No answers, only question!
If I buy an inverter, can I use the power in my Model S to power my house at night?
If yes...how do you get the power from car through inverter, to house use?
Seems like a good wheeze!
Dc-Dc or DC to AC?You can use a 12V inverter connect to the battery post in the frunk. The DC-DC converter is rated 2.5kw. You can power the lights, TV, computers, maybe even the fridge, but not the AC etc. For latest models the battery post is directly connected to the 12 battery and connected to the DC-DC converter through a 250A fuse.
Tesla has a DC-DC converter converts 400V DC to 12V to charge the 12V battery and supply power for 12V system. You need to buy a 12V power inverter to convert 12V DC to 110V or 220 AC. Here is a good video:Dc-Dc or DC to AC?
Where do you connect to the house?
You can connect the AC output from the power inverter to one of your wall outlets in the garage to power your house. Make sure you disconnect the grid first.
Why would you want to power your house from your car battery?
Tesla knows you are sucking power out of your Model_ in your *own driveway*. This is not a good idea.

Because it could be a back up or act as a power wall when not in use.
Kind of shame you can't.
It is explicitly stated somewhere in Tesla docs to not do this.
Free power source, acting like a powerwall, as described above. I have a free charger, just a 14 min walk away. It would complement my solar panels, in winter and at night.
Using the 12V to power an inverter is only a good solution in an emergency. Trying to do this as a power wall or any other application is a very bad idea and hugely inefficient. There is no way to run an inverter off the pack for many reasons so don't go there. A MUCH better and safer option is to buy a Honda inverter generator and possibly a propane conversion kit or a Power Wall if you are looking for the power shift benefits. This is a dead horse that gets beaten to a pulp on every EV forum for years and ends up with the same result.
Powerwall cells are NMC whereas vehicle cells are NCA.Are you saying the cells are organized differently in a Powerwall battery?
