Tesla has now officially released 2025.32.300, which adds a very big new feature to the Chinese Model Y owners: Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality. It is a highly anticipated update that will enable the Model Y to charge external devices, in fact, making the car a mobile power source.
The update also introduces the enhancement of an already existing functionality, like the user customization of the Rave Cave entertainment mode, Dog Mode temperature control, and Low Power Mode settings.
Increase the potential of Tesla
The update notes show that the first to be provided with this new capability is the Model Y L V2L enables the official Tesla Outlet Adapter to be used by the vehicle, which will be introduced later in China. After becoming equipped, the Model Y will be able to release power to the outside, which would allow users to plug in and power household electronics, tools, and even small appliances directly out of the battery of the vehicle.
It is this feature that draws Tesla nearer to its rivals, such as Hyundai, Kia, and BYD, which already have V2L capabilities on certain electric vehicles. This will add utility to Tesla owners, particularly during an off-grid or emergency situation. The feature will essentially turn the Model Y into a dependable mobile power bank and will be able to provide energy to conduct outdoor camping, a work site, or even a blackout.

Software-Driven Innovation
The new V2L functionality highlights the exceptional position of Tesla, as the company can give significant functional upgrades without requiring any physical modification. There is no need to change hardware or visit the service center by the owners. Rather, the update enables the feature of the supported models, awaiting the release of the official adapter.
This is a method that Tesla has been known to pursue for the expansion of vehicle capabilities beyond the point of sale. This has been the method of rolling out features like Autopilot additions, range optimization, and entertainment additions in the past. The 2025.32.300 update is an indication of how Tesla cars can become more functional and adaptable as time goes by purely through software innovation.
Other 2025.32.300 Update Improvements
In addition to V2L, the new update has several user-friendly and efficiency tweaks:
- Rave Cave Customization: The individual user settings can now be saved in the Rave Cave entertainment functionality of Tesla, as a part of the Toybox. Switching between the driver profiles automatically changes the settings of the Rave Cave configuration depending on the current user account.
- Dog Mode Temp: The lowest temperature in Dog Mode, a feature that ensures a healthy climate in the car when pets are kept in the car temporarily, can now be set to 18°C to allow more flexibility to the owners in hotter regions.
- Improved Low Power Mode: Tesla has introduced an advanced configuration of the Low Power Mode when the car is parked, with customizable values. This will make sure that unnecessary power consumption is automatically turned off when there is less than the user-specified levels in the battery, which will enhance energy consumption during parking time.
All these improvements underscore the constant work Tesla is undertaking to improve functionality and user experience by making changes step by step.
Looking Ahead
V2L is not merely a convenience effect but the long-term idea of Tesla to establish a connected energy ecosystem. The capability of cars to attract and provide power as Tesla Energy products, such as the Powerwall and Solar Roof, to proceed to be increasingly integrated with the company vehicles becomes more of a strategic move.
Although the Tesla Outlet Adapter needed to use V2L has not been introduced yet in China, its launch indicates that it may be introduced in other countries. The freedom of Tesla owners will allow the owners to use the full range of capabilities of the power output of the Model Y and open up new opportunities both in everyday use and in emergencies.
