Tesla Van Life - Camp Mode?

- This is the reason why I don't use the Tesla Camp Mode.
Teslas without ultrasonic (USS) sensors and relying solely on camera-based detection may require covering the internal camera when using this method. Though I haven't tried it myself, I have heard that even mosquitoes can trigger the alarm. Alternatively, you can use dog mode, as it now allows sentry mode to function alongside it.

As always, go out & stay adventurous! See u in the next vid.
Agreed, there has been times I have considered taking a month or two off from work and just driving around Europe living out of my car, but the fact that you cannot run Campmode along with Sentry is a dealbreaker for me. I want to stay at a comfortable 19c AND be kept watch over, is that too much to ask?
Glad to see it IS actually possible, but annoying how many steps it takes. Still, thanks for showing the world how to get the best of both worlds!
Is it actually that dangerous in Europe?
Why do you need sentry mode …. Wtf
@@MapleJokerRofl Because if someone comes up to my car while I'm inside sleeping and scare the shit out of me (or something worse) I want to be able to go to the local police and say "this is the guy", rather than "there was some guy"
@@ekrajb123 0,01% of that happening in EU if you are smart.
Its a Software based issue so it could be fixed in future updates rigt?
I've driven over 15,000 kilometers through Spain to Scandinavia. With a few exceptions, I've slept in the Tesla. Either at a campground or in the wilderness. I never used the Sentry Mode. Also, I always unlock the car using the app in the mornings without any problems
This is the most informative video on this topic in a crowded space. You’d be surprised how many competing “Tesla car camping” channels there are that don’t explain this clearly.
You’ve earned a new sub, like, and comment my friend. Keep it up.
I heard someone raised this to Tesla and that they will enable sentry while on camp mode. I’ll keep watching for it…. However, very valuable information. Thank you!
I hope they do that in the future! Thank you!
I think this is fixed already.
Thank you so much! I’m about to go camping for the weekend for the first time in the Tesla, this helps so much!!
I hope it helps! I'm not sure if this still works with the vision-only Teslas nowadays.
This was very helpful! I’ve had my Model y for 2 years and learned a lot in this video. I’ll be watching it a few times. Thank you!
Really enjoying your vids. Thanks for sharing your life.
Thank you Kevin!
You can turn off the screens right away if you open the driver door and close it again. The car thinks you exited the car and will turn off the screens.
I had no idea that sentry mode was disabled while using camp mode. Thanks for the information.
Awesome video as always! That trick reminded me of that Model X guy from LA who lived in his car, he would wrap the Tesla key fob in foil paper so nobody could open it lol
Thank you! I think I have seen that video, he could just use the phone key then.
Good idea! I’m camping for the first time this weekend & I was considering turning off camp mode when I want to use my cameras. I am sure I will want to see what is going on outside from time to time. Tesla needs to add an option to turn on & off Sentry mode while in Camp mode.
Great Idea! I love this channel, I always learn a cool new thing about my Tesla!!
Holy Moly!!! i was wondering about that! Thanx...this makes planning my camping road trip in CA much more safe and gives me peace of mind!!
Good for City camping. A problem conserving your range, but likely close to chargers. Country camping - stay safe, close to others camping
Great tip! Thank you! And thanks for explaining the nitty gritty Bluetooth details.
Wish i knew this hack when i was car camping in California last year!
California is such a wonderful place! I think this only works with the older Teslas with USS, not sure if it still works with the vision-only ones.
Camp Mode + 9mm = problem solved 😅
US only solution
@@sapkra Yeah but if you shoot someone, it’s good to have had the cams recording the intrusive incident so the authorities or anyone cannot sue or prosecute you for acting in a non self defensive scenario. The cams can back up your story so long as you’re justified.
I personally use a 10mm, and whomever is attacking me, show them one of the bullets about to be inside them. 😂
@@audio3980 real tough guy lol. Anyway I think the point of wanting sentry during camp mode is if you want to SLEEP with BOTH your eyes closed. You won’t put your bullet in anyone if you’re asleep and it’s their bullet going in you. The point is, Sentry mode to wake you, then comes your 10mm.
Btw I don’t think anyone wants to have a +P 9mm round in them either. Personally, I’d rather carry +P 9 mm and have twice as many rounds, but to each his own.
@@rono33 relax pal, I was being facetious. Thought it was obvious. 😁
I think it will work well in the short term. Put most of your stuff in a storage unit and just have essentials for 2-3 days. Shower in the gym. The thing I worry about is the bathroom in the middle of the night.
I just keep a bottle in my car. Problem solved! haha..
Thanks for step by step
Thanks for making this video!
Thank you for the information! I am thinking about traveling in my Y but FL heat is challenging without climate control
Love the video.
Thank you!
They most likey do that to save as much battery but there should atleast be a setting to change it.
Thank you!
What drain more energy camp mode at 72 or keep mode at 72? Thank you
What is your battery degradation after all those Kilometers and nights with the AC on? I've been wondering this for months now 😊
I haven’t noticed any degradation just from driving, how does one find out? I’m sure there’s probably a little and very minor. However, I did have to replace my heat pump compressor once under warranty.
@@LivinginTesla when you had to get the heat pump compressor replaced, was the heat just not working at all? Wondering what types of HVAC repairs will pop up using it full time every night. My passenger fan makes a creaking noise when I first get in and I have to manually turn on the passenger fan in the screen to get it to stop creaking 🤷🏼♂️
@@zachlindsey4470 Yeah, the heat just stopped working all of a sudden and won't allow any keep/dog/camp controls. Oh, that's so weird because I have the same issue with the passenger fan, sometimes it just keeps switching between on and off nonstop.
Digital nomad writes about low degradation. 200000 miles.
Thanks👏
I would love to see you camp one day in a cybertruck. Fingers cross for you man.
Thank you John 🙏
all good my tesla doesnt even have sentry mode haha
btw, i think in an older video you showed that you use a drape or curtain to cover the windows at night when you sleep. Can you share which one/ kind it is? ty
Without camp mode the car triggered the alarm when I was just sitting in the drivers seat. Additionally when you lock the car from the screen the bluetooth unlock feature from outside is turned off. Nobody can unlock the car from outside.
Hmmm, good to know. I wonder if it will work by covering the interior camera. For research purposes: which model, factory, USS/Vision, is your tesla?
@@LivinginTesla I have a Tesla Model 3 SR+ 2021 MiC with an older software version 2022.20.8
EXCELLENT video. Thank you and Happy Trails! 😎👍
Hi Jimmy, when I tried the keep mode (sentry on), the car alarm is triggered when I moved inside. Even minimal movements. Somehow in dog mode the sentry is also off… so both dog and camp mode, sentry off
Those drone shots 👌🏽… so apart from sentry availability does it help with any battery savings as compared to camp mode?
Thank you. Nope, just sentry.
What are suggested HVAC setting when you camp (sleep) in your Tesla? I have noticed a lot of noise in auto mode. On the other hand when I set manual and fan to minimum, switch off AC and turn on only down vents there is not so much noise but after some time windows are going to be foggy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
awesome
Thanks John!
Tesla Camp Mode very good!!!!!!!!!!
It is! 💯
Hi Jimmy, do you think it's possible to live in tesla y completely about 2 months? I also need to work during weekdays from 9-5.
Hey, how relevant is this information today? (a year later?)
I think there are some differences with the vision-only Teslas now.
I would like to buy your product. But 1600€+300€ delivery to europe = 1800€ is expensive. Can you do a discount on that ?
Or, Can’t you sell the how to build it in case ? :)
Thank you for all your videos.
I just launched the Camper Kit Lite version that is around 1000€! ruclips.net/video/HxpYg_bRqyg/видео.htmlsi=R9hJTfRTuhAlsfPF
Does it use more charge than camp mode? Can you quantify?
I have not done a side by side comparison, but I'm guessing it's basically the same energy usage.
Why are you turning BT off? You can‘t open the Car from the outside, if you locked it through the In-Car-Screen.
I haven’t tried to open it from the outside nor anyone else yet, but I’m assuming the following: Once the car times out (when the screen turns off itself), the car will assume no one is inside and it’ll be ready to be unlocked if phone is nearby. I don’t know how the BT proximity works in details, but I’m going to think that if BT is turned on and the phone is inside, it’s going to be close enough for others to open the door from the outside.
Hmmm, this is interesting. So Tesla could update the software, no? Such that sentry and camp mode can run simultaneously?
Yes, they can do a software update. Dog mode used to be without sentry, now it does.
By not using camping mode at night, how much extra drain are you putting on the battery?
I have not done side by side comparison but I don't see any noticeable differences. It's still roughly 1% drain in a normal weather condition
Are you not able to turn it on Camp Mode, then turn on Sentry Mode and lock the doors? I swear I've done that using the app.
I don't think it's possible with the current software
Is dog mode any use as an alternative to camper mode? (Sorry if this seems a dumb question or has already been answered)
Yes! Dog mode is great too :) you’ll just need to cover the screen with a shirt or something as it’s super bright.
Does the air conditioning stay loud? Camp mode was too loud for me, I assume "Keep" does the same? Do you use ear plugs?
Yeah, the fan sometimes is loud relative to the outside and inside temperatures. I don't use ear plugs as it doesn't bother me.
Turn the fan down to 1. I've not found the need for anything higher in the UK.
What’s with the misleading titles on most of these Tesla videos? Cheesus
oopsie
Wont there be a risk of triggering the alarm if you move inside the car?
Based on my experience, I haven't had issues moving around in my car, just not making any wild movements.
@@LivinginTesla I tired it in my model 3 and had the alarm go off, could have been due to moving a bit to much, did not feel like I moved a lot though.
But do you have so sentry mode uses the cameras for threat detection? (it was added a couple of versions ago I believe), maybe it uses the internal camera as well and that was what triggered it.
@@MrErebusDarkness hmmm that is very much possible. I have heard that even mosquito can trigger sentry. I have vision detection turned on but my car also has USS sensors. Perhaps try covering the internal camera when camping?
@@LivinginTesla I also have the USS sensors, covering the camera might work, I will try to turn off the camera based detection and see what that does.
Btw it is nice to see new videos coming on the channel, good work.
can you not just lock the car in the app or from the tablet when your in it? lol.
Awesome home on wheels but, not good for claustrophobic people.
Good example of how software engineers rarely use what they develop and how they never listen to feedback from those who do.
Dog mode used to have no sentry before, so hopefully they can give camp mode an update soon!
your 360 camera is horrific. Never ever!
Once you lock your car from the inside they can’t open the doors from the outside. I’m assuming that’s why you turned off Bluetooth.
