What are you plugging in to your On-Board Power outlets in your Lightning?

Mini fridge in the front. Milwaukee charger under the back seat. Christmas lights in the bed.

Love the Christmas lights idea!

Wow, I've never seen a top load NES. Makes me miss my old one. I have no idea what happened to it. I bought the NES Classic for my nostalgia kick. Kiddo's love it. I need to figure out how to load more ROM's on it.

I plug my trailer in can boondock for a week no problem. 1 mile/KwH= Range 100 miles per charge between 20%-80%

I plug my house in if there is a power failure. 3 time so far in 16 months.

- my camper, even while traveling, but also for an overnight where there is NO electricity, nice...
- microwave, in the bed
- coffee maker, in the bed
- toaster, in the bed
- fan, or heater, when overnighting in the bed
- the house, when needed...

Be careful, that TV exceeds the GVWR of the Lightning.*


* I realize this post is two months old and I think the joke is worth it.

Fun fact - new flat screen TVs won’t work with the Duck Hunt game, thus the boat anchor you see here.

A few weeks ago, I loaded my espresso machine and grinder into the frunk of my 23 ER Lariat and served a bunch of drinks to the weary parents and coaches at a middle school robotics tournament. Pulls roughly 1400W, and running it throughout the day only cost me a few miles of range.

Small electric heater in my deer stand too keep me warm while I shoot down drones.

Weird, I charge drone batteries for the drones I send up to replace the ones that get shot down! (/s)

I am new to EVs and I am anxiously awaiting my Lariat ER build week of 01/09/23. The idea of having so many 120V outlets all over the truck and being able to plug practically anything in is kinda cool. I like to RC (Radio controlled vehicles) and my girlfriend and I like to go to different places with my DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine Camera Drone and take spectacular 4K aerial photos and video. I fly looking thru a small 6 inch controller screen. I fly kinda far away (even though you're not supposed to fly further than the line-of-sight but that's another thread). I always wondered how much more accurate I could fly up to and around objects while looking at a 32" 4K monitor while in flight. I could much more accurately navigate my UAV. I could also plug in and charge my other batteries instead of using the 12 volt outlet charger.

I also look forward to going camping... the possibilities will be countless!

I tried plugging in my 5 ton log splitter in one of the frunk recepticals but wouldn't handle the startup surge. Truck bed recepticals worked fine so I can split firewood where ever I can drive my lightning to. No more running drop cords anywhere.

I plugged in a light on an extension cord so I could see to make some electrical connections with the main breaker to the house turned off. I am adding a sub-panel in the garage for hard wiring my charger.

I've wired a generator receptical to my main service panel through 30 amp breaker so I can turn off my main and connect my lightnings 240 volt receptical to the generator receptical to power my home in an emergency.

This may be just the weirdest post, but I've had the truck 5 months and not a single device has been plugged into a single outlet. Never even tested them all.

Going on a year and the closest I've gotten is the wireless charger.

Well I'm up to about 18 months now, still nothing plugged in. Yeah - I never "needed" this truck. Nice to drive however, just wish the tech supported the truck better.

Microwave, coffee maker, toaster, phone and laptop chargers, wireless phone charger, electric Tools, a construction LIGHT, extension cords, fans, heaters, etc. Love it!
When we tow the camper, I have it plugged in, too. Nice to arrive with all the electrical amenities already powered, and even a/c, if really needed. The beach is hot!
