I make my Model Y a Home on Wheels

When I hear of stories of people choosing to "live" their life on the road in a vehicle, I do ponder the difference between someone living in their Tesla vs. someone living in their 2010 Pathfinder because they can't afford/live in [insert expensive city]. One person is struggling to survive and society frowns on their choices and life situation. The other person is looked at in awe or incredulity. Both are doing the same thing, but for drastically different reasons.

Part of it is the Tesla having Camp Mode as opposed to the Pathfinder’s Backpacking/Survivalist Modes. Not to make light of homelessness, of course. If you can afford a Tesla then living in it short term is clearly a choice/experiment and not a last resort.

Thanks for sharing and good luck on the trip!

If you get a chance, would love to see what your gear list / favorite items are.

I think you’ve just given me my first YouTube video topic!

My only question is why on earth would someone want to do this ? Surely this is not to relax.

To see the country! When I purchased the car I had no intention of doing this. Life circumstances changed and here I am. Frankly, what I’m doing is an inexpensive (albeit “not relaxing”) way to experience America as fully as possible.

Head north til you hit highway 17, east til you hit Charleston, and go immediately to Lewis bbq. Then go back for 2nds tomorrow; the Wednesday special is smoked prime rib it'll change your life.

+1 for Lewis BBQ. Their brisket is the truth!

I made an introductory Youtube Video (attached) I would love some feedback from you all, if possible. Thanks in advance! As for the thumbnail, yes, its designed to look like a 5 year old made it. I figured I had to have some fun with it - I think its hilarious
