Last Saturday I finally got to do a proper tailgate with my new Lightning, tacos on the tailgate. We had a crock pot with shredded chicken, an electric grill to warm tortillas, a blender for the margaritas and an air fryer for the taquitos. And last but not least a TV to watch football.
I did find that the air fryer and grill needed to be on separate breakers so the grill got plugged into a frunk outlet the rest were handled by the bed outlets. For a three hour tailgate I only used about 7% of the battery.

Very nice! I've been thinking of doing the same. Even thought of using a small freezer plugged in the bed to keep the ice and tequila cold. Looking for one that will fit under a bed cover though. Only 7% with 3 hours use is pretty decent.

Just fill the frunk with ice and assorted tiny umbrellas!
