Sleeping in your Model 3

[Russinating]

I've seen a few photos of mattresses in the back of the M3 including the hugely overpriced Dreamcase. I'm thinking about making my own out of some custom-sized memory foam etc ready for a road trip but the problem with all these use cases and photos are the cars are always in the butt **** of nowhere. Lovely.

But what if you're not? The whole car's made of glass and I don't really want some weirdo watching me sleep. Has anyone seen or used a removable blind for the roof and curtains for the sides/behind head at all?

I’ve gotten used to everyone watching me sleep while the car drives me to work.

Sunshades for Tesla Model 3

Im sure I have seen people use reflective panels that are shaped for each window. Acts to keep heat inside/cold out too. I'm sure it was a Bjorn youtube vid.

Travelodge.co.uk??!! Lol Sorry couldn’t resist.

I’m genuinely curious as to the use case here, what circumstances would you fancy sleeping in your M3? (Not mick taking now genuinely interested as I’m not sure I fancy it!!)

If it's that or sleeping in a poxy tent then I know which I would choose

 

[beansnchips]

I've got a 5yo. For us it would just be a mini adventure - just without the tent.
We've got a friend on the continent who we might visit (without SWMBO and 2yo) and we would be tempted to just kip in the car overnight somewhere en-route.

Wahey, someone on the same wave length.
I ordered a custom fit foam mattress, and I created my own window shades using insulating material and Velcro strips.
I was shocked by the price of the dreamcase, and I was shocked at the price of ready made window shades. Worth noting my window shades have one purpose and that’s to let no light in whilst sleeping. They would be no good to help passengers in the back etc

Feel free to DM me if you’ve got questions About the shades or mattress. Happy to reply here too

Where did you buy them all from?

Where did you get the mattress from and roughly how much if you don't mind me asking? I was tempted to just do a blow up mattress so that it saved more space when not in use. Not got my M3 yet so cant try it out yet.

TesMat privacy screen works pretty good, having to use a credit card to ‘tuck it in‘ is a bit annoying. The material seems the same as a light weight tent.

So far haven’t used it for camping, but changing out of cycling cloths in public parking lots it has been great.

Wouldn't mind paying £30 for something like that if it was from the uk

That's more like it, thanks. The $299 for the reflectors is a bit more difficult to justify.

Looks like shipping is $25 with FedEx for 1-4 of them. 5-10 jumps to $72. Anybody want to come in on an order with me? Shouldn't be more than a few £ to re-post in the UK via RM.

~£44 for the Tesmat, £5 for the US shipping if there's 4 of us.

This looks useful if you're sleeping in the car but for changing cycling clothes I use the good old beach changing robe stood outside. Fast and cheap as chips!

Yeah, that is the tried and true way to go.

Putting up the privacy shade is nice though, both my wife and I can take our time getting ready.

How did I not see this... haha. That doesn’t look bad, but roof is missing and it doesn’t look anywhere near blackout. So maybe not quite complete, but a nice little product

I made them myself from this.
