I've got this model in my frunk, fits great. The larger sizes don't fit.

Sur-Ron electric dirt bike to charge while eating lunch from the mini crockpot filled with Thai curry my wife made. Last week I did a full work day from a hospital parking lot, (Dad getting chemo) conference calls, webinars, online trades using the AT&T hotspot with the temp set at 70 degrees.

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.

Same here - and four months. I bet most residential users will never use the outlets. Heck, in my Suburbans, I think I might have used the 120 volt outlet once to charge an iPad.

While I don’t have my truck yet (mid Feb hopefully) I plan on using it for tailgating. I have season tickets for the LA Galaxy so I plan on having some great pre-game parties. I’ll need to plug in the big screen tv, sound system, mini-frig, blender, electric grill and any other items we may require.
I am also a ham radio operator and will use the truck to power my radios when I’m on the road in remote areas. This truck offers so many opportunities you just need to be creative.

I am using the Bodega T50 frig in the back passenger side floor with the seat up, plugged into 110Vac so as not to run down the 12Vdc battery. I think the height is 18”, so it should fit anywhere, but frunk might heat up and defeat the idea of keeping things cool!

Sorry, no pic, must use imagination for now.
Did you try the Bodega 50L in the frunk, does it fit? I’m looking for a portable fridge that will fit in the frunk

Is there a matt screen protector on your screen? If so, do you recommend it?

My girlfriend an I had a nice picnic this past summer. We were in the shade under a tree but it was still, mighty hot. On our next picnic, I may plug in my air circulator. :D

Wife & I are currently on a trip from DFW to Sault St Marie & have a 110v MiniFridge plugged into 110V in the back seat area & small Microwave in the bed (it blew circuit breaker in the back seat (only 15A apparently). Cooking some meals/snacks during charging sessions. No issues with road charging so far & for the next three days relying on the Hampton Inn Level 2 chargers out front.

I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but I think all the 120 outlets are on the same 20A 2.4kW inverter. There are an additional two 3.6 kW inverters if you have the upgraded pro power. Do if you need to draw more than 20 combine A at 120 you’ll need to a L6-30 to 5-15/20 adapter/splitter.

I am wondering what to plug in at the next EV show. Thinking a microwave, with a corn popper inside, making popcorn?

Also a blender, just with water in it, maybe colored water. I'm not making drinks for the public.
