Calling all Cybertruck drivers: A Utah man who owns five Teslas – yes, five – is offering $50 an hour just to use your truck, thanks to the built-in bidirectional charging capability.

His Model Y has been sitting at Tucson airport for two months, and now it’s nearly out of charge.

With only 14 miles of range left, he needs someone with a Cybertruck to come power it up.

Two hours of charging, $100 in your pocket – easy money, if you ask us.

The job only Cybertruck drivers can do

This wasn’t a call for roadside assistance – it was a very specific ask.

Richard isn’t just a Tesla fan – he’s got the full set. That’s the Model S, 3, X, Y, and the Cybertruck.

But when he left the Model Y at the airport for a family trip, it was the Cybertruck he needed most.

Unlike the rest of Tesla’s lineup, the Cybertruck has a trick up its sleeve: bidirectional charging. It doesn’t just take power – it gives it.

With 220-volt outlets in the bed and a next-gen charge port, the truck can deliver serious output – enough to run a house, power tools, or jumpstart another Tesla.

So he posted a callout on the Cybertruck Owners Club forum offering a $50/hour job. The task? Drive to Tucson airport and plug into his Model Y for two hours. That’s it.

The truck would deliver around 20kWh in that time, taking the Model Y from near-zero to roughly 30 percent – just enough to get moving again.

Despite the decent rate, most Cybertruck owners declined. Some lived too far away. Others just didn’t think it was worth the time.

But one selfless Samaritan named Jay stepped up. He offered to help – not for the money, but simply to support a fellow Tesla owner.

In a show of community spirit, Jay’s futuristic steel-clad truck played the hero role.

Cybertruck’s bidirectional charging might just start a trend

But this is more than a story of Tesla brotherhood – this situation could easily be a glimpse of what’s to come.

The Cybertruck’s bidirectional charging isn’t just cool – it opens the door to something new: mobile charging gigs.

Forget AAA and tow trucks. What if the solution to a stranded EV was another EV?

Today it’s one guy helping another out. Tomorrow it could be a peer-to-peer app for EV charging.

And as more Cybertrucks roll out with this feature baked in, it’s not hard to imagine a world where Tesla owners and Cybertruck drivers rely on each other when range anxiety hits.

For now, this was just a small job post in a forum.

But it might’ve been the first gig in the Cybertruck economy.
