Cybertruck claims ability to power homes during grid outages

Tesla's Cybertruck account announced on social media that the vehicle can supply power to a house when the electricity grid fails. The statement highlights the truck's potential as a backup power source.

On December 18, 2025, the official Cybertruck Twitter account posted a simple yet bold declaration: "I can power your house when the grid goes down." This message, shared at 4:08 PM UTC, underscores the vehicle's designed capability to serve as an emergency power provider during outages.

The post comes from the @cybertruck handle, which is associated with Tesla's all-electric pickup truck. While specifics on how the powering works—such as required connections or duration—were not detailed in the announcement, the claim positions the Cybertruck as a reliable asset for homeowners facing power disruptions.

This capability could prove valuable in regions prone to blackouts from storms, infrastructure issues, or other disruptions. Tesla has not provided further elaboration in this initial post, but it aligns with the company's focus on versatile electric vehicle features.

Tesla has informed Cybertruck owners that the Powershare with Powerwall feature, which integrates the vehicle's battery as an extended home backup, will not arrive until mid-2026. The delay stems from technical complexities in ensuring compatibility across various Powerwall configurations. Owners, many of whom paid extra for the promised capability, have voiced disappointment over the repeated postponements.

Tesla's advanced battery technologies, including Powerwall and Megapack systems, are playing a key role in stabilizing renewable energy grids and reducing carbon emissions. Innovations in 2025, such as the Megablock platform and virtual power plants, have enabled significant clean energy output and grid support operations. These developments address intermittency issues in solar and wind power while promoting sustainability through recycling and ethical sourcing.
