camp mode

I'm trying out camp mode in my 2018 model 3, to, well, camp. I've encountered a few behaviors that I didn't expect based on what I've read about it. For one thing, the rear USB ports aren't getting any power, which is surprising since everything I've read about camp mode specifically mentions...

Recently, some people have been curious about why I choose to go camping with a Tesla and my ACtent. I'd like to take a moment to share my perspective and hopefully shed some light on my decision. I am a proud Tesla owner and an avid camper. So, why not combine the two? Here are a few reasons...

I drove 2,610 miles round trip from my home in Dallas, TX to the San Juan National Forest earlier this month. I spent roughly a week using Camp Mode at Cayton Campground along the San Juan Skyway loop. Of all the many outdoor activities you can do, one thing must be at the top of your list --...

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...

OK... so I'm a regular guy who wants to both have the six-seater Model X as well as have options to camp. I ended up with the 6-seater after an early-delivery option forced me to upgrade. I upgraded which made me think the camping option was out... but it wasn't. In fact, it's better! I have a...

Hello, brand new MY owner checking in with my first post-ownership post! Super thrilled to finally join the club. My significant other is super excited about the camping feature after I showed her on Youtube. In fact, she pretty much wants to do it right away, if only for a night. We are...

So I had a chance to go camping solo for a night on a fishing excursion. I had everything in order, got in the front, hit camp mode, exited to hop in the back, got situated...and all the cabin lights were on. Ohhhkay. Now I’m in the back and can’t turn the lights off without being a...

Hello Community! We've been camping a little more often now, and I want to try sleeping in the Model 3 using Camp Mode. However I need to use a CPAP machine when I sleep and wanted to use 12v Power Socket with the ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP 65W DC Converter. By the looks of the specs and...

Hi - Has anyone purchased a Dreamcase mattress setup for a Model Y yet? I've seen reviews on YouTube for the Dreamcase used on a Model 3 but none yet for the MY. It looks like it's now available on the website for MY but has pictures of it inside an M3 only. Looking at the description/specs...

I just wanted to briefly share a couple experiences I've had camping in my 2015 Tesla Model S 85D. Back in February 2020 I went out into the mountains with my 5 year old daughter to test it out on the coldest night in the 10 day forecast. We drove until the road hadn't had the snow plowed off...

I really like the sleeping rig I ended up with for my ModelS 90D: Two folding tables to deal with headrest area (required a bit of modification to get exact height - four cuts and two holes per table). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HW2PMQL These are super compact when folded... I bungee...

First Sleep! Camp Mode arrived just as we got back home. note: Don’t lock door from screen then open back door. You will wake all campers still sleeping
