Cybertruck Center Console USB-PD Charging Specifications

[AlphaG]

Tesla states in the user manual that each of the three USBC ports can deliver up to 65w. I was if there was a USB specification or more that was supported. So I plugged in a USB tester and discovered that these the ports support the USB PD 3.0 specification up to 60w. Not sure where Tesla came up with 65w but close enough I guess.

I also discovered, when trying to charge a power station that can draw up to 100w, that the port was actually delivering just over 80w. Apparently devices over the USB PD 3.0 spec can negotiate more power (up to 100w) if available, so that's nice!

Apologies for the blurry pics, it was an awkward angle!

It advertises 65W with one or two ports active. 42W with all three.

Yes but I did measure it. Over 80w continuous with one device.

Sure, I was addressing the 60W vs 65W profile issue.

Gotcha. You are certainly more advanced than I am at this.

Maybe? I am interested in the 80W setup you had. If there is a way to boost one USB-C port, that would be cool to figure out.
