Purported Tesla Employee Confirms No 240v Outlet

[Petertsai]

yep. GM has a charge port dongle but they also have a dedicated 30 amp 240v plug in the bed.

How much does it discharge battery or reduce range?

Work sites as well as emergency situations providing power to things that need Phase A & B.

Since running a clothes dryer or stove isn't really an emergency. I'm guessing you mean a welder? That could be helpful to maybe 5% of the current reservation holders.

Depending on your location far south or far north it could be a heat pump or A/C. Record temps this year and perhaps peoples situations, age, medical conditions could require tolable temps.
Also well pumps or other non-suburbia items. HTH

This Silverado YT one is good because he is talking to a Engineer on the team so any numbers are more factual. Tom also is known for power details.

Maybe. But I have a portable AC and there's plenty portable heat pumps that are 120.

In the cases that it makes the most sense, V2G is the solution. So argue for V2G over 240 inverter and plugs.

You know those bikes that you've seen people riding to power their TVs? I'm ordering two of those but in treadmill form to run my house. My plan is to back my CT onto them and put it in reverse. That should let me spin the treadmills at a steady 15mph to keep things up and running.

What kind of wheel chocks should I use for the fronts.... Can I run just the back tires? I'll figure it out. I don't think I need to run with 4 treadmills...

Elon Musk has already said the Cybertruck will be able to power a small house.

Is that not already cleared up long ago ?

Elon Musk says a lot of things.

For instance, FSD doesn't really work yet.

*sigh*

another “employee” spouting off BS again.

As much as you use?

 

[PilotPete]

Yes, and coffee mugs can be washed!

What? No way. Crazy talk....

But it ruins the flavor! Do you have any idea how long you have to drink crappy coffee before the mug becomes "properly seasoned"???

I am sure we will confirm the precence of 220V and AIR outlets soon. With all the sightings we have it is a mindblower we do not yet have any pictures of the inside back of the bed!

Everyone wanted the CT to fit in the garage. So unless you are intending to run your washer/dryer off the CT, what good does 240V do? Can't even get any power tools into the garage because it is filled up by the CT.

I’m going to consider a 5th engine and a 7th seat and will bring it up to the team.

 

[CYBRSMTH]

No 240V outlet would be a let down if true. I haven’t seen a compressor air port either.

These two features enable utility and other accessories to function. I find it hard to believe Tesla cut those too.

Yeah, losing those would suck. Can’t charge another vehicle, can’t fill a tire, etc.
