Car camping in a Tesla model S anybody?? Cool video.

Hi folks. I found this video on the web. If you have ever done any car camping this will bring back memories. Watch it through, this guy has a great sense of humour.

And just to clarify when you hear the term, "camping mode" in a tesla allows for constant running of the AC/heating system without having the car in the "on". So temperature as well as things like USB ports and entertainment system are enabled.

Maybe when we get a model 3. :)

Enjoy.

  • I've heard of people doing that in a Prius, too. The battery runs the climate control systems, and when the battery runs low, the engine kicks on to charge it.
  • Is he one of those Silicone Valley entrepreneur making high six figures but barely afford food and shelter?
  • Interesting. Electric is where we are headed I guess. Nice charging station in Lone Pine near Western movie museum unless it’s raining, snowing or windy.
