I just did my first car camping at Falls Lake. I’m thinking about fall and all the nuts/acorns falling onto the roof and sounding like a bomb going off. Do you know if the tent you have will fit over the Tesla?? I have Model 3.
This is absolutely the most helpful video on Tesla camping I have found. I’ve watched a ton looking for adapter specifics and adjusting charging. THANK YOU!!
Glad it was helpful!
After ordering my Model 3 performance I have been watching a bunch of your videos and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for watching!
This is really cool. Never thought about camping like this in an EV. Makes me want one more than before. I'm still waiting to see what the electric trucks that are coming will look like though.
This was insanely helpful! Thanks! Just got a Model Y and your video eased a lot of my anxieties and curiosities about camping in the Y.
Awesome video. I searched a lot a month back to get details on camping 101 with my tesla. Found none. You covered everything. Thanks for posing the video.
Glad it was helpful!
I really like that you took tome to explain the different connectors. Very cool, most people don't know there are different ones. Excellent.
I sleep in my m3 while charging at the slow level 2 charger from le circuit electrique, here in eastern quebec canada , it takes 7 hours to fully charge but since im sleeping I dont care. Camping mode rocks!!!
How much kWh does camping mode use up per hour?
@@FastRedPonyCar about 1kw per hour
Enjoyed meeting you at Jordan Lake while you were filming content for this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Tesla - I am now a fan of the car and you channel!
I’m actually going back out there sometime this week to get footage for another video. it’s a great campground, and it was great to meet you, too.
If I’m not mistaken, you must lock the vehicle from the screen if you’re inside. Otherwise your phone Bluetooth automatically unlocks when someone pulls on a door handle.
Yes, you are mistaken. You can lock it from your phone.
@@Michelle-bn1fu I just checked and no, I’m correct. If you lock the vehicle from your phone, the doors automatically unlock when pulling from the outside or inside. When you lock from the screen, pulling on the door handles doesn’t unlock the car. The problem is the car has no way of knowing that the phone is inside the car with your or outside of the car acting as the key for keyless entry. However if you lock the car from the car screen, it knows to ignore your phone because short of crawling out of the windows there no way to get out.
You may want to also consider an RV surge protector. Campgrounds sometimes do no wire their pedestals correctly and these surge protectors often analyze the circuit before you plug your car/camper inti the power pedestal.
The Tesla Mobile Connector already handles that, thankfully. It tests the circuit as soon as it’s plugged in, including voltage, amperage, and quality of ground. It won’t light green unless it’s clean power, and only then will it send power to the Tesla. As you can imagine, there are many sources of power that could be wired incorrectly with no way to know until you plug it, but that’s why the Mobile Connectors cost $300 (though one is included with each new Tesla).
The trunk may idea is SO CLEVER! 😮
It really depends on how you camp. If you go to campgrounds that have electric hookups you're probably golden in an EV - if you go on public lands, far out someplace or primitive campgrounds up in the mountains or the desert you better make sure that AC or heater leaves you enough juice to make it out again. Personally I prefer my propane ducted heater in my little trailer and a couple jerry cans for extra range should I need it - but then, luckily not too many people venture as far out as I do.
I camped a whole weekend without hookups with lows in the mid-30s. You do need to plan for the range loss if you want to heat the car to something like 68 degrees, but many people just set the heat to something like 50 degrees to take the edge off and use warmer blankets. AC isn’t nearly as bad for range loss as heat, even when it’s super hot outside and you like to sleep cool.
I did use a solar generator for power for the rest of my stuff and made a video about it here: ruclips.net/video/gtJJDowPkTc/видео.html
wow my wife and I tested this and it works on our end too. Glad to know that we are not the only RUclips channel that presents this explanation. Cheer !
I knew about the tt-30p adapters but didn't know I needed an EV/tesla specific one. Glad I saw this video before I ordered one.
Thank you so much for leaving links and descriptions for all the variety camping in Tesla has :)
FYI, The rear seats in a Model 3 will fold flat, but you have to remove the bottom half of the seat, which has two release clips at the front to make it super easy to do.
Outstanding video! I ordered the TT-30 adapter...going camping this weekend!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Great video, lots of good tips on how to camp in a car particularly a Tesla.
Some very good product options for people also. I particularly liked the privacy shade.
If you're not quite ready to jump into a full electric yet. You can easily do the same type of camping in a Toyota Prius, even a regular Prius is large enough to lay down in with the seats laid flat. Move the front seats all the way forward, remove the headrests. Lay the back seats down flat, then recline the front seats all the way back and they end up meeting each other giving you a flat area from about middle of the armrest all the way to the end of the trunk.
a Prius v which they unfortunately no longer make is even larger and more of a station wagon shape giving more interior space to sit up in.
A Prius maybe the better choice, Particularly if you're going to be camping and extremely remote areas with no access to power. having the gasoline engine as your source of heating and cooling.
I have done quite a bit of car camping in my 2008 Prius, worst case scenario on consumption is about 3 gal consumed every 12 hours. That would get you 4 days continuous out of the 12-gallon tank.
The engine does not stay running in a Prius only enough to keep the battery charged for running the air conditioning, and also runs enough to keep the coolant warm enough for cabin heat if that's what's required.
So the engine will start and stop to maintain the battery at whatever charge is required.
The starting and stopping can be slightly annoying, although in the newer Priuses the engine starting is a much smoother event. My car is pretty worn out at 335,000 miles.
You can make window coverings out of reflective insulating material You can buy this in a roll at most home improvement stores. Cut it out to the shape of the window frame and it will stick in there completely blocking the light, reflecting sunlight during the daytime, and acting as an insulator for cold during the evening, a roll cost about $25 and you could probably do three cars with that amount.
Just wanted to pass on some of tips that I found while car camping extensively last year.
I took a 4,500 mile road trip, camping at rest areas and parks and on the beach across about two weeks. The trip cost me a total of $315.
I would never recommend sleeping in a passenger vehicle with the ICE running. The vast majority of the time, you will be fine, but even a small exhaust leak... something easily caused by driving on unimproved roads you might use to access some campsites... can kill you in your sleep. Three of my friends died that way in high school from an exhaust leak filling the car with CO. The car had just passed inspection, and they were parked outside.
@@TheTechofTech
if you have the HVAC turned on blowing in fresh air from the outside you would never have a high enough concentration in the car.
Also the Prius does not run continuously.
In the summertime running the air conditioning the engine runs for about 45 seconds it's then off for 5 minutes, runs for 45 seconds off for 5 minutes.
In the winter time when you're getting heat from the engine it's a little bit longer. Engine runs for about 2 minutes shuts off for 5 minutes.
If you were really concerned about it you could always bring a carbon monoxide detector with you and put it in the car.
What do you think happens in 18 wheelers? Guys sleep in those trucks every single day with the engines running. The risk you're talking about is basically non-existent with a modern fuel injected vehicle.
You realize you're sleeping in your Tesla on top of a lithium pile? I mean you could theoretically have a short circuit and that battery pack could go up. There's risk there too.
Gas cars are 11x as likely to burn as any Tesla, and Model 3s (and now Ys) are the safest among them. Only one.. *one* Model 3 in existence has ever burned from thermal runaway, and it required impact at 60mph with a steel wrecker to do it. The fire only happened long after the passengers were already out of the vehicle.
Diesel engines produce much, much less CO than gasoline engines. In fact, it is very difficult to find any reports of CO poisoning from diesel fumes because the smell of the fumes themselves are too difficult to tolerate long enough for a lethal exposure to the CO it contains.
@@TheTechofTech
The odds of a fire in either car are essentially zero in reality.
If you take the total number of vehicles on the road in the United States divided by the number of vehicle fires it comes out to. 0.06%
I totally concur with you about the odds of your Tesla catching fire , I was trying to be a bit facetious in the the odds of something bad happened to anyone sleeping in any car is essentially zero.
And I don't know about you but what I've been near a gasoline-powered car, you can definitely smell the exhaust. You certainly can on my Prius, it's one of the things that's slightly annoying about it is it because the engine only runs 45 seconds out of every 5 minutes the engine cools off a bit. And it runs a bit rich. You can definitely smell it if you're standing right next to the back of the car.
My point was that if you're running the HVAC on full blast on fresh air the odds of having any concentration of carbon monoxide in the vehicle is extraordinarily low. Blend that with the fact that is only running 25% of the time. I don't think you could ever build up enough concentration of carbon monoxide for it to be dangerous. And as I mentioned you always could bring a carbon monoxide detector with you and just stick it in the car with you.
I slept in my car 3 days a week for over a year. Working in the different city, where hotels were $400 a night. The car gave me my own personal little pod hotel and quite frankly was more comfortable than most hotel beds.
Plus the road trips, and roadside camping.
my whole point was that you can do what you do in your Tesla easily enough in alternative vehicles like a Prius.
And people do, the advantage of the Prius is you can find one for a very low amount of money relative to a Tesla. I bought my 2008 Prius for $1,800, and have put 135,000 miles on it in two years.
My total cost per mile driving the Prius is $0.07. That's fuel all maintenance and tires. When you factor in the difference in purchase price, if you're worried about your wallet the Prius is a better choice if you can find a good price on one and you know how to check out a used car and you know how to work on an older used car.
Don't get me wrong I love Tesla's and electric vehicles, and they are definitely on my list for future vehicles. But for people that can't afford a car like that a nice quality used Prius is your next best choice if you're worried about saving money and having a practical car at the same time.
keep up the great videos I very much enjoyed all your tips about camping.
Of course you can do it the old fashioned way, especially if you want to save range. I had an old Datsun 510 station wagon. I inserted an old twin sized mattress and I used my goose down -10 degree mummy bag. It worked even in the dead of winter for camping. But that cold of temperature would be really bad for the battery. You will probably have to keep the battery heated instead of your cabin.
Looks like a great time! Man, I wish Tesla would bring back the metallic silver color. Looks classy and sharp on the Model 3. Thanks for sharing the video with us!
Got my TT30 connector because of your recommendation. This will help a lot for car camping thanks!
Glad I could help!
Great video! Thanks for all the tips!
Luv this car paint color.
I've been to Jordan Lake! Took a little hike around one of the trails while I was passing through on a road trip. Thanks for the video, TONS of helpful tips! Subscribed!
Nice video...Especially the smiling positive face while talking fill positivity inside me 👌🙏🏻
Thank you!
Amazing tips, never even thought of an adapter for the RV plugs or the USB led lights
Glad I could help!
While you camped in a formal camping site, I would be interested in knowing possible locations to park an EV to stay in overnight, especially on a long road trip. Have you had experience in parking your car near a Tesla Supercharging site or a Truck Stop, etc?
Really looking into getting a Model Y and just living in it for a while. Just go anywhere and live a little
Good idea to set favorite profile to camping seat profile!!!
Ordered my M3P last night and the accessory videos are great, thank you!
Fantastic!
In a Prius you can run the AC and the ICE on cycles every 30 minutes or so. Unlimited AC.
I’m in the area as well and plan to do the same in my model Y Performance
Thank You for All that you are doing for World Peace and for our Planet...
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. La Paz.. Namaste ..
🙏🏻 😊 🌈 ✌ ☮️ ❤️ 💐 🕊
Even without owning a Tesla, but only an electric Nissan, your videos are so cool and interesting ! There's just some differences with your units and standards compared to mine in France xD
Glad you enjoy them!
Excellent tips. MY arrives in Feb, can’t wait
Great vid. I camp with my Model Y at Hanging Rock state park, NC. Love it! No electric sites, but chargers close by so you can top off before you get there. I also bought some leveling blocks. Best car camping I've ever had.
Awesome!
Great tips for camping in my Tesla 🌳!
Thank you 🌎
Great Informative Tesla camping video!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent job making this video! Bravo sir. Bravo!
Great video. Enjoy camping, this Tesla camping looks an easy way to get out there.
Check with your campsite to see if they allow EV charging. KOAs do not allows car charging at individual camp sites, only at designated chargers. They can kick you out without a refund if they catch you charging.
how did I not know you started a second channel...thanks youtube algorithm. glad I found you.
I should make a video about it. I do post about this channel on my Facebook and Instagram pages, but those are all throttled, anyway.
Model x would really do the trick. They are HUGE inside.
I just found your video and now I’m so excited to try this. I ordered the adapter. Quick question: have any campgrounds had a problem with you camping in your car at RV sites? I feel like they a Shouldn’t but I would hate to show up at one I had reserved and they tell me that I can’t. Again thank you for your video!
I live in Apex, NC! Cool to see the familiar places and to know you are nearby. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool!
Greetings from Cary :)
This is a very good video! I want to go camping again!
Looks like OEM Tesla-gen2 chargers are now available with TT30p connections (from AC Works, EVSE, etc.).
Within 2 minutes of watching this video I booked a camp area 💀 went to south mountain state park!
Can't wait 4 the Cyber Truck!
I wish I had watched this before I went on my camping trip this past weekend. We had no intention of staying in the car, but we ended up wanting to lean that way because it was very windy, rainy, and cold out. I have the adapter kit from Tesla assuming it would have anything I possibly needed, but turns out, the TT-30P exists and my campsite had only that plug and the standard household outlet, so I ended up having to use that, and with the heat on, we were still losing range.
Yep. The TT-30P would’ve stayed ahead of your range loss, for sure. Hopefully, you’ll get out again, though.
@@TheTechofTech The link for the 30A adapter is unavailable. Have another recommendation? Thanks!
FYI, you can get a Gen 1 Mobile connector that supports 40A @ 240V and charge your Model 3 at around 35 miles per hour.
Awesome video thank you
Really enjoy your video content!! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Also, leaving the climate on keep allows for sentry mode to be enabled whereas camp mode does not.
Love sleeping in my model Y.
This was great! We were actually at Jordan Lake last Saturday Night (super muggy, and tons of Mosquitoes). We just bought a small popup trailer we are trying out, we are thinking about getting a Model Y to tow it :)
That’s awesome! I was at F33, which is definitely one of the coolest RV sites. Which site did you have?
@@TheTechofTech We were at G041, I think all the good sites were taken. We reserved it that afternoon. Had a good time overall though.
Great info thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your videos. You mentioned is quiete however I read many reviews on the Model Y' that the heat pump is extremely noisy.
This is a 2018 Model 3 with no heat pump. I have no experience with how loud the Model Y heat pump might be while trying to sleep.
The heat pump was really noisy on older Tesla vehicles, all of the new ones have been addressed and are no longer noisy
Camping in Baja with the Cybertruck #goals
Same!
Great content! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Just picked up a 4Runner to get out more myself. Long time Twang & Bang subscriber and Maligator owner. Maybe I'll get a Tesla someday 🤷♂️
4Runners are great overlanders with a lot of fantastic options for truck tenting. You can’t safely run HVAC all night like you can with an EV, but you can certainly take it places I’d never try with a sedan of any kind.
My thought exactly: I've been camping in my hybrid SUV for years. A warm sleeping bag on cold nights and a USB rechargeable fan on warm nights is all the HVAC I require.
Cool video i personally like 12v mini fringes but honestly this is a good video
Coincidentally, I just got back from a camping trip testing out this fridge: amzn.to/3mqn8Hn It was fantastic, especially since I could plug it into 120V at the site. The insulated cover for it worked great, too: amzn.to/35Di5xo
Great video! What are you favorite campgrounds in NC?
Great video. Very informative!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice tips!!
I've thought about doing this at an rv park while charging too
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve seen many Teslas in the charger area by the train tracks
very helpful and detailed
Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Thank you so much. If you have time, can you please comment the name and possible the link to all the adaptors that I should purchase in order to be able to plug in to any campsite/RV station? Just bought a Tesla and can’t wait to try this! Thanks again!
I mentioned them by name in the video, and links are in the video description as well as pinned in the comments. ;)
Are you a Goolger? I work at Mountain View Principal Engineer. You look familier.
Nope. I haven't even stepped foot in CA in 30 years. 🤷🏻
Thank you
... I crave now some cooked corn on the cob ^^;
Many thanks for video, saving for reference when I am (hopefully) in my own Tesla, without having to wait for Cybertruck DM!
It’s awesome done over fire, for sure.
@@TheTechofTech Some cracked salt and pepper... a small guilt free piece of paradise
Twang and Bang, you started a new channel?
Should have named it Twang'N'Tech.
Per RUclips's suggestion, the two channels needed to be as distinct as possible.
Just a note, dont park your tesla under the canapoy as a high wind can really scratch up your car!
You can buy TT30 aftermarket that fits mobile connector
Yes, but it is $85, and you’re depending on 3rd party electronics to protect your Tesla.
@@TheTechofTech I have used mine plenty, yes they are overpriced so if you don't use it often I get your point. I Have used it dozens of times so price per use is not bad.
I’m glad it’s working for you so far.
@@TheTechofTech Thanks, we have a silver 3 too and have been to 37 states and one Canadian province. Trying not to brag but have a little experience car camping in a 3.
That sound super fun! I spent 90 days driving from PA to AK and back way back in 1995, and loved the experience. Spent most nights in my tent, sometimes just pulled off a remote "highway" somewhere.
I know this video is a year old, but they make the 10-30 adapter for the mobile charger. I have the 14-50 and 10-30 adapters direct from Tesla.
10-30 is not TT-30P. Tesla still does not offer a TT-30P adapter. I just checked.
@@TheTechofTech well that’s not good. I was planning to hit the road with my daughter in the next 3 weeks. Glad I know that now. I’ll order a Tesla approved adapter on Amazon. Thanks for the input.
Okay, that is epic.
I hope to be back at it by the end of the month.
The campground I was at last summer and returning to this summer has the pedestal too far away to use the TT-30 adapter and tesla portable charge cord. I would need an extension cord. Suggestions?
Twang 'n Bang? That you?!
6 figure RV is for the restroom.
Heh, I live very close to Jordan Lake :)
How do you remove the shelf in 2021 model 3 long range
I still live with my parents and coronavirus has made me think long and hard about where I wanna live and buy a home at when I move out.
I've concluded rn buying a home is just not the right move for me rn. I plan to buy a model S and do some traveling while I have the ability to work remotely. Thanks for the video and the tips!
That’s a great idea. I can’t imagine a better time to be able to do something like that.
I can't find the privacy shade link? Great tips!
All the links are pinned in the comments, though you have to click the "Read More" to see most of them.
EZ-Up 10’x10’ Canopy: amzn.to/2T6JQr5
Just to be certain. I can just use my Tesla purchased nema 14-50 strait to any box that has the prongs the same?
Yes.
How do you turn off the big screen please
What is the size of the pop up tent? Is that a 10’ x 10’? Thanks! Great video!
Yes. Linked in the video description.
Which outlet would be more power, i.e., which type of connector would I mostly want to use if given the option? I am planning a camping trip this summer so the Tesla would be charged overnight so I suppose not a big deal... but the TT-30 adapter you linked on Amazon is no longer available.
NEMA 14-50 is 240V 50AMP, which will get you about 3x the charge rate of the TT-30P, which is 120V 30AMP.
Salute fellow 919er!
If you didnt like my idea of starting the Hotel Tesla trend together, say so, you didnt have to reupload. :) I feel personally attacked. But I will watch the whole video again... including the ads.
So funny! I do like the idea, but I didn't have time to go camping again to reshoot that. I'll get on that, redo the video again, and reupload soon! :)
Thanks for your support, TeeWin!
Love it
is there a reason on why you are using the TT30 adapter? Cant the 10-30 NEMA from Tesla work? Im wondering if I should order the 14-50 and 10-30, but now I cant find an answer on why TT30 is being used and if 10-30 is the same.
Because NEMA 10-30 is *definitely* not the same as TT30P.
TT30P and NEMA 520 Adapters
Wait until tesla release a tesla van. Def converting it into a rugged camping van.
A Tesla version of the VW Vanagon would be awesome.
Hello from Apex! lol I might have missed it but did you mention what you used to cover your windows?
I recently did a whole video on it: ruclips.net/video/HCq8kjtyZqg/видео.html
@@TheTechofTech Awesome! Thanks for the fast response!
Hi! May you list out all the adapters you have for the Tesla? Thank you!
They are pinned in the top comment.
@@TheTechofTech Thank you!
Pretty cool!
It's super fun, for sure!
It's dumb that you can't manually turn on sentry mode while camping. I'd want it on while sleeping.
Sentry mode by default is tied into the security system, which can be triggered by rocking the car. I think Camp Mode should allow a "sentry cameras only" mode for the security system, but who knows if we will ever see that.
