Have you slept in your car?.... be honest...

[JohnQ]

One night and I planned on it. Needed a charge in Ontario and it was the easiest place to sleep for 6 hours. Also planned to do so on the NY Thruway that same trip but decided to drive late into the evening when my energy usage was lower than expected.

Yes, to charge overnight at an RV park so I could do a little fishin' the next day before heading across the Sierra. Would do it again.

Slept in the Roadster for two days during a long range roads rally (E-Mazing race)...

I tend to doze off when I'm at the superchargers.

I found the carpeted floor was comfortable.

Done it a few times, but not as an alternative to going in a hotel. It was always on longer road trips where I just got to the point where I was too tired to drive safe and slept for a few hours. No need to waste time looking for hotels when I need just an extended nap. Once there was no Supercharger so I had to charge for several hours on a longer trip. So I planned it that way that I would plug in and sleep there for 4 hours.

I took a nice long hour and half nap between sessions at a driving event last fall - the Maryhill Loops tour with the local Audi club. Great thing was I could leave the A/C running the whole time. Quite comfy. Everyone walking by got a big kick out of seeing it, too.

I have slept in the car a few times while charging (Winthrop WA, Golden BC and Ellensburg WA) for no more than 2.5 hours. It was not overly comfortable, but I think that's because I'm a taller guy and had insufficient padding. The slope created by the second row seats is irritating. I would expect that with proper mattressing it would be OK.

 

[EarlyAdopter]

I just leaned the driver's seat all the way back. Comfortable enough for a nap.

Given the proclivities of some of the members of this august forum, myself included, coupled(*) with a surprising number of references to things computer-y, I can't resist:

I try to fall asleep everytime my husband drives, he scares the #$%%}},<%&@ out of me. I gotta close my eyes. Sometimes i wake up in a different state, even.

In the ROADSTER?!
You're a real trooper.
I have napped numerous times in the S. Very comfortable for short durations in the front seat reclined and also 'tilted' back (I've only recently found this adjustability after 2 years of ownership and used to just recline). Never had to spend overnight in my car, but then I don't have to cover long distances either being on an island.

I have a "nap" profile - always gets a laugh when I share that at cars'n'coffee.
thx for this thread, sleep mask in glove compartment is a great idea.

Will try to convince my gf that this is the ideal vacation destination...

edit: just realized that this story is what inspired this thread, still worth posting as I'd read this thread without realizing what the Tesla Hotel story was.

Either a trooper or just plain nutz...my wife hasn't decided yet ;-)

I prefer to think it was tenacity...I really wanted to win! :biggrin:

Seriously though, if you do find you have to sleep in the car in the car (upright in the seats), take one of those airplane "neck pillows" with you...they work very well in the car!

I slept in my MS with my wife and son in our driveway for three days while our floors were being refinished in the house. It was a little snug but comfy enough with the right mattress and padding.

Yipes , spring for a motel for at least the wife and child. 3 days? You have a patient, tolerant and understanding wife.
