Tesla didn’t miss the chance to treat the presentation with a hint of a joke. The clip also shows a hammer and a pair of balls thrown into the CyberVault in a two-way sequence. On the one hand, it is intended to demonstrate that the box is resistant to any attempt at vandalism; on the other hand, it is a direct reference to the failure of the stress test of the CyberTruck window when it was presented in 2019.
Just because the Tesla CyberVault has a CyberTruck-inspired design doesn’t mean it was meant to be an exclusive charger for this yet-to-be-released vehicle. On the contrary, it is compatible with any brand model sold in China. According to the company’s official store, the device weighs 13 kilograms and includes a 6-meter cable. Meanwhile, its charging power is 32A/7 kilowatts.
As we have already pointed out, Tesla CyberVault was launched exclusively in China. Its price ? 5500 yuan, or just over 730 euros. Additionally, users can purchase an optional accessory – a special 8-amp adapter – to turn it into a mobile charger for their electric vehicle. An additional accessory will cost 499 yuan (66 euros).
