A Tesla Cybertruck owner discovered yet another hidden feature of the truck called Powershare that apparently allows you to charge other EVs.

As it turns out, Cybertruck can be used to charge other things, including other cars.

The owner found out after attempting to charge his other car, a Ford Mustang Mach-E, using his Cybertruck.

It worked.

How you can charge other EVs with the Powershare feature of the Cybertruck

It’s been over a year since the Cybertruck unveil, but still not a day goes by without a new Cybertruck-related revelation, Easter Egg or little-known feature.

In this case, the owner, Joe Fay, tried using his truck’s ‘Powershare’ feature to charge his Mustang Mach-E and he couldn’t believe his eyes when it actually worked.

Fay, who goes by jf.okay on TikTok, explained how simple the process was in a video.

“All I had to do was grab the charger from the Mustang and plug it into the back of the Cybertruck. Then you just get in and activate the outlets in the bed of the truck,” he said.

With EVs, you can sometimes teach an old dog new tricks

Most EVs, and certainly all modern Teslas, can be updated remotely via OTA (Over-The-Air) updates.

So when it comes to electric cars, they can be taught new tricks, even if they’re a bit ‘older’.

For example, Cybertruck is now compatible with Tesla’s FSD, Full Self-Driving.

A lot of Teslas are also now receiving updates to upgrade its self-parking system, Smart Summon.

In the past, it was called Summon, and it allowed you to park your car remotely using the app by moving it forwards or backwards.

Now, with the new upgrade, Teslas can technically park themselves, including when more difficult maneuvers are required.

Tesla calls it Actually Smart Summon, and yes, they call it that because of the acronym this name produces.

But jokes aside, and speaking of which some people do use this feature as a prank, it’s actually quite useful.
