Beginner Camping Tesla Road Trip - Part 1

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I couldn’t believe how quickly I got to the end of this incredible video, luckily there is a lot more to come!

[@joetripp123]

Great video, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@MickBeard]

I'm in the UK and you're living my dream! Thanks for a fantastic video.

[@kkitzhaber]

GREAT video. Thanks for making it. I have travelled across ND twice with my Model S. How ironic that I'm planning a trip to the Carolinas next month. Keep on making great videos!

[@davidkendall2272]

Your road trip brings back a lot of memories of a cross country road trip my wife and I did in 2014 in our 2012 MS, 8000 + miles from Edmonds, WA to NYC to march in the Peoples Climate March and then down to Florida to visit friends in Jacksonville. We were challenged back then because the Supercharger grid was not fully built out especially through Montana on I-90. We had to overnight at two RV parks to access RV charging outlets, and a fellow Tesla owner let us charge for 4 hours in Bozeman, MT. It was an epoch trip, and watching your trip brought back a lot of positive memories.

[@RobertHanna]

Great trip so far. I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos. I hope you're having fun!

[@k34561]

We went to North Dakota from Boston. It was before we had a Tesla. But we did drive Lexus RX-450H Hybrid. We pulled a 3500 lbs popup camper. It still got 19 MPG. I was surprised. We went to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Then dropped down Custer Custer State park in South Dakota to watch the annual buffalo roundup.

[@renambot]

Yes, V3 is 4 chargers per cabinet, 2 cabinets for an 8-stall station.

[@bencaruana9734]

Wow I am getting a Tesla now. Bc my dad is getting me one.

[@geek2330]

Nice trip, this is something I'd been wanting to do for a while. Cannot wait for the next video showing the wilderness and off grid.

[@Rei_n1]

Excellent! Keep on posting and updating, including your useful experience with charging in the colder climate.

Greetings from Charlotte. I am at the Asheville SC a few times a month - they are expanding it.

[@teslabailey1398]

You need to do more camping trip in your Tesla Model y

[@i1Tesla]

This is only the first of many on the trip. I am still on my trip and will be posting many more videos

[@jacousarrazin8531]

Really cool video, good pace. Fun to follow you in this adventure.

[@i1Tesla]

Thanks, appreciate the kind words!

[@LeeWilsonJr]

Loving the start of the trip! Really looking forward to seeing it all. Have fun and be safe!

[@tesbros]

Even with all the obstacles we ran into, I'm glad it still turned out great.😅 Come by the shop again anytime!

[@TheTechofTech]

I don’t have all the extra stuff drawing off the 12V system in my Model 3, but I have zero issues running my fridge or charging a power station. Wish the Model 3 had an outlet in the trunk.

[@i1Tesla]

You can add a plug, google it. It can be done

[@bw12765]

LOL....Corona beer and Campbell's Soup..... only you, Brian!!!

[@batandball617]

What a great trip and demo!

[@pksilvia]

Great trip so far and great video! Can't wait to watch the next one 👍🏻

[@bikalpakafle9709]

wwowww love to see such video on upcoming days

[@kore996]

I know it would take up more room, but what about adding a power station in the back where you can recharge it with solar panels. This way, it’s completely separate from your vehicle… you could run a Bluetti or EcoFlow power station. Just a thought Since it could be used for sew much more.

[@mullman]

Help me understand the roof tent. The Tesla roof rails say a maximum weight of 150 lbs - the tent is almost all of that before people.

[@trees812]

I’ve read elsewhere it’s 150 lbs when moving. Stationary max weight is much higher, like in the 500s.

[@anthonyreynolds2365]

@@trees812 Exactly. The roof is designed to hold the weight of 4 Model Y's stacked on top of it. The 150lb limit is to ensure the normal stability of the vehicle at speed. You don't want to make this car top heavy when moving.

[@jeffkrupke3810]

Cool trip so far.

[@ethanblankenship6478]

Holy crap you started out at old mountain old in statesville!!! I live in mooresville and I’ve been infatuated with Tesla and I want one so bad

[@i1Tesla]

I live in Mooresville too

[@Reddylion]

Nice camping

[@MXP90DL]

Replace 12v tesla battery with 12v lipo battery and you will be all set. Mine only lasted about 12 months. My lipo is strong and it's been over 2 1/2 years so far. I run tons of 12v extras.

[@JuanMii24]

A to D share. Same number always share. On V2 is a 150kw cabinet for A and B. Alone max output shared 75kw. On V3 each cabinet is 1 MW splits 250kw per stall. Doesn't matter if only one stall is in use or all 4

[@TH-ns9zf]

Nice to have 110v outlet like the new Ford

[@sakru100]

If you do dual 12v battery set up can you do double 12v lithium ion battery set up!

[@k34561]

My strong suspicion is that V3 Superchargers do share. They say they cabinet can handle 1 MW. What they don't tell you is they power input to the cabinet doesn't. I saw a photo of the name plate that listed a 480 V 500 Amp 3 phase input. At a power factor of 1.0, that is 415 KW. Not anywhere close to 1 MW. There was an extra input 550 KW (DC?). Maybe for a Tesla Powerpack battery or connect to another cabinet. Or on sites with heavy usage they could plug in extra power. Who knows. I have a only charged on a V3 a couple of times. On the way out on a week day, by myself I got 250 KW. The same site was mostly full on a weekend, 7 out 8, I don't think we ever went about 150 KW. My guess full sharing level on a V3 is probably at least 90-100 KW, better the V2's 70 KW.

[@alibanava]

Hi Brian, do you have a video on how to install those two round fog lights?

[@loljz]

You need to do a hour long video out of spec style haha, loving the videos can't wait to see the rest of the series.

[@i1Tesla]

Appreciate that Jason!

[@el.ectric8001]

Starved Rock! Been there many times, very cool place.

[@i1Tesla]

Very cool!

[@jamesshields1969]

Also please do a short video for us about the way you have set up your solar panel to goal zero power power pack? I intend to do the very same thing brother

[@i1Tesla]

Ok, will do

[@TheFutureisTheFuture]

Very cool! The most interesting thing to me is why anyone would give this video a thumbs down... humans be weird...

[@i1Tesla]

Best comment of the day!!! Thanks man!

[@miasinisakura3194]

Did sunstoppers do that fantastic mountain range decal? I absolutely love that!

[@i1Tesla]

The TeslaBros did. It make the car look amazing

[@roger_is_red]

Well I am now ready for a road trip!! I got my Y so we are heading out sans the tent. My wife will sleep in the Y and I will be on sentry for bears, cougars, Indians, and rattlesnakes.

[@binodsubedi1166]

Hoping more videos like this Will come in the future 🙂

[@TeslaKägi]

Roadtrip 😍👌🤘✌️

[@jamesshields1969]

I’m not ballin’ enough to own a Tesla yet. Just a Hyundai Tucson🤣, but I’ll get the apps for sure and I already have the solar panel purchased with the Yeti 500x power bank. I just wanna see how you mounted it to your shell top

[@robertwilliamgriffiths2591]

You would like it here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@Bry722]

Did you ever figure out why the Tesla thinks the 12v battery needs replacing even though you have a solar panel to charge it?

[@robertwilliamgriffiths2591]

Where is the bathroom ☺️

[@i1Tesla]

Well, that one is tricky. Today my wife even went on the side of the road, lol

[@JeanPierreWhite]

@@i1Tesla I bet Karen is loving you lol

[@georgepelton5645]

Brian, Try a Lithium 12 V battery, instead of dual. Or maybe do both! Also, what is your Wh/mi consumption with your set-up?

[@Scottmp123]

Darn it Brian, I’m in Minneapolis! I could have helped with a camping area. Great vid.

[@jakesta11]

That vinyl should have been 2 or 3 tone tan/green.... That wrap was brutal

[@i1Tesla]

Thanks for watching!

[@batandball617]

The wrap is unique, I like it. This is completely original content, no one else is doing anything like this actually using a Tesla MY for family activities! It’s. Well done i1 Tesla!

[@pglsp]

hopefully buying my tesla 3 at beginning of November. NC guy here. Live near Winston Salem.....actually at Hanging rock. probably gonna have 1000 plus questions for you. what all is in your Y? Who did your wrap? that screen behind your steering wheel?

[@308FCAR]

Do you have a link to your solar panel on your RoofNest?

[@Bry722]

What solar controller did you install in interior ceiling?

[@cypvh74]

What do you have on the dash in front of you?

[@georgepelton5645]

What is up with your slow V3 supercharging? How slow was it? Did you navigate to the supercharger to pre-warm your battery?

[@KaceyGreen]

Brian with the dad-ism "this is going to hurt me more than you" but this time it's true

[@KaceyGreen]

V3 expansion at Asheville!

[@KaceyGreen]

313, I wish mine would consistently be that low or lower, 280s is a very good day

[@KaceyGreen]

I wish sharing to tge car was more consistent it seems to have three behaviors

[@KaceyGreen]

Yeah most V3 I visit don't say which ones they are. They're always sharing but the split is fixed to 250 per stall no shifting more to another stall based on who gets there first

[@KaceyGreen]

I remember when I last looked at ND and there were no Superchargers 😅

[@robertwilliamgriffiths2591]

No Tesla charger here

[@stuarthoffman1668]

Question: Is that a gps in front of you while your driving? Great video, informative and entertaining too.

[@i1Tesla]

Aspen Grove RV Park

[@RussellFineArt]

VERY cool tent! Nice road trip, not wild about the car wrap, the original color is much prettier, just sayin'.

[@suraj_khurana]

hoping that was a biodegradable soap.

[@Pixeldots]

How do you like the Jowua phone holder? Does it wobble while driving?

[@thebossut]

Hey Brian love the videos. Do you think the XL version will work as well. It's right at the limit of the crossbars at 165LB. Reason I ask is it's me, wife and our 3 yo son that goes camping. The slightly extra room would be nice. Unless you think the non-xl will have enough room. Thanks.

[@AI-Driven-Entrepreneur]

I'll never understand those who tent camp with a Tesla. I want the climate control and safer / quieter camping experience of the Tesla camp mode. With Roof top storage / tents you diminish range. My approach is minimizing gear for experiencing the outdoors via hikes and more destinations rather than the lower range, less comfort, longer setup time.

[@cypvh74]

Did you have power at that first campsite?

[@robek3715]

Whats on the bonnet of the car (The black square)? :/ If its a solar panel.... what is it charging?

[@i1Tesla]

Yes it is twi solar panels, however it’s a prototype and it is charging my battery pack and 12 V battery

[@TesLatino]

I want to be like Brian when I grow up.

[@i1Tesla]

Who says I grew up, lol. I still wear basketball shorts everywhere! You have traveled the country more than I have, I am learning from you!

[@TesLatino]

@@i1Tesla Enjoy the trip, brother. We'll do a couple of crazy extended trips together one day.

[@TonyBeingTony]

How did the roof support you and your tent? Just curious because the weight limit is 150 lbs according to Tesla :O

[@Hildepedia]

I plan to road trip to Glacier national park, from FL, in the next year or two in my Y Not much of a camping person, sooo my Trip will be a little different Curious what speed you’ve been typically doing and your average wh/mi. I think you said 450ish at some point I watched a video from Kyle several months back when he was surprised how good his range was with a rooftop storage device. He was driving his 3, and I’m sure his storage device is smaller than your tent Just curious Hope all goes well!!! Enjoy yourselves thoroughly!

[@i1Tesla]

My tent is larger than Kyle's rooftop storage. My Wh/mi averages 430 at 75 mph. Keep in mind, the tent, big tires, lift kit and a full packed car also come into play with the Wh/mi. Softroading yesterday my Wh/mi was 350, having a blast!

[@LIamaLlama554]

Roof rack can’t be good for range. They say just the side mirrors Rob 5%.

[@midnighttoreo]

? does the 12 volt stay charged from main battery or how are you powering the lights

[@i1Tesla]

From the battery packed which is charged by the solar panels

[@midnighttoreo]

@@i1Tesla ok so if i was to use the 12 volt from my my i would just kill my 12 volt battery im a long time primitive camper just trying to figure out what i can do in my model y

[@jseif4336]

Im curious about the RTT on the Y. I traded in my 4Runner for my Y and still have the RTT I used. looking at the roof and the rack design I was nervous about the safety and stability on top of the Tesla. How has it been for you?

[@jamesshields1969]

Are there any sort of specific things to take into consideration for RT camping? My wife and I are going to do this from Olympia WA. To El Paso TX and we want to camp most of the nights that we can

[@i1Tesla]

Definitely get the On X OffRoad app to find trails and also the app iOverland to find camp grounds. Also biggest tip, test how much range you need. May be off due to wind drag of the tent.

[@nexu2010]

Trust it. 8% is enough

do you regret trading the 3 for the crappy Y i mean anything you can do in a y you can do in a 3 better like towing or offroad
