Tesla Confirms 2026 Model Y Performance Adds Vehicle-to-Load Support

The company's public reply limits the feature to a 120-volt outlet adapter rated at 2.4 kW, leaving higher-power and V2H claims to unverified customer messages.

Overview

  • Tesla acknowledged V2L on the refreshed Model Y Performance in a reply on X, specifying use with the Tesla Outlet Adapter via the Mobile Connector.
  • With the official adapter setup, output is capped at 120 volts and 20 amps to two outlets for a total of roughly 2.4 kilowatts.
  • The capability is not yet listed on Tesla’s website or initial launch materials, and the outlet adapter is sold separately for about $80.
  • Electrek reports customer communications claiming up to 11.5 kW export power and V2H via an OTA update expected in Q4 2025, which remains unconfirmed by Tesla’s product pages.
  • The Model Y Performance becomes Tesla’s second vehicle with official V2L after the Cybertruck, as prior Teslas had latent bidirectional hardware and unofficial methods that can risk warranty coverage.
