Back in the early 2000’s I did several cross country road trips, sleeping in my car. This was nostalgic for me. In about 3 years I’m planning on doing another cross country trip, but this time with my daughter in a Model Y. We’re going to go from New England to the west coast, then bring her to all of my favorite spots when I was younger. Thanks for making this great video and bringing back memories!

[@outdoorevofficial]

Those are amazing memories to look to back on! I’m glad I was able to bring you back there 🥹 I appreciate your support, and wish you all the best with your upcoming adventure with your daughter!

I will be driving my model S from Tampa FL to SF CA in March…then ship it to HI…it would be a nice drive😂

[@artxiom]

I'm planning to do a round-trip Portugal-Warsow this summer (around 2500km ~= 1739miles). Usually I had to always plan everything ahead and look for AirBnB's on the way, which are usually expensive and located further away from the main road. Now it will be just camping in the Model Y ☺

[@lorenzo575]

It must be nice for people to just cross country trips 😢

[@NHRunDad]

@@lorenzo575 I did my original ones when I was in my 20’s and lived mostly out of my car. I was switching between jobs and coasts, and took the time to have fun. One time I flew back to my home in northern NY for Christmas then had to go back to Seattle area after my leave was up. I was in the Army then. The next one will be planned with vacation and doing car camping with my kid.

[@drathen1556]

@@outdoorevofficialI’m curious to hear what you think about the update, especially since you like Autopilot. I’ve held off on the update due to the changes to AP that some people say make it next to useless.

[@outdoorevofficial]

@@drathen1556 There are some good things and bag things. I'm glad they improved the parking assist feature. It's cool they added the apple podcasts and updated some of the arcade games, however, I don't really use apple podcast nor the arcade that much. Majority of the update is great. I'm disappointed in the AP update. I think they went a little extreme on the Autopilot Suspension feature, but I get it they want to promote proper and safe usage of AP. Personally, I wish they didn't add that, but so far I've been driving with the new update for a little bit now, and I haven't ran into any major issues. It's just a bit annoying having to touch the wheel a lot more than I did and having to worry more about the warning than the actual road when I'm using AP.

Hi.. how do you find free charging (any app?) that you use in your trips? Requires planning but what is your suggestion when planning a trip with Tesla camping?

[@outdoorevofficial]

I use an app called Plugshare. I have an in-depth process when planning to go on a road trip that includes Tesla camping. I plan to make a dedicated video explaining more on how I prepare to go on a camping trip. Please be on the look out :)

[@surfntrucks]

The Cybertruck not having the wall between the bed and the passenger compartment fold down is a big miss for Tesla. The seats don't fold down for camp mode. It's less safe than camping in the S, 3, X, and Y. You have to use a tent over the bed of the Cybertruck. You probably can't pitch that tent in a Holiday Inn parking lot without security coming around. Imagine if that wall and the seats folded down and you can camp out inside the Cybertruck, it would have been a game changer. If you've read this far, you have an awesome channel that gives a younger, fresh take on owning a Tesla. I watched all the videos and noticed you got sponsorship within 2 months of starting the channel. Well done. Keep going.

[@outdoorevofficial]

Thank you so much for your comment. I also agree that Tesla missed a huge opportunity with the Cybertruck. I hope in their next iteration they would consider including a feature where you can unfold the seats to provide another bed option for you or guests. I appreciate the support and I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel so far. We love making videos and plan to keep it up!

[@hvu6037]

The outlets in the bed would be perfect for a small space heater, and lamp, phone/laptop charging. All that space in the bed would spacious for two. And the cover would make it very secure for the occupants

I like taking breaks on long road trips like these. I’m sure in the future, charging will get to be that fast. It’s situational for too, like 3hr long trips; I don’t want to have to stop.

[@pillington1338]

One tip, if you're looking to speed things up, try to get to between 10-20% when stopping at the Supercharger, as it will mean a much faster charge speed. Also, if you limit your charging to 80% it will shave 10-15 minutes off your charge times generally. It's of course a tradeoff, while it might make your trip shorter, it will mean a bit more charging stops total.

So how come you had to charge so much? I know you don't get as much range when it's really cold but it seemed like you spent an awful long time charging for a 2 day road trip, maybe it's just me.

The reason is, I didn’t start off the trip at 100% which why I needed to charge before going to my camping spot. At each charging station you don’t ever charge up to 100% it’s to a certain percentage until you can get to the next spot with extra battery. The cold definitely played a part.

Will take longer to charge to in colder climates. But yah in normal more warmer climates it’s very typical to get 15-20. The batteries need to be at a certain temp in order to charge. If they aren’t then they are warmed up as it’s charging but overall takes a bit longer

[@salexks]

That's a lot of charging

[@outdoorevofficial]

Costed me $0 each time 😎

[@sidneyt1016]

Why not just stay in the hotel, instead of sleeping in your car. Also, until there is a broader charging network, I will hold off purchasing an electric vehicle especially for long road trips. The constant delayed stops for charging and additional planning just not worth it for me.

[@outdoorevofficial]

It’s more cost effective to sleep in your car, and I wasn’t in any rush. I’m glad you know what you want. :)

I'm not from the US, what's the deal with the free chargers? Nothing is free!

[@outdoorevofficial]

There are a bunch of free chargers in the US with some regulation to them. Generally they are free :)

[@keithshayle7027]

Surely it would be easier to just stay in a hotel overnight.

[@outdoorevofficial]

It wouldn’t be cost-effective. I paid $0 for the entire road trip and a good experience :)

[@keithshayle7027]

@@outdoorevofficial valid point! I speak from the perspective of a 58 year old where the thoughts of adventure have long since been overtaken by the need for creature comforts! Here in the UK such long trips and distances are all but inconceivable. For me a long drive would be from London to Paris (via the Channel Tunnel) only some 400 miles. Or perhaps driving to Scotland- some 500 plus miles. I regularly see road trips in the U.S of more than double. In fact whenever I have been to the States would regularly consider these enormous distances as relatively easy! I wonder if its got something to do with the relatively light traffic you have on your motorways. Anyway thanks for the interesting videos, I've watched a few now on your channel!

7:10 why holding the camera and brushing?

[@lmb4876]

Why not?

[@outdoorevofficial]

Why not?

[@sam10818]

@@outdoorevofficial because you have to put paste and the clean brush after you're done. Easier with two hands

[@outdoorevofficial]

@@sam10818 You’re right, but I wanted to bring everyone along :)

"Terre Haute" vs Terra

[@outdoorevofficial]

What does this mean?

[@ken12269]

I am a big fan of Tesla camping and Tesla road trips, but I’m sure those free wall chargers are intended for guests of the hotel. I hope you asked before taking one for the entire night.

[@outdoorevofficial]
