If you’re a proud owner of the Tesla Cybertruck, you already appreciate the fusion of futuristic design and cutting-edge technology that it embodies. But even the most advanced vehicle can benefit from a few thoughtful accessories, especially when it comes to the practicality of everyday use. Enter the Tesla Cybertruck J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder – a must-have accessory that seamlessly integrates into your Cybertruck to enhance your charging convenience.
What is the J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder?
The J1772 adapter is a crucial component for Tesla owners who want to charge their vehicles at public charging stations that use the J1772 connector, which is common across many non-Tesla electric vehicle charging points. While the adapter itself is indispensable, storing it conveniently can be a bit of a challenge. That’s where the official Tesla J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder comes in.
This holder is specifically designed to fit into the door pocket of the driver’s side door of the Cybertruck. It provides a dedicated space for the adapter, ensuring it’s always within easy reach but never in the way. Say goodbye to the days of having your adapter rolling around in the center console or occupying one of your cupholders.
Why You Need the J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder
1. Convenient Access
When you need to charge your Cybertruck at a non-Tesla charging station, time is often of the essence. The door dock holder ensures that your J1772 adapter is always within arm’s reach, allowing for quick and easy access without having to rummage through your vehicle.
2. Organized Storage
Keeping your Cybertruck neat and tidy is a lot easier with the door dock holder. It eliminates the clutter that can accumulate in the center console or cupholders, providing a dedicated spot for your adapter. Having it’s own dedicated spot will help keep you organized.
3. Protection for Your Adapter
The J1772 adapter is a valuable piece of equipment. By storing it in the dedicated door dock holder, you protect it from potential damage that can occur when it’s loosely stored with other items. The holder ensures the adapter remains secure and intact, ready for use whenever you need it.
4. Enhanced Aesthetic
The door dock holder is designed to complement the interior of your Cybertruck. It fits perfectly into the door pocket, maintaining the vehicle’s streamlined look. This thoughtful integration ensures that functionality doesn’t come at the cost of aesthetics.
Cybertruck Door Dock Unboxing
This should be a fairly new product, yet like some of the other products I’ve ordered from Tesla, the packaging looks as though it’s been stored in a warehouse for over a decade. Perhaps it’s a more environmentally friendly packaging that tends to quickly fade.
I’m sure some 3D printed options will start popping up, but the Cybertruck J1772 adapter door dock from Tesla is made from what I believe is an injection molded ABS plastic.
Installation and Usage
Installing the J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder is a breeze. Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
1: Open Your Door: Open the driver’s side door of your Cybertruck and locate the door pocket where the holder will be installed.
2. Orientation: It did take me a bit to figure out exactly where and in which direction the holder was supposed to be installed. The picture on Tesla’s website didn’t give a great perspective.
This is the proper orientation for your J1772 adapter holder, the taller side with the Tesla logo should be facing towards you (and the inside of the Cybertruck cab.
For comparison, this is the incorrect orientation. This piece is angled and the shorter side should be facing the outside of the vehicle.
3. Insert the Holder: Slide the J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder into the door pocket. The design is tailored to fit snugly, ensuring it stays in place even during drives.
4. Store the Adapter: Place your J1772 adapter into the holder. The fit is secure, preventing the adapter from moving around or falling out.
Once installed, you’ll find that accessing your adapter is as simple as reaching to the side while seated in the driver’s seat. The ergonomic placement allows for effortless retrieval and storage.

The official Tesla Cybertruck J1772 Adapter Door Dock Holder is more than just an accessory – it’s a solution to a common problem faced by electric vehicle owners.
