48v to 12v converter question

[TeslaKen]

Using the 48v line in the frunk there are multiple aftermarket accessories that come with a 48v to 12v converter. Is it better to tap in multiple converters, say one for each mod, or is it better to run 1 converter and then tap in the 12v lines after the converter? I am curious which way people are going and what seems to work best.

Thanks in advance!

T-Sportline sells a 48v to 12v buck converter that has 4 outputs. It's not something I own, so I can't vouch for it, but it's sold specifically for the Cybertruck.

I can in fact vouch for it. It’s dead reliable and the bracket they give you with it is worth the price over the Amazon specials in my opinion. For me, it’s one of those no-brainer buy once cry once deals.

Depends on how many accessories you plug into the 12v converter. As long as you don't go over the rating of the converter and what the truck puts out you're fine with one (I also wouldn't stretch it to its max limits every time). I see each one of those converters as a failure point, so I prefer to have a decent quality one vs the ones provided with accessories that are usually low quality.

Hook it up to something like the sPOD or amazon special controller.

I use that to power my 12,000 lb 12v winch. Have pulled my CT out of many stuck situations.

What’s the sPOD?

I’m using this https://a.co/d/0gx2y39r to have 12vdc for my center console fridge.

I use a $15 golf cart transformer. Have big light bar under front bumper.

What’s the sPOD?

A power control module to toggle devices on/off via your phone's Bluetooth or wired Ethernet. Nilight has one as well as Trigger's 6 shooter

Got it. I use an auxbeam which is similar I think but hardwired.

Was the wiring route to the interior easy? And does the fridge power off when CT is turned off?

Easy? Super easy. There are posts on how to do it.
the fridge stays on as long as the Funk power feed is on.
