Where is the cigarette lighter in Tesla Model Y?
2 Answers
Taking the Tesla Model 3 as an example, the cigarette lighter is located in the front row center armrest. Open the armrest compartment to see it. Below is relevant information about the car cigarette lighter: Function of the cigarette lighter: The car cigarette lighter is similar to a multi-socket power source for household use. It connects to the car's power supply via a plug and then provides multiple cigarette lighter sockets. Besides lighting cigarettes, the car cigarette lighter can also charge mobile phones, MP3/MP4, and other digital products. Precautions for using the cigarette lighter: First, pay attention to the interface of the cigarette lighter. Some cigarette lighter sockets have USB outputs, some directly split into 2-3 cigarette lighter sockets, and some have household power sockets. Therefore, when choosing a cigarette lighter socket product, pay attention to the type of interface.
I've been driving the Model Y for almost two years. The cigarette lighter is located at the very back of the center console – just lift the bottom mat to see the 12V power outlet. But I should remind you, Tesla doesn't include the cigarette lighter adapter, you'll need to buy a converter plug separately to use it. There's also a power connection in the frunk's fuse box, but removing the panel is quite troublesome – you'd only need to access it when modifying the dashcam. Last time I went camping, I tried using the center console outlet for a car fridge and it worked fine all day. However, it automatically cuts power ten minutes after turning off the car. For long-term power supply, you'd need to get an external power cable kit.
