Tesla is really going to provide the “external discharge” function that many Tesla owners in China have been asking for. According to reports,Tesla announced that it will push the latest 2025.32.300 software update to Model Y L, which will be pushed to car owners in batches.
The main upgrade content adds low power mode, external discharge function, etc. However, the external discharge function requires the use of an official adapter, but the official accessories have not been released yet, so you need to wait for a while.
It is understood that although Tesla is the originator of electric vehicles, it has always been conservative in terms of battery external discharge and the expansion of outdoor vehicle scenarios, and has not opened the V2L external discharge function to car owners.
For comparison, domestic electric vehicles on sale in China, even models such as BYD Seagull worth 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, also provide external discharge functions.
Previously, because they wanted to use the power of the vehicle battery, some Tesla owners purchased Tesla external discharge conversion plugs. Although it can indeed provide external discharge,However, its principle is to deceive the vehicle into discharging in charging mode, which will also cause the battery to start automatically and actively heating, etc. The loss of discharge is much greater than the power demand, and there are safety risks.
