I was curious what level of output the USB-C ports in the truck could produce. My hope was 30w as this is enough to keep my MacBook Air fully juiced.
I plugged the laptop into each of the six ports and checked the Power settings in System Information, refreshing the page between port changes. Laptop battery charge level does not affect this readout. It will provide the max draw that has been negotiated between the truck and the device. I also had the truck unlocked and plugged in with a 35% state of charge.
The center console ports showed a 15w draw. The ports on the back of the headrests also showed 15w. The ports below the rear climate screen showed 8w.
It’s not a big deal, but it is a bit disappointing, especially the findings on the lower rear ports. Maybe this can be changed via software?
