Article: I went camping in the trunk of a $145,000 Tesla

This is definitely my plan in the close future. Already got a decent 2-3 inch thick memory foam mattress that I can cut into shape, and currently I'm looking for a piece of foam that evens out the bump. Any suggestions welcome, I'll try the local places first (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc), as I'm not keen on spending so much on shipping a piece of foam... We did 2 nights last summer on a regular mattress squeezed in, but the sides were curving up, so we didn't get much space left for 2 of us and the 2 (albeit small) dogs.. Plan is, once the weather is nice and the setup is solid, we will drive as far as up to Canada from the Bay Area and cruise around for a good couple weeks on free supercharging

I did this in November as an experiment and used a folded bedspread to help level out the trunk and put an air mattress over that, head forward and a bit diagonal for enough length. It works but with the low ceiling it is bit awkward to move around. My tent is more spacious and comfortable but if it was raining and I didn't want to set up and take down the tent in the rain I might just sleep in the car again.

If you want foam some places have a local foam and fabric speciality retailer. Otherwise you want a fabric store for that. Also boiling in Fahrenheit is well above 105. It's 210.

So you can't adjust the temp ? 105 seems awfully hot to me, that's over boiling, even in F

Maybe I missed the joke, but boiling is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Haha my bad. All I remember of that system is 80 degrees is nice.

Maybe President Trump will finally implement the Metric system and free America of .. oh never mind

I can't wait until we lose power again so I can sleep in my S with the A/C on
