Hi,

I have a 2020 long range x, had a question about the behavior of the 12v trunk port and it staying on longer than I expected. My prior understanding had been that it stays on while the car is on, then shuts off after a few minutes. Exceptions to this are camp mode, where the main battery will power it (as opposed to the 12v battery).

I have a dometic fridge and a jackery 500 portable battery that I purchased for a road trip, with the idea of the jackery powering the fridge overnight and with the car recharging the jackery during day driving. My setup Is the dometic fridge connecting to the jackery, which connects to the 12V trunk port.

Today I noticed that the next morning after recharging my Tesla that they jackery still read at 100% battery (ie, the car had kept the jackery recharged despite being off overnight and not in camp mode). How is this possible? Is there any way to figure out if my 12v battery is being used to recharge my hackers (ie, is Susceptible to dying if I didn’t turn my car on for a few days) or where it’s my main battery doing this?

thanks
