Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently winked at the idea of traveling around or maybe even living in a five-wheeled RV or a small house in Cybertruck. In an interaction on Twitter, the CEO confirmed that small homeowners would be able to power their homes with the massive, fully electric pickup truck.
The idea to use the Cybertruck for ‘cyberliving’ did not start long after the vehicle was launched at the end of 2019. Even before the shock of the Cybertruck design disappeared, a number of RV enthusiasts and small homeowners shared their insights and excitement about the time to come. fully electric pickup.

The Cybertruck will in all likelihood contain a sample battery pack that is likely to contain enough energy to power homes for a considerable amount of time.
Among the most notable of these enthusiasts was Karl Gesslein, a veteran, battery enthusiast and small homeowner. Following the launch of the all-electric pickup, Gesslein wrote an extensive post on his personal website outlining his plans to use the Cybertruck battery to power his little house.
Gesslein and his wife are former veterans and have been living in a normal home for years. Thanks to this experience, the small homeowner notes that he and his wife could probably run their home on a 13.5 kWh Powerwall 2 battery for a month. without any sun if they are actively saving power.
With this in mind, Gesslein estimated that a Tesla Cybertruck, which would probably be a battery pack of about 100 kWh or maybe even larger, could potentially drive a small house for hundreds of days. Connect it to the Cybertruck’s solar power cover, and the vehicle can even recharge its batteries by being exposed to the sun.
The Tesla Cybertruck is designed to be a vehicle that can take serious work. It is also a pickup designed to weather the elements. This effectively makes the Cybertruck perfect for off-network use. Once the Cybertruck is fully launched, it will not be much of a surprise if a large number of pickups are eventually used to tow five-wheeled RVs, or even as power sources for small homes.
