Has anyone used an Inverter?

[Jrogville]

Does anyone have experience using an inverter to get AC power from their Tesla? If so, could you tell us about your experience, issues, equipment used?

recommended power inverter

Didn't seem to have a definitive answer but might point you in the right direction to help choose one...

I use an inverter plugged in to my 12V charger socket. It is just a cheap one I bought from an Auto Electrical store. I read that you shouldn't draw more than 100W as you can blow the fuse. I usually use it to charge my electric shaver.

Thanks for the link, PedanticOne. Should have searched, although I'm hoping someone can recommend a brand and model.

BenT, I'll check on the amperage I need. I looked in the Manual per the referenced thread and the 11 amps/150W continuous.

SCA 12V 150W Can Modified Sine Wave Inverter - Supercheap Auto

This is the one I bought in Australia. Yes it is 150W as mentioned above. Works fine. It is only active when the car is on as the 12V power is off when the car is off.
