Every new Tesla can now run tools and gadgets from its battery through Powershare, Tesla North America said on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, but only in the United States and Mexico. "Every new Tesla can now power your tools or gadgets via Powershare," the @tesla_na account posted on X. TeslaNorth reports that a follow-up post said the setup uses the Mobile Connector with an Outlet Adapter, and that Canada isn't included for now.
What we know
- What it does: Powershare is Tesla's name for using the car's battery to power outside loads, such as job-site tools or camping gear.
- Hardware: the Mobile Connector plus an Outlet Adapter, per Tesla's follow-up as reported by TeslaNorth.
- Where: the US and Mexico only. Tesla hasn't said whether or when Canada will get it.
- Earlier steps: TeslaNorth notes that Cybertruck has had Powershare longer, and that an $80 Outlet Adapter turned Model Y Premium into a portable power station for US buyers in August.
How it fits with home backup
This is separate from Powershare home backup with Powerwall 3, which reached new Model 3 and Model Y orders earlier in October. See who qualifies for Powershare home backup.
What we don't know yet
Tesla's posts didn't list a power rating or say whether cars delivered before the change qualify. Owners should check Tesla's Powershare support page and their car's Powershare menu before buying an adapter.
