The Tesla Model Y Performance has been launched in the United States, and as it turns out, it has a killer feature beyond its stellar speed and driving dynamics.
Apart from raw driving fun, the new Model Y Performance also has the capability to power appliances through its Vehicle to Load (V2L) and Vehicle to Home (V2H) bi-directional charging.
Only the second Tesla
V2L and V2H systems have long been requested by electric vehicle owners. Prior to the Model Y Performance, the feature has only been offered in the Tesla Cybertruck, one of the company’s most expensive vehicles. With customers ordering the new Model Y Performance at the end of the third quarter, however, some noticed that their vehicles were listed with V2L and V2H systems.
These features, or at least V2L specifically, was confirmed by the official Tesla account on social media platform X. In a response to a Tesla shareholder who highlighted the much-requested feature, the official Tesla X account noted that V2L is possible with a Tesla Outlet Adapter. “New Model Y Performance offers Vehicle to Load (120V 20A AC) with Tesla Outlet Adapter,” Tesla wrote in its post.
Affordable accessory
To be fair, Tesla’s official X account only referenced the new Model Y Performance’s V2L system. Details of the newly launched variant of the best-selling all-electric crossover’s V2H function are yet to be specified. However, it is difficult not to be excited about the new Model Y Performance’s V2L system, as the Tesla Power Adapter is available on the Tesla Shop for just $80.
The new Model Y Performance’s V2L and V2H systems bode well for the features’ rollout to Tesla’s other vehicles. If such a function has made it to the top-tier Model Y, after all, it might only be a matter of time before similar features are introduced to the company’s other vehicles, such as the Model 3 sedan and the Model S and X.
