Winter Camping in a Tesla Model Y

- I set out to the Sierra's to camp a night in the Tesla. Could I make it up to Tahoe without charging form the North Bay Area? How much battery does the car use heating in below freezing temperatures?

Love the new video man! These vlog style travel videos are fun. All considering 13% isnt too bad.
%13 battery it consumed for heating 23C inside when outside was around -6C on average.
Pretty impressive compared to other cars that don´t have CAMPING mode!!!
It’s really good! Equivalent of running a space heater for about 5 hours
very impressive! I'm planning to go winter camping to the Joshua Tree National Park this winter and this is extremely helpful. Thanks!
I am glad I could help ☺️ give yourself lots of room for charge, the car will pull a lot of power in the drive between the camping spot and charger
This was a great video, I stay in Massachusetts and it snows out here, maybe not like where you are from but we def get it up here and to see you drive and all of that is very confidence building for me, because we get snow and a lot of it as well, so its good to see someone with a tesla in the cold make a video. Most videos are in California or somewhere warm or not a place that doesn't gets a lot of snow. Great video and I will be doing the same thing with my Model Y. Again, Great video!!!!
Thank you so much! I am glad this video gave you some confidence!
Very cool setup, awesome video
Thanks for the video man! I picked up my mylr and live in Denver hoping to use it to camp at ski resorts night before that are a bit further out from Denver this looks like a great option
Love our M3LR. Best car we have ever owned bar none. The only ICE vehicle we will have moving forward is our truck for hauling stuff around but looking forward to what the future holds.
Great video! I bought a Model Y 2023 last week. I’m starting to share some Tesla videos as well 😊
en the fact that people are fear mongering about electric cars running out of juice in traffic jams, 13% is pretty good. 10kWh used also isn't that bad, specially if it comes from a home plug.
The heat pump is very efficient! You figure I had the heat blasting with a glass dome with sub freezing temperatures and no regard to energy use
Not too bad consumption, honestly. I probably would have kept interior around 55-62 and bundled up. Great vid tho!
It was kind of to prove a point but I agree!
You can buy a roll of reflective insulation.. its about 1/4 inch think. Cut it to shape for the windows. Will keep heat in and reflect the sun in the summer.
The roof in the Tesla is gonna be more difficult.. your losing a lot of heat or cold to that big open glass.
Interesting. Reflective insulation- I've never heard of it. Do you have a brand that you recommend or a link? I've never thought about cutting out insulation material for the Tesla
Cool vid
Thank you so much!
10:55 Dual motor???? Epic!
Nice video 👍 Did you use the screen for RUclips/other whilst camping?
You know I didn’t but I should to show the capabilities of the car! Thanks!!
Wow that is a high temp. I would have gone with 65 degrees. Maybe try that next time or something close and see the difference.
There is a weird effect when it’s so cold outside, 70 feels like less. Maybe it has to do with how quickly the heat dissipates through the cold glass. Kind of like how on a 100+ degree day, 70 degrees on AC doesn’t seem to be enough
@@Adventures_with_nick living in Phoenix that is why tinted windows is essential. 😀 however in the cold having a nice warm blanket will allow you to set it lower.
Thank you for the video, just what i was looking for! Can you sleep in the car without having camp mode on btw? Here in the uk, most the days are neither too cold or too hot.
You don’t need to turn on camp mode to sleep in the car! Just no AC/heat during the time
I have a question. Do you think you could take your model y up a ski slope if you wanted to?
Do u know if a rwd can make it to where u have been too?
What tires do you have that are so good in the snow?
How loud was the car outside, do you reckon it would disturbed other people if you were camping somewhere more public? :P
The sound of the hvac is nothing more than a soft whisper. Nobody would notice the noise, it is not erratic either it’s smooth and consistent
@@Adventures_with_nick interesting, I have a 2022 Y and it is loooud during defrost. I have yet to camp or indeed hang around outside while the heater is on... But will be giving it a go this weekend - temp will be 25f / -3c 😅
@@EVLitterPicker that is probably for when it initially starts up! When I got out of the car in the morning it was quiet!
Do you have a link to the shades that you used?
Just added it to the description! Subscribe if you haven’t, another camping video coming next!
This man looks like zelensky
Haven’t heard of that one before but I can see it!
Do you have Model y or model 3?
It’s a model Y! Pretty roomy back there
You think Model 3 could be Comfy as well. Such a tough decision between both cars
@@sergeynazaro1768 well the hatch back style on the model Y gives a lot more room, the model 3 for camping would have your legs in the trunk
Title of video literally says "Winter Camping in a Tesla Model Y"
Now, why would I sleep in my car? I’ve been driving cars for more than 40 years and I never needed to sleep in a car. I sleep in motels if needed.
It is fun and provides the opportunity to stay overnight in BLM areas
Ide rather sleep in my car than a motel, plus way cooler of an experience
How do you deal with pee problem at midnight or early morning in freezing winter at nowhere remote place?
@@jamesyao9199
For guys, use a pee jug.
The larger Gatorade bottles work best, they have a nice rubber seal on the cap so no leaks and a larger opening so its easier to use.
Yep., a little gross. But that is the solution.
In the morning just go dump out the bottle someplace appropriate. Its just pee.. it's not gonna hurt anything.
For the ladies, they make some devices that can help them out.
The alternative is getting out of the car.. losing all that heat, and disrupting your sleep.
@@jamesyao9199 go out with your shoes on and pee 😂
