$59k Base Dual-Motor AWD Cybertruck Begin Delivery!

[Lyonessjo]

I don't think it was ever $400. I bought my "regular" NACS connector back in Aug of 2024 and it was $450 then. Universal was $580 at that time.
Now the price difference is only $65.

The regular charger was $450 last month.

Im a first time EV buyer so my account is blank. I haven't purchased anything.

Well oops, says the same thing on the universal charger but I clicked on it and it will allow me to purchase it even though I get the same message that its not compatible

The regular charger i cant even buy

Ok - it's what I thought. Tesla shop usually checks to see if the item you are looking at is compatible with any of the vehicle in your account. If there is one, it says it by name. If there are more than one, it says "not compatible with any vehicle in your account". It doesn't count order / reservation.

For just $65 price difference, you definitely want to get the Universal Connector. It's the only one compatible with powershare feature of your CT.

Is it cheaper to get if I add it to my Cybertruck order or are prices the same?

The price if you add to order or separately buy from Tesla shop - same, at least it was for me.

Anyone thinking of buying your first (or an additional ) wall connector, I would highly recommend the universal over the regular. Besides being the only one that is compatible with powershare feature, it also has an extra set of lugs inside - which means you can literally run another wall connector (if you need two) from it, without the need for a separate circuit or a junction box. Actually, that is what Tesla suggests and it is fully code compliant.

And you will be ready for your friend/family's non NACS EVs too.

Anyone know why the wall connector on tesla.com is not compatible with cybertruck?

You had me worried for minute

So, did you buy the gateway and the UWC separately?
Tesla has a bundle that includes both for $1970.

Does anyone know when the production year changes from 2026 to 2027

I am 2-1/2 days and 8 pages behind, but I will give my belated response. Since Tesla "model years" are an arbitrary date when they start changing a digit in the VIN, there is no absolute line in the sand. But since Tesla does not use conventional legacy auto, "New for 2027!!!!" style marketing, they have no incentive to call mid-2026 builds as "2027" trucks.
I picked up my PAWD truck on 12/14/24. My truck was built in mid-November and is a 2024 model. From my avid Tesla fanboy watching, and being an owner since 2018, I would say that Tesla historically flips model years on or around the Thanksgiving break.
There is no absolute, and Tesla *could* arbitrarily decide to make "2027s" earlier this year, but I think those hoping for "2027 models" in September will be disappointed. This isn't Ford, GM, or Toyota, (thankfully).

Someone lucky took delivery today in Knoxville, TN. Saw it in person when dropping off my Model 3 for service this morning getting prepped.

Mobile Connector: 32A on a 14-50, ~20 mi/hr. Portable, good backup.
Wall Connector: 48A hardwired, ~30 mi/hr (needs a 60A circuit — on a 50A you’re at 25).
Universal Wall Connector: same 48A, built-in J1772. Worth the premium if a non-Tesla ever parks in your garage.if you are thinking of using your CT as a backup power source, you will need the UWC along with the Power Share.

I just took out my 14-50 and installed the WC for my Model Y and the UWC for the CT.

I would gladly send you the 14-50 plug if you need it. I have no use for it.

Don‘t overspend on your charger setup.

I converted my unused 30A 220v dryer outlet in my garage for $10 with a new NEMA 14-50 outlet so it’s compatible with the 220v Tesla plug.

We have used this setup since early 2021 for our Model Y and I use it to charge our new SAWD Cybertruck as well. The CT fits in our carport that I back into. The charging cord in the garage easily reaches the CT charge port.

This low cost setup charging works perfectly for both of our EV's. I know it won't work for everyone to due the length of the charging cable.

I have both vehicles set to charge at a gentle 24amps. We get roughly 13 miles of range per hour when plugged in.

Thanks for the offer. I can pay you. What brand is it. Tesla said only 3 brands can work. Taylor and a couple of others.

Do you know what the efficiency looks like for nema vs wall charger. I have read alot of the electricity doesn't make it to the battery on a mobile connector at 110v. Dont know if that is true on mobile @ 240v.

Don't quote me but something like wall charger is 90% efficient and mobile at 110v is 60%

You’re onto something with the 110v thing, but I don’t think it’s the mobile connector’s fault.

The car uses a chunk of power just sitting there running its cooling and computers while it charges. On 110v you’re trickling in so little that most of it gets eaten up by that. On 240v you’re pushing way more in, so that same overhead barely matters.
So mobile on a 14-50 should be about the same as a wall connector. It’s the same cable path into the same charger in the car either way.
The wall connector’s real perk is just speed — 48 amps instead of 32. On the Cybertruck that’s about 30 mi/hr vs 20.
On the brand question, I think that’s about the outlet itself, not the cable. The cheap 14-50s aren’t made to sit at 32 amps for hours and they can overheat. Hubbell’s the one people usually point to.

I need to look what brand of 14-50 I have. I do remember I didn’t buy a cheap brand. Been using it since 2021.

If it’s just one vehicle a 14-50 (220/240) outlet would be fine. Plug it in each night, wake up to a full charge in the morning. I went the WC/ UWC only to take advantage of the electric co-op’s rebates. If I schedule my charges between 10:00pm and 5:00am, I get $0.05 per kW for the first 400kW. That’s 1200 miles a month for $20 on my Model Y.

It had to be the hard wired WC and not the mobile connector for the rebate.

NEMA 14-50 and the Mobile connector.
