Off-Road Cleaning Hack: Cybertruck’s Secret Water Storage

[Urander]

Has anyone tried using the Cybertruck’s under-bed compartment to store water directly?

According to the Owner's Manual, the drain plug and top seal are designed to support not just ice - but also water. Since we're testing our bed cap with sealed side storage, we wanted to see how well the under-bed compartment holds up.

Last week, We filled it with water, then did three back-to-back 0-60 runs in Beast Mode followed by some hard braking. It spilled a couple of drops (marked in orange), but honestly, not bad at all.

We then used this cordless pressure washer from Amazon to rinse off Moab red dirt then stored the pressure washer in the side compartment of our new rack system.

After a week of daily driving (didn’t floor it once in Beast Mode), the water level was almost the same, and the seal seems to work pretty well. You can clearly see where the water touched the seal. It left a water line.

This could be the simplest, zero-cost way to carry water, wash off your truck after off-roading, or rinse off gear like bikes, kayaks, or surfboards before tossing them back in the bed. Plus, it’s a super easy way to refill this fanttik pressure washer on the go.

Anyone else tried this no-money, no-effort trick straight from the Owner’s Manual?

Honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing. Just learning as I go and soaking up everything from this forum.

The divider panels serve as baffles to reduce side to side sloshing.

A 120 volt sump pump can be dropped in and powered from the box socket. Garden hose and nozzle and you can get a few gallons where you might not otherwise be able to get them. In my case, to extinguish the smoldering remains of a slash burn.

That’s freakin’ awesome! ?

Very clever. A use I had not thought of.

 

[hemiarch]

Yes “freakin’ awesome” is exactly how I would describe that too

excellent no need for a water bladder.....

BTW, I like the lockable access panel in the roof rack. Who is the supplier?

Excellent, I had you at the top of my list , and it only gets better. Well done.

After another week of daily driving, the water level still looks almost the same. Just to be safe in case the pH starts to change, I gave the drain plug a quick test. Super easy to use, and honestly, it’s a pretty straightforward solution for water storage!?

Would anyone like any of this high quality H20?

Good for showers too. Just bought a battery power pump with shower head that works great. Use an immersion water heater plugged in right there. We’re ready for the apocalypse.

Any idea of gallons volume?

 

[hemiarch]

I think cybertruckco advertises the bladder that fits inside it as 25 gallons if memory serves

Good idea for water storage! Now I like our Cybertruck even more.
