I have a Tesla Y. It has almost a week of power sitting in it on full charge. There's no hookup. The only power outlet is usb-c pd.

Completely missed opportunity. I won't be buying an electric vehicle that doesn't allow powering my house, ever again.

Doesnt powershare just work via the charging cable? It is a advertised feature of the Y

Have an older Model Y too. It’s a real bummer that Tesla decided to give up being the bleeding edge tech company. No V2L/V2H, no Apple CarPlay, no longer range leaders in their category (though still cheapest per km range).

Don't give the USB consortium any ideas...

We have a 12v port that we can get ~200W out of, so that could power our internet.

But I agree, a real joke to have 150KwH (two EVs) in my garage and no way to even plug in a fridge.

V2H/V2L is a must have in my next EV.
