I have a Tesla 3. There’s no good way to get a lot of power out of the car as an end user except via the wheels. You can get like ~1kW of 12VDC via the dc-to-dc computer/accessory system but even that is pushing it.

I am saddened by this. I’d like to be able to access the large amount of power in it in a pinch.

There is also no good way to charge it as an end user from a DC source like my large 48VDC solar battery system. I end up having to invert the DC to 220VAC which then charges it normally (involving rectifying it back to DC for the onboard batteries) - an unnecessary and inefficient double conversion.

there are several devices that allow for 4kw+ to be pulled out of the NACS port, it tricks the car into thinking its CCS charging. Google "tesla v2h" or "tesla discharge device"

There are also older devices (for Priuses) that just tap into the high-voltage terminals of the battery pack.
