Firstly, thanks for your awesome content! How has the RTT affected your range on P2? Do you remember average consumption by any change? How does it compare to the camper you built? Is there some reason you went with RTT instead of the camper? I am planning to go on a road trip with my P2, and I am still wondering if the RTT is a solution or if I should just sleep in the car. Additionally, I have been thinking about something like a teardrop camper, but due to the route, there might be 100-150km distances without a charger, and I don't know if the 2021 P2 can handle it. And about the RTT, are you using the factory roof rack or something else? I saw a Reddit post by RaphaTlr, which was a bit worried about the RTT damaging the car because the clamp style isn't "secure." Do you have any opinion about this?
I believe the consumption increased with 18% on the P2 for my RTT setup. The roof racks I used was the Polestar ones, bought from their web shop in the app. They to clamp around the doors and yes it is not 100% perfect. After I removed them and sold the tent, I had slept perhaps 3 weeks in the RTT and the “damages” I could see was: scuff marks from the rubber contacting on the paint and two small dents in the roof. One dent was from a rock bouncing hood-window-underside tent- roof of car. I’d at least recommend applying a clear vinyl wrap to protect the paint where the rack has contact with the car. Also, one time I had one of the four hooks on the rubber feet coming loose. I just moved it back and tightened. Never came loose again. But: I was also always careful to not place all my weight in the front or back of the RTT cause that would cause more stress on the roof rack. But it worked fine! Sound levels increased a lot. But was fine driving 130-140 kph.
About the teardrop camper: The reason we got a RTT and not just took the teardrop was only so we could drive faster. With the camper we’d be stuck with like 80-90 kph and we wanted to drive faster. Also cheaper on the ferry without the camper. But the camper would be more comfortable and a little easier with the kitchen area. Hard to remember the consumption with the camper but I should have a video on that. But I think it was +30%. And around 280-300-330 wh per /km. But 200km non stop with the teardrop camper was not a problem! Also: parking at the chargers with the teardrop hooked on the car is some times not possible, so I had to unhook and park it separately and then charge. (Inconvenient)

What rooftop tent are you using?
This is the Wild Land, Desert Cruiser. 140cm wide.
Bra video, men synd att du inte prata svenska!!
