TESLA CAMPING in REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK - Road trip from LOS ANGELES to the FOREST // 4K

[@Dawid198X]

Amazing road trip, we need more videos like this👌

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you!! I try to do these trips about once a month so there will definitely be more soon. 🙌🏽

[@Dawid198X]

@@taylordencermedia awesome can't wait ✌️

[@SungHomie]

Only the V2 Superchargers (150 kW) split power with other stalls. The V3 Superchargers (250 kW) do not split power and you can park next to another Tesla without sharing

[@taylordencermedia]

Thanks for the clarification! The only supercharging stop I saw V3 superchargers was in Kettleman city. The rest were V2.

[@kibb]

Love the video and seeing your road trip and camping experience! The Coalinga SC, San Mateo SC and the Ukiah SC you went to were also V3’s. A good way to distinguish the version SC, aside from the thickness of the cable, is the metal band at the base of the handle (present on V2 but not V3). Just found your channel! Going to look back at your past camping videos too!

[@taylordencermedia]

@@kibb oh that’s great to know, I did not realize! Thanks for that info! And thank you for supporting my channel, so glad you enjoyed the video! 🙌🏼

Great road trip! Tesla vehicles and its superchargers make it all possible. V-roll is awesome, and the narration is great. 👍

[@taylordencermedia]

Thanks so much! Tesla camping has been so fun!

[@TBCOML]

Its awesome that you can actually charge your tesla at any camp ground that has electrical sights. Makes it super convenient to be able to charge at them while you sleep or in case of emergency.

[@taylordencermedia]

@@TBCOML yep, it’s super convenient!

[@henrycruz45cal]

Your partner is a keeper! She unpacked the whole car while you were summarizing. Great trip! Thanks for sharing.

[@taylordencermedia]

She sure is! Don't know what I'd do without her. Thanks for the support!

[@Deetroiter]

The SC stop at 41:15 is one of my favorites. I also go into the cafe when I pass by and get one of those Nitro Espressos lol. Great video and scenery, thanks for sharing with us.

[@taylordencermedia]

It was so cool! our first charging stop on the trip I had no idea about the lounge, even though it was right down the street. So glad I caught it on the way back. Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed!

[@vegasteslafamily]

Let’s go! Thanks for the video. You’ve inspired us to do a camping trip!

[@taylordencermedia]

Oh that's amazing! I just posted a Tesla camping video from Death Valley a couple months ago! Have you been there before?

[@vegasteslafamily]

@@taylordencermedia we watched it! 😁 never been!

[@taylordencermedia]

Oh you'll have such a great time! Safe travels and enjoy!!

[@laplena1727]

Hi Taylor! Found your channel about 2/3 weeks ago, and have seen a few of your videos so far. I recently picked up a MYAWD 7-seater (I have kids), and I'm interested in doing some car camping in the future. Little by little I'm getting a few things, like shades for all the windows, a car mattress and a car tent (where you open the trunk and attach the tent to it). I very much appreciate the information on campgrounds around the west coast (I live in San Diego) and getting a feel on how to plan around for supercharging and having a ballpark idea on what the overnight consumption is on camp mode. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos and seeing what things you try and think are good additions, or not so much. Good luck and stay safe out there! - (liked and subscribed :) -

[@taylordencermedia]

Hi!!! Wow thanks so much, I'm glad you're going to start Tesla camping! I'm starting to make more review videos on different products I've purchased like my mattress and cooler, and I have a couple other videos on deck as well. But I'm glad my videos have been helpful! Happy camping!

[@Shellos2Gastrodon]

What a cool trip! I've never been but this made me wanna add it to my bucket list. the hiking trails look sooo epic too!! Great video !

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you for the support! Definitely go check it out if you can, it was super awesome.

[@iBasskung]

Can you provide any safety tips or precautions to follow when sleeping in an electric car to avoid potential hazards?

[@taylordencermedia]

@@iBasskung that is an excellent question! It is very safe to sleep in the Tesla overnight. In fact, Tesla has a safeguard when using camp mode, if the battery reaches 20% it will automatically shut off camp mode so that it does not empty your battery. Additionally, while using camp mode, it disables sentry mode or the car alarm. This is just something to be aware of and to just make sure you lock the car before going to sleep. I also keep the drivers seat free of any items so in case for whatever reason I need to climb over and drive away quickly, I can.

[@trainvideos202]

Beautiful video. Thank you. What kind of camera did you use?

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you! Just used my iPhone 12! I have a DSLR that I use for taking landscape photos but it’s a bit cumbersome to use for the vlogging.

[@caraaruza7197]

Hi. Just got my model y and your channel is so inspiring. Done subscribed. Will start my teslacamp memoir soon

[@taylordencermedia]

Congratulations on your new Model Y! I’m glad you found this inspiring. Happy camping!

[@boofbonsuh6694]

I just now came across your channel, and now I’m hooked (and subscribed 😄). One of THE very best productions of its type, IMO. Fantastic commentary, superb video. You WILL get back to Pt.Reyes and I predict that you’ll love it. Kudos for the courage of taking on present-day SF and Oakland. Your common sense advice on traveling there is an energy drink for fellow travelers. Happy trails 🏜️.

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you so much for the comment and sub!! I really appreciate it! SF was cool, I had such a small amount of time there as it was just meant to be a place to stop along our route to break up the drive. But yeah I would like to get back to point Reyes at some point!

[@firdaus9752]

Love your vlog. And the diy platform is kinda interesting. Keep it up!

[@taylordencermedia]

[@chrismcelroy5193]

Love your videos. You definitely need more subs 👍🏻 for this quality. My wife and I want to do this when we retire soon!

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙏🏼 the subs are nice but honestly I just enjoy creating the videos and sharing them with others who have similar interests!

[@billlowe9417]

Very good video, Taylor. Thanks!

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@mortneff438]

I was conditioned to the shared power notion also. So I'd guess if it says 250kW and not 150kW it would be dedicated. The shared ones may say A and B. Faster Charging, No More Power Sharing V3 is a completely new architecture for Supercharging. A new 1MW power cabinet with a similar design to our utility-scale products supports peak rates of up to 250kW per car.

[@taylordencermedia]

Yep exactly. I didn’t realize that some of the superchargers I went to were actually V3 instead of V2, but I guess someone else in the comments mentioned you can tell the difference by the thickness of the cable and the presence of a metal band below the connector.

[@CT_KD6-3.7]

Awesome trip ladies 👏🏻✌🏻😎. FYI: the Acopower sub trunk fridge is awesome. I just bought one for my Model Y LR and moved the mattress (Lost Horizon) to the frunk for storage. The next phase for the Y will be a double induction cooktop, camping cookware, portable coffee maker, water storage and a cooktop/table of some sort. That should round out the camping setup (maybe a rooftop cargo box on crossbars for additional storage 🤔).

[@taylordencermedia]

Thanks so much for commenting!! Ever since I made this video I actually got a Coleman camp stove (included it in my Carpinteria beach camping video). I’ll have to look into the sub trunk fridge!

[@paulkieffer1189]

Just bought the Packasport X-large box. Got it custom painted ultra red! Super sick

[@SuperchargedTravels]

@@paulkieffer1189 Be aware that aerodynamic drag has a much more dramatic impact on electric vehicles due to the fact that they are so efficient compared to ICE vehicles. Adding a roof top box will reduce your range by 10% to 25% depending on how fast you drive (doubling your speed quadruples drag).

[@Steelwheelsdutch]

Love your videos a lot greetings from Rene from the Netherlands 😊

[@taylordencermedia]

@@Steelwheelsdutch thanks so much!

[@blueacquisitions7262]

another great video! thank you for bringing us along. have you ever had to wait a long time for a super charger to be open up?

[@taylordencermedia]

Thanks for the support, glad you enjoyed! And nope, the only time I've had to wait for a supercharger is the one I use frequently close to home and the most I've ever had to wait is like two minutes. Never had to wait on my road trips before. But people typically aren't there very long so spots open up regularly.

[@bickert19]

Great video and beautiful scenery! Cooler seems like a great solution for the frunk. Do you carry a camp stove of any kind of chairs or table?

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you! The scenery was so beautiful! The cooler does alright! I'm still open to trying something else but for now it has worked out okay. I don't have any cooking gear yet but I'm actually about to purchase a camp stove this week! I do have a GCI chair but no table. Nearly all the campsites I've been to have a picnic table and I try to pack as light as possible, and chairs and tables take up a lot of space. But i'm not opposed to that either if I can find something small enough!

[@bickert19]

@@taylordencermedia Yeah I get the packing light thing. Most people tend to have too much gear, which can be overwhelming unpacking and repacking. For short trips it’s way easier to just pick up food on your way and keep snacks handy, but it can be nice to cook a hot meal at camp. Also I agree, established campsites provide a lot of amenities that mean you do not have to carry your own supplies. Safe travels!

[@taylordencermedia]

@@bickert19 yep exactly, I think if I had a spare tent or EZ-up where I could store everything overnight that might be better...but we're not there just yet haha. Now that I've done several road trips & camping trips we're going to start trying our hand at cooking a hot meal or two (but you're right, it's sooo convenient to pickup food in a nearby town!) But I'll definitely be making a video once we start cooking at the campgrounds. Thanks again for your support!

[@vegasteslafamily]

Kettleman city is an awesome charger! Wish lounges like that were more popular!

[@taylordencermedia]

It was super awesome! Hopefully they will grow in popularity among major routes!

[@memetastic01]

New sub here! Thank you for chronicling these road trips- they are super helpful! I would love to hear your opinions on the model y tent attachment if you ever invest in it.

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you so much for your support I really appreciate that!! I’m glad my videos have been helpful 😊 I don’t have a tent attachment just yet but I’ve been researching them - I can’t decide if I want one yet or not haha

[@Shallowleaf]

From what I have heard, you only need to worry about charger sharing with other Tesla's if they are less beefy than the V3's.

[@taylordencermedia]

Yes that is correct, I learned that after this trip. Thanks for letting me know!

[@Jelly-Mack]

Liked the flat tyre vid. Now im watching this lol. What made u get a model y over a 3. Thx

[@taylordencermedia]

Thanks for the support! I knew I wanted to take the Tesla camping and do road trips, so I wanted something that was comfortable to sleep in. And since the model 3 has a trunk but the Y has more of a hatchback, I went with the Y. It also just feels a bit more spacious, it's not so low to the ground so it's easy to get in and out of, etc.

[@Jelly-Mack]

@@taylordencermedia cool none.the less. I got my 3 about 3 weeks ago here in the UK n love it. Yh low n sporty. You guys make me jealous looking at san francisco and another guy goin to vegas not.far from where you live. Cheers keep the vids comin.

[@SFOtoLIH]

The next time you drive up to SF, take Hwy 280 up the SF Peninsula. It runs parallel to 101, but it’s a beautiful drive, and is actually faster than 101, since it has less traffic. Better road conditions as well.

[@taylordencermedia]

That’s good to know, thanks for the heads up! The map didn’t even suggest that route as an option, but I’ll try that next time.

[@SFOtoLIH]

@@taylordencermedia when driving north from LA, before getting to San Jose, take Hwy 85 north, then about 10 miles later, take Hwy 280 northbound towards SF.

[@YTGerry1]

Great tip video! I’m getting ready to try it here on the east coast. Question: Are you allowed to charge up to 100% at the Tesla chargers? I didn’t think you were allowed to do that. Again, great trip video. I’ll be following along in the future.

[@taylordencermedia]

Thank you! And yep, you absolutely can charge to 100%. It is not recommended to do that regularly for the overall health of the battery, but on long road trips it's perfectly acceptable. Just watch out for idle fees!

[@tomvartanian6643]

Did you stay in a cabin or a tent? Or did you just sleep in your car?

[@taylordencermedia]

Just slept in the car! Tesla has “camp mode” where it runs climate control all night. Stayed in a hotel in San Francisco on the way there and back, but otherwise did 4 nights in a row of sleeping in the car.

[@LearntodriveTesla]

Honest question , how safe was it driving through SF? Heard too many bad things and that I should avoid it at all costs on my trip.

[@taylordencermedia]

Super valid question, as I had the same concerns with it being my first time visiting. There are a lot of wonderful things about San Francisco, you just have to research what they are. In our case we stayed in a hotel each night we were there (which had an underground parking garage and valet attendants) so generally I felt way better about that than parking the car on the street. And then we walked to dinner and everywhere else we wanted to go. If you've never experienced the city, don't let that deter you from at least experiencing it once, just be vigilant and you'll be fine (:

[@LearntodriveTesla]

@taylordencermedia awesome, thanks very much , all your tips make sense and didn't even think of finding am underground or indoor parking. 👍

[@taylorhufford6484]
