Overview
Cargo Bed Outlets
Your Model SModel X has three AC power outlets located in the cargo bed.
To access the outlets:
1. Open the tailgate (see Cargo Bed on page 720).
2. Locate the outlet cover on the left side of the bed.
3. Pull the left side of the panel to open the cover.
The outlet cover must be open in order for the outlets to provide power.

1. 120V power outlets (20A maximum draw, combined)
2. 240V power outlet (40A maximum draw, combined)
The 120V power outlets provide a maximum of 20A across both cargo bed outlets. This is independent from the 120V outlets
in the cabin which also provide a maximum of 20A across both cabin outlets (see Interior Power Outlets on page 662). It is
possible to pull 20A from the cabin and 20A from the cargo bed at the same time. All AC power outlets combined (120V cabin,
120V cargo bed, and the 240V cargo bed outlet) are limited to a combined maximum of 40A. If multiple devices are plugged in
and drawing power at the same time, power to each device may be reduced or interrupted.
The outlets stop providing power when Model SModel X is no longer occupied (when you leave the vehicle and close the
doors).
To enable power to the outlets, touch Controls > Outlets & Mods on the touchscreen. From here you can toggle power to all
AC outlets and each power feed (see Connecting Accessories to the 48V Power Feeds on page 919). While the outlets are
supplying power, the touchscreen shows the amount of power being used.
You can also enable power to the outlets and power feeds using the mobile app.
NOTE: Leaving a device plugged in depletes the high voltage Battery. Even if nothing is plugged in, the outlets draw small
amounts of power from the Battery whenever they are enabled. When the charge level of the high voltage Battery is very low,
power to the outlets shuts off and a message is displayed on the touchscreen. Leaving a device plugged in does not deplete
the low voltage battery.
CAUTION: Do not use the AC outlets to power a device with a power rating that exceeds the limits listed above.

Troubleshooting AC Outlets
AC outlets may be disabled in the following scenarios:
• Very low ambient temperatures.
• When an AC charging cable is connected to Model SModel X even if the vehicle is not actively charging.
• The high voltage Battery does not have enough charge.
• GFCI or overcurrent detection has been tripped.
If one or more outlets unexpectedly stops providing power, first ensure that you have enabled power to the outlets (touch
Controls > Outlets & Mods) and that the high voltage Battery has enough remaining charge.
Each power outlet in Model SModel X is equipped with overcurrent detection and a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI),
which interrupts the power supply to an outlet if an issue is detected, such as a current leakage. In this case, the outlets will
turn off. Overcurrent detection may happen if multiple devices plugged in at once draw too much power from the AC power
outlets.
CAUTION: Use only "UL" Listed devices with the AC power outlets in Model SModel X.
CAUTION: Damage to a device or data loss (such as from a laptop or external drive) due to a sudden loss of power is not
covered by the warranty.
If an outlet is still not providing power, the GFCI or overcurrent detection may have been tripped. When an outlet is faulted, an
option to reset the outlets becomes available. To reset:
1. Disconnect all devices from all AC outlets (three outlets in the cargo bed and two in the center console).
2. Touch Controls > Outlets & Mods > Reset.
