    Living in Tesla's are the new trendy alternative to renting a room in a shared house Eg a person will usually pay approx £500-600 a month Eg £6k + a year to rent a room in a houseshare and have nothing at the end of the year to show for it etc Whereas if a person lives in the car that they own and buy the equipment here in this video etc they own their own accommodation and have free energy for life and no household bills except car costs etc It's the way forward Best car tour I've ever seen

    Love the engineering behind it, i guess he's a tech or engineer at least he has that mindset it's nice ! There are improvements for sure, like everything and it's what's really cool. Figure out the quirks of your gears to fix it. Table solution will be solved soon if he looks at designs on the internet for example with a router, make the shape of 2 bent metal rods that will act as feet and that fold inside the table itself. At first i thought it'd have been better to link both water tanks together but in case there's a leak i prefer his setup, way easier to quickly find the leak, disconnect it and not loose the content from the other container. For the induction cookers i was also thinking how they'd work with the shitty PWM (kinda) system it uses like to go 60% it like heats up to 100 then 6secs after goes down to 0 etc.. it's stupid, cheap way to do that but stupid still so i like he did research on that. For the solar panel cable at the back you usually never go on top of the rubber trunk or door seals, but at least he went on top and where the trunk itself kinda reduces the amount of water that could enter so it should be fine. For his electrical system he'd need a fire extinguisher and a killswitch to me, with the water tanks close by and all flammable material it's a no brainer. The multi socket acts as so yep but I'd literally open the battery and waterproof an external killswitch between the battery and the motherboard (that's a bigger project though xD) For the frunk you can put stuff under the hood itself, thin stuff ofc but that's a way to store big and thin items like stools, tent, folding wood boards (?) To use as tables when eating in the car. But i like all the thinking behind everything, to gain space ! That's what I'm doing as I'm currently redoing my small apartment, think multipurpose ! Awesome !

    That's why I've come to the conclusion to rather get a Model Y than a 3. Good to find you and get inspiration how to build the interior and technical installation. So cool to find people who like to use their Tasla as a camper. I was thinking to get a box for the towhitch to have more storage for personel stuff as shoes and clothes. But first I have to replace my Ioniq with a Model Y.

    I agree! If Model Y Juniper has an inverter, will probably buy it and ditch the Ecoflow battery. Also, will give my Starlink to my parents and buy the new model which is super slim, and fix it to the glass roof (inside) so it's hidden between the roof and the sunshade. Returns all the space to the user!

    Did road trip from Maine to Florida and car camped in the Tesla Y the whole way!!! No hotels at all! It was wonderful!!! Stayed at Love’s Travel centers and Cracker Barrels that allow one night stays and stayed at Campgrounds!!! Was able to charge at campgrounds with 30 amp or 50amp ( if campsite had 50 amp) charger adapters that attach to Tesla mobile charger. Super fun and comfortable and a more authentic experience of the area you’re in. Got so many ideas from this video!!!

    @@jmmcmcm Hi!!! Istayed mostly at the above mentioned places. Loves travel centers, Cracker Barrel ( can have breakfast there too) and even a Walmart. Many of them will allow a one night stay for travelers. RV and car Campers tend to congregate in areas away from the front door of the establishments. We met friends in Fl who found some state parks where we stayed a couple of nights here and there. We camped inland off of the Forgotten Coast of Fl which is in North Western state. Nothing to write home about but gave us a place to shower, do laundry and charge the car. Two places I remember were Manatee Spring State Park and St Joe’s Beach had a state park too. It all depends what part of Florida you are going to. I recommend camping at Anastasia State Park ( has beach which I went to last year) on East coast or to go visit Anna Maria Island Beach on West Coast of Florida ( not a camping spot that I know of). Make sure you have the mobile charger and that allows you to trickle charge. If you get the 30 amp or 50 amp attachment for the mobile charger, you can charge much more quickly. Some campsites don’t have the 50 amp. In case you don’t already have it, it is a good idea to have a heavy duty 10 gauge or 8 gauge 25 ‘extension cord. I learned this on KZread. It surely came in handy for camping spots where electrical hookup was further than mobile charger could reach. Also make sure ( if you haven’t already) to get charging adapters that are for EVs and not RV ones. You can also get a Black Card Planet Fitness Gym membership for $25/month and you and a guest can shower in any state you are in. Showers at Loves went up to about $19 each. Can do laundry there too. There are apps out there to find campsites for car, tent camping. I’m still learning too😄 Have a wonderful trip!!!
