How many amps does the bed outlet output max?

40A, combined across all bed and cabin outlets.

technically 9.6kW continuous across all outlets, sure. But the LRA is 110 amps, so yeah. It does go higher. The whole point is that the amount of power is dangerous.

9.6 kW continuous max for the NEMA 14-50 at 40 amps. The 110v outlets are 20 amps.

Foundation Beast orders got a $4k credit. So that’s probably how.

Hello: Question Foundation owner early sequence number I don't think I received $4,000 credit for my power share. Was the on your purchase order or how did it come about? thanks

You should have received a comms from Qmerit to setup an installer and you follow that process. They dont give you the equipment or $4k credit - they set you up with a local installer to get a quote and if you accept to proceed then they show up with the equipment and install it for the agreed upon quote price. Think you had to have a delivery before May 4th, 24 to qualify...im like VIN 19,2XX if that helps, and you also have to have ordered a beast, not AWD.

Install a 100A transfer switch with a power Inlet Box and a 50A generator cord.
Use the 240v outlet on the back of the Cybertruck.

What do you use the other ON position for with the double throw safety switch?

Is it One side for the outlet, the other side for your charger?

Did you copy? I'd like to set this up at our cabin, but I have limited breaker space in the panel to add another 50a breaker. In this case would it be logical to use the same breaker to the 2 throw transfer switch? Put one side of the switch to my charger, and the other to the outlet? Switch one way, power goes The the charger, switch the other way , power goes from outlet to panel. The only issue I see here, is I wouldnt be able to lock out the breaker at the panel, so I would have to be very prudent to have mains off before using the generator input. I could lock the tranfer switch.for safety. Am I missing something?

Good morning, one is from the switch to the house and the other is from the power company to the house.

Ok, that makes sense. With that setup you would not need to turn off the main breaker for the house. Thank you for that insight

I haven’t yet. I added it to the cart but got caught up in installing a soft water system to the house

Not an electrical genius so forgive me if I’m wrong but can’t you just change a few breakers to tandem breakers to make room for your generator breaker and his transfer switch is in the second box he had if I’m correct.
. There are several videos on YouTube for this application to walk you through. But I think a tandem breaker is the way to go to add your generator breaker (not transfer switch) to make room in tour box. As I said I would get a second opinion because I am not a professional just a youtube cowboy ?
