From the kid’s POV, you are the greatest dad ever. I remember my own parents taking me camping to Death Valley and sleeping at the back of my parent’s Audi estate. I also remember my parents keeping a fridge which was amazing for cold drinks but also killed the 12V and we had to hand crank the booster pack because it was faster than waiting for AAA.

Yeah, waiting for a tow truck in Death Valley would be both time consuming and expensive.

What a great adventure to have with your daughter 👍

Your daughter is adorable. Thanks for the ride

It’s just stuff for the worst case scenario, being stuck waiting for help, so it makes sense to put it under the mattress. Probably not going to use it.

Great adventure Thanks for including us❤

Great video. I've never been to Death Valley (I'm in NY) but you made me feel as if I was there with you both. And you're daughter's reactions and comments were wonderful. Thanks!

Cool video. Did that Death Valley trip years ago. Memories...

This video definitely got my subscription!!! Great video and I learned a lot!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Haha thanks for sharing, what an amazing adventure!

You are both adorable. I enjoyed virtually going on your trip with you. You seem like a great dad. I've camped plenty in my Model S and highly recommend it. I didn't see any video of you using your game controller. 🤪👾🎮🕹️ Okay. Your daughter talked me into it. Subscribe and thumbs up coming right up. 😄

Ironically, I've never had the time to play arcade games in the car other than to see what they are. When you're camping, there's just so much other stuff to do.

Your videos are excellent. Thank you.

Great content and amazing duo!!

Best Model camping review! I was surprised to see that a Model 3 fits a twin mattress 😮

Great content! Thanks 👍

Very cool video. I am trying to figure out how to make the 3D fly-by maps showing paths like you did in this video. I assume Google Earth app but would love to know for sure. Thanks!

If you have a low battery you can also use the regen breaking

Great videos and very informative!

I love your trips! My 2018 Model will not show me any maps when there is no cellular coverage and even when I’m on a journey in won’t navigate when it runs out of the map that was displayed. It’s very annoying and very disappointing. I have to pack lots of maps when I travel to the Sierra Nevada and the deserts. Maybe your newer computer has more storage to keep these maps in a queue? My past several cars have had navigation systems that stored millions of maps and data but you have to pay for yearly updates unlike in the Tesla. I hope that you have some advice for me! I actually saw that you did run out of map on the way to Badwater. I’m tempted to buy a nice Garmin for under $200 including lifetime updates! I am confident that eventually everything will be done via satellite 🛰️ someday, so none of this will matter!! 🎉🎉

The Tesla does keep a database of roads and addresses, so if you know the exact address of the destination then you type that in and navigate to it. I usually enter all of the important destinations into my car before I leave home so that they appear in the "recent" list. I also print out the important information with addresses on paper. Also, I happen to also have a Gamin with me which I was using to record my "track", but I could have also used to navigate in a worst-case scenario... but I don't think this is necessary at all. At some point in the future the Tesla vehicles will use Starlink as the primary data carrier.

@@SuperchargedTravels I had all of the places that I wanted to go saved in my address book, but once the map is blank it won’t even find a route to my destination.

Wow! No need special mattress! It’s fit straight out of bed.

I like the tesla process I just am thrown off how much you have to reply on chargers! Gas isn't as affected by heat vs a all electrical vehicle or is that false? my small Nissan kicks has 330 miles per gas tank... I would need a filled jug of gas with another 300 plus miles in order to feel safe going that far out into the desert

Planning is key when driving an EV. Tesla’s navigation is excellent at keeping you informed of your state of charge, predicted range and when you are out of range of the Tesla Supercharger network. Should the worst case happen, as long as you stick to the roads in Death Valley, you will be fine. Just bring enough water for the humans and eventually someone will come and help you. Keep in mind that most new phones have SOS that uses satellites to communicate, so being “off the grid” is not much of a thing anymore. In the old days, they used to have large water tanks on the side of the road in Death Valley because the gas-powered cars (which waste 60% to 80% of their fuel generating heat instead of useful work) would often overheat in the desert.

I got range anxiety just watching this. I'll stick with my PriusRV for now. 🙂

@@SuperchargedTravels Yep. Best thing about camping in a Prius is leaving the HVAC on, set to a certain temperature all night. The engine comes on periodically for a few minutes to recharge the main battery--which runs the A/C compressor and fan. When the HVAC needs to heat the interior, the engine comes on periodically to heat a portion of the engine coolant for the heater's heat exchanger. It uses less than 0.1 gallons of gas per hour to run the HVAC.

This is what Mars is like with a Tesla.

When you start charging battery was good for 66 mi, after finished 239 mi, paid $12.4. That came 7.2 cents per mile. Not sure what gas prices around your place. I’m paying $3.25 per gallon. On trips like yours it would cost 5.5 cents per mi for my Prius, even if I would be rushing to get from a to b instead of enjoying that nature beauty, still would be only 6 cents per mile. Yeah it’s cheaper and better to sleep in because it’s hatchback

I live in Los Angeles, so gas prices are much higher. Keep in mind that Superchargers are much more expensive than charging at home or work. I pay 3 cents per mile when I charge at home. So 500 of those miles is at 3 cents per mile. I do a cost comparison here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXxtrLt_qbSfpqg.htmlsi=Nxrsfx3mcvpYIN7m&t=238
