Tesla Motors Club
Hi All,
I've been working on building a small cabin on a piece of land I own and have been thinking about purchasing a Model X. The land is about 10 miles away from my house. and I usually lug a generator back and forth to power my tools, but it occurred to me: Couldn't I just use the Tesla battery pack and an inverter for power and leave the generator at home?
I'm not sure if the Tesla Battery pack is accessible (battery terminals or something), to be able to hook up an inverter and then would the Tesla freak out - I've heard they're smart
- if the battery pack is being drained without the car being on? What could I reasonably power with the car if I was able to hook up an inverter? I figure I could power a drill no-problem, but what about something like a table saw?
It would definitely save me from stupidly burning gas while my electric vehicle sits there with it's grid power untapped.
Any thoughts?
