12V supply on 2021 M3

[sjmather]

Now that the 12V "cigarette lighter" type socket has disappeared from the central console, is there any way to get a 12V supply to power accessories such as tyre pumps? Will the USB ports deliver 12V? Thanks

There’s a 12v socket inside the central storage area between the front seats. You need to search for it, but it’s there.

I have looked for it - a few times actually -but I think it was removed when Tesla re-designed the console in late 2020????

I have a 2021 with the new console (in the USA). It's definitely there and in the same location as the old one. See page 25 in European manual:

Yes! You are right....I was looking further down in the console. Many thanks for that.
