It depend on the voltage level of the load that you connect to. On my 2024 Model 3 Highland I got 64.5W on each USB C port. But on the manual it is specified 65W per port x 2 max or 45W x3. Please note that it depend ALOT of the cable electrical resistance too. A poor quality low power cable can loose up to 40% power!
I searched “when have USB-C outlets of tesla y power”. AFAIK 12 V outlet has no power when the car is parked. I wanted to know, is USC-C PD also out? Can there be different models? I checked a Tesla Y at the Tesla dealer in Salzburg. No 12 V 3 A available at the front ports, only 9 V 3 A at both of them.
The voltage is a result of the both the power source and the device you are connecting. You need a device capable of USB Power Delivery at the 12V "PDO". Different devices support different PDO's, like 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 20V. And some devices skip a PDO. It all depends on the choices made by the product engineers. For example my MacBook charger skips 12V. My car does supply 12V, even when parked.
Any evidence various climate features, like seat heaters/ac/etc, impact these power levels at all? I imagine these are isolated to their own system, but ya never know what Tesla has implemented?
Great work
Solid video. Exactly what I was looking for

All the watts! Nice investigation 👏
Great analysis. Thank you!
Very informative experiments, Thanks!

Do you have any stats on the glovebox USB? or on the MY7 rear usb? Thx
Afraid not!

I wondered the same thing. I didn't see any variation, but I wasn't specifically looking for it.
