All Teslas should have the inverter output, the S and the X and the 3 when it arrives.
Peeps! Add your own inverter for $50.
Using inverters in Tesla cars (Roadster and Model S) is somewhat problematic.
please elaborate
People might try to do all kinds of stupid things and there is no cure for stupidity.Using inverters in Tesla cars (Roadster and Model S) is somewhat problematic. Model X is probably the same.
With 90kWh of battery, people might try to use an inverter to make the car a backup power source for their house.
I'm pretty sure you can operate an inverter all day long from a Tesla S, running a few hundred Watts, continuously.
Actually, several days long... without being connected at the charge port.
Regardless of the dimension (capacity) of the 12V, it will be recharged as needed by the big pack.
I don't see the problem in that, or what would be problematic about it: the inverter would work, right?
Besides the number and location, I assumed that's why people wanted Tesla to handle the inverter instead of plugging their own into the 12V outlet. Clearly pulling directly from the HV battery provides more options that running everything through the 12V motorcycle battery, but also more complexity.Tesla could of course have created a separate 120V (230V in EU and other civilized parts of the world) AC inverter hooked to the big battery up to the tasks. But going through the 12V system becomes a bottle neck.
... If you're just going to charge a laptop or something then just use the 12V socket in the cabin.

Only if your time is worth nothing.LOL... can you image the supercharger abuse if you could plug your house into your car...
