure your vehicle is equipped with an adapter that accommodates the specific type of charging station you will be using. Even at a non-Tesla charger, you will need to jump start the low voltage system before you can begin charging.

CAUTION
Always ensure Cybertruck has enough range for your drive, or for being stored for an extended period. Do not rely on the range estimates displayed on the touchscreen or mobile app as range can decrease faster than projected due to ambient temperature, driving habits, wind, vehicle settings (such as Sentry Mode), etc.
