12 Volts DC - Available in cabin?

[Kl777yl]

Does anyone know if 12 VDC is available in the cabin to power "legacy" 12V equipment such as radar detectors, etc? If so, where?

What power is available in the windshield camera pod?

There is no 12V power anywhere on the truck. It has a 48V system. There are 110 plugs in the cabin in the center console, under the rear infotainment system and in the ceiling for possible light bar installation. Whatever equipment you have will need a 110 plug. Another option would be to buy a 12V to 110 adapter.

There's USB-C ?‍

Aren’t radar detectors illegal? Why not at least pretend to be a good driver and use a different example.

You can get a dongle for a female cigarette lighter plug that is powered by USB-C.

Just get something like this... https://www.amazon.com/CERRXIAN-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0BGL8ZRCS

In fairness, radar detectors are legal in Utah. FWIW

They are legal here. I don't use one. That was just an example. I'm more interested in powering ham radio equipment.

Since the cybertruck has wire harness for trailers, there is certainly 12v available. I pick mine up next week and will investigate ways to tap this.

They are illegal in like two out of the 50 states so I would say they are not illegal

Good find. I had another one saved off too.

Interesting reasoning. I would think that if, in the vast majority of states (your numbers) something is illegal then the safe thing to say is that it is illegal with some special exclusions, and that you better not leave those jurisdictions with the device functional. Call me a Boy Scout (and I certainly follow the law in all cases, and expect others to do the same in a civil society), but I would rather someone use the short wave radio example and not tell me about their [mostly illegal] radar detector.

They are illegal in Virginia and I cannot remember the other state, but considering out of 50 only two means they are primarily legal devices, especially for those that never even go into those states at all
