Spotted this in Fort Lauderdale, USA two weeks ago. Is this just some toy car? I presume the wheel boot is there as an anti-theft device.

As a follow-up to this comment, the problem was with the fuse. It must have blown when I immediately tried using the compressor the first time. I replaced the fuse and the device worked beautifully. Well worth not using a grungy air compressor at an ICE station.

I have this same air compressor. However, the plug does not stay in the socket. Did you experience this problem? I haven’t been able to use it. Any problem with the fuse? I have a 2020 M3 SR+. Thanks.

Additional info: I have a 2020 M3 SR+. I use the TESMAT privacy screen every night while camping. While most of the evenings were warm outside, that was not always the case. I did run the heat a couple of nights (when outside temps dropped to 50°F) and found that the drain rate was slightly...

Hello Everyone. I Tesla-camped Summer 2021 many nights across the NE USA. I also recently completed a 2-day visit to Key West, FL and stayed at a camp site (that didn’t allow Tesla charging 😠). My battery drain rate was mostly in the range of 25%-30% on all of my nights in 2021 and 2022 for...

I’ve been using the TESMAT over the past three months while I’ve been car camping throughout the NE USA this Summer. The TESMAT has been good but it is a bit thin. I am 5’7’’ and also a side sleeper. I have an M3, so a much thicker mattress will begin to present some problems. The TESMAT...

Thanks for confirming my thoughts after I posted this thread. I’ll stay where there are other “campers” and some commercial activity. I can sleep with earplugs and eye mask.

Thanks. I might stay nearby a Supercharger but again my concern is being the only one out there. The problem with a camp site is the check-in. I don’t want to have a schedule. I’m not going to know exactly how far I want to go each day until later in the day. Once I’m in VA, I may decide after...

Yeah. I looked into that but all of the states on the East Coast from FL to NJ don’t allow it, likely due to the heavy traffic on the route. They will allow you 2-3 hours of sleep, but not the entire night. I also don’t think I would feel comfortable staying all night at one.

I understand your comparison to restaurants although I think the equivalent would be me bringing a sleeping bag into the lobby and settling in for the evening. I wouldn’t stay at any property that would likely have lot security. I’ve stayed at mid-range hotels for many hundreds of nights and I...

Awesome! I’ve been searching TMC and YT for this and couldn’t find anything. He addresses many of my concerns. I hadn’t thought about the sunshield for the windshield but that’s a great idea. I have fairly dark tinting on the M3 and also don’t mind sleeping with an eye mask and ear plugs, so...

I understand but I had a weekend trip two weeks ago (flight and rental car) and noticed, while staying at a Marriott Courtyard, that there is no security patrol of the parking lot. I then realized that is the case at any mid-range Hyatt/Hilton/Marriott I’ve stayed for years. The worst they would...

Thanks. Mosquitos won’t be an issue as the windows will be closed in the M3. I’m not concerned about the battery usage as I figure I’m saving money by not staying in hotels every night. I also don’t need it really cold, so hopefully not using too much battery overnight.

I plan on driving to NYC from South Florida later this month. In addition, I plan on spending 6-7 days touring across Virgina. I plan on sleeping most nights in the M3. I have purchased the TESMAT along with the sheets and the privacy screen. I also have TravelJohn disposables (for overnight...
