My goal is to avoid using sentry because of the power draw in having the computer running. It really adds up during the day. If I can tap the 12v and the onboard charger keeps it happy at sleep, then it’s a win win!

I opened the hood and found this cable in the hood. This is on the driver side of the hood. The yellow section of the cable runs into a circular hole. I wonder where that circular hole goes. There's no plug or anything cover the hole -- probably the size of a quarter or half-dollar.

Thank you -- great info here. Interesting to know that the car will top off the 12v running my load maybe every 10 hours. The 30w estimate was given as a constant load, but the fridge in my car doesnt run non-stop. So I'm imaging the average load being half that, maybe 15watts per hour. That all...

Thanks for all the information! Seems like there are a few options to get power into the cabin. I'm using a Icego 20L off amazon. I'll post some pictures. I had it in the trunk but the wife had problems with truck real estate being taken up... and I noticed the frunk gets insanely hot in the...

I love my car fridge & freezer for my Model Y. It uses about 30watts when running the compressor (not always on). Yet the car must be in camp mode or sentry-mode set to ON in order to keep the fridge going when I leave the car. I want to install an always-on 12v socket. This one includes an...

I tried it out, running TezLab, sentry off. As you’d expect, sockets all turned off. Bummer! Wish I could just keep the 12v hot. The power usage is pretty low too.

I have a fridge that pulls 30 watts in my MYLR. It’s pretty awesome, always have cool beverages or frozen storage. I understand camp mode, neutral, and sentry mode are all ways to keep the 12v cigarette lighters hot. Sentry mode seems like the most viable solution because it’s a passive setting...

Thank you! Cased closed!

Interesting - I found this YouTube and shows the 12v does hold 40A at 12V just fine. Interesting. (211) Hacking my Tesla Model S for an Emergency 12v Power Source - YouTube

Hi all, I've searched the forums and haven't been able to find any answer to how much power the DC/DC converter is able to supply the 12v in watts. I know the cigarette sockets in a M.Y. can run 15A at 12v -- but my main concern is the load being too much for the 12v and discharging it to a...
