Camping is underrated in a car. It's even a safety issue if you are deserted somewhere and need to sleep. Fossil users can't understand that it's basically a motorhome with heat pump and a big battery in it. Slept many times in an electric car and it's important for me to know how the car is to sleep. So, thanks for the reviews!
I do a lot of long haul travel in my diesel tow truck and sleep in it. Electric cars didn't invent camper mode. Have not slept in my Y or S yet but don't see how it will be much different
I slept many times in fossil aswell, never had any problems. I rather take cycle than EV car. For a person that does 2000km a week it just doesnt work because i have to be from A to B in specific time and it is not possible in EV. His 1000km roadtrip lasts like mine 2500km roadtrip
I find Bjorn’s camping segments very informative and useful. I own a Model 3 Performance; sleeping in it is just ok: the shelf and hump makes it less than ideal for car camping. Model Y looks to be very good! I probably shouldn’t be so fixated on whether a car is comfortable to camp in. Don’t know why. I don’t car camp often. I almost want to sell my Model 3 and go to Model Y for this reason.
My wife and I had to Camp in our IONIQ 28 kWh two days ago when our ferry was cancelled. Lost about 9 kWh in 12 hrs with 10C weather. It was pretty comfortable but Model Y would have been great. Other car campers were enquiring about our car 😀
I’m starting to think Telsa’s Model Y has a special place in your heart ❤️! :) Watching your old eGolf videos convinced me to buy a 2019 eGolf SEL. And now I have a MY on order!
This past summer I went on a 55-day trip and visited 27 national parks in the western part if the US. I stayed mostly in RV campgrounds and slept in my car while recharging during the night. I was by myself and divided the rear in two halves: one for my sleeping quarter and one for clothing and food. Despite the record high temperatures, the car hvac kept me cool (and warm on few rare occasions). Highly recommended if you're not too fussy.
Sleeping in model Y will have another advantage in cold winter days over sleeping in model 3, and that is the cold not coming in through the thin trunk lid + better climate circulation around feet area.
When I had my Model S P100D 2019 version, I also did sleep in my car with camp mode :) Was quiet nice tbh. This is why I wanna get back a Tesla in the future :)
Thank you TESLA Bjørn I am getting more and more inclined to get a Tesla Y or Skoda Enyaq. I like the camping mode and the dog mode on the aircon. And it is spacious as well. Thank you again for a great informative video.
Funny. Slept at exactly that spot july 2020. In a Skoda Octavia at that point, so not very comfortbale as i was sleeping in the front seat. Was going from Bergen to Tromsø.
Your videos are amazing. Lots of information and fantastic views of your country. You asked why you might be having issues with your insides after the food? I think it might be caused by old cooking fat at one of the places you ate. By the way having watched your video of the Fiat 500 La Prima, I am now the proud owner of a new 500 Icon in Rose Gold. Really impressed and the ride is very good on the smaller wheels 195/55/16 Continental. It would be interesting to see see how the Model Y behaves in the winter?
It was the fish and chips dinner: culprit is usually any dairy product...like the dressing, mayo, soft cheese. Skip the dairy or ask them to microwave it until hot...that will kill all. Butter is usually okay.
Amazing test thank you. Maybe model Y is the preferred car to lots of people because of efficiency, space, range, etc. Camping mode for sleeping make it a perfect car for holidays.
Bjorn, that may be your gallbladder - this happens to a lot of people, combination of hot food, fatty (that mayonaise ??) is difficult really for it to process, usually that happens like mentioned in comments too, 1-2hrs after. Peppers, onions are also gallbladder related when causing issues (and type2 discharges etc.)
One day, I will do like uncle Björn! It looks so nice and saves a lot money, specially in expensive scandinavia. Nice Video! I think your bad stomach is from fish & chips, from one of the two "cremes"
Food poisoning usually occurs 12-24 hr after exposure, and is usually accompanied by fever. I’m guessing your stomach just didn’t agree with something you had that morning? Maybe a strong or burnt cup of coffee? Stale or moldy bread?
I hope You will make soon "Tesla S plaid with 320 on German highway". This is time critical, because the parties negotiating for forming the new government want a 130 speed limit.
I've tried sleeping in the back of my Tesla Model 3, with camp mode on. But I wake up in the night with the most painful sinuses from dry air in the cabin (assumingly from the A/C running all night in such a small space). Has anyone else had this problem, and/or worked out a way to fix it?
@@rogerstarkey5390 you'd want something with a wider opening than a normal plastic bottle. Probably a couple spread through the car. Also if you set the temperature slightly lower it won't dry the air out as much
Can't believe the quality of facilities you have in Norway. If that rest stop was in the UK, all toilets would be broken, rubbish everywhere and full of truckers.
Food poisoning usually kicks in six hours approx after eating….. Ps. Try using eye mask and ear plugs when sleeping in car might contribute to an even better sleep………just saying 👍
Björn, my stomach really doesn't like (red) onions or paprika (especially raw), "type 2 discharge?" usually comes up within 1-2h after. So sad, tastes great, but live better without it...
Remember healthy food actually needs to be chewed 😄 I had to get used to that when I started taking my health seriously, and it was a hard habit to break
Bjorn, the problem with your stomach was caused by the burger and its meat. By your reaction I guessed “oh oh shit is coming”. Almost 100% sure. On my last road trip I ate a tartare beef. Biggest food mistake ever…. Next day a lot of visits to the toilet
Björn, do you happen to know whether the runours are true that the new Model Y from Berlin will come with 4680 batteries and -esp- air suspension? and I wonder when then the model 3 will finally start being produced in Berlin also with 4680 since I would really prefer the M3 but if MY has those modifications it would be a lot more attractive then M3. somehow i am not eager to get the LG.
Dear Bjørn. I watch from Denmark and very much like your videos. I am considering ordering a Tesla Model Y but is wondering if phantom braking on auto pilot is still a significant problem for Tesla? I have seen some older videos where you complain about the issue. Have you experienced phantom braking on your long trips with the Model Y? (comments from other Tesla owners are also most welcome). Thanks in advance
My daughter had yesterday a phantom breaking in a 30km/h zone. Two people on the pedestrian, the road small and start to bend to the right. My guess the Model Y thought if the car would continue to turn right it could hit the people on the pedestrian . So if von have just the intention to follow the small road and you get stopped suddenly to 0 in 2 seconds you need some time to get it and guardian angels to prevent to get rear entered. But my girls still preferring the Model Y because of the space and because they are sitting a bit higher.
Only thing missing for camping is a portable electric kitchen that you can plug into the charge port. I still wonder why Tesla doesn't allow for bi-directional power like some other EVs have today.
You can use a 1500w jackery with pass through charging that is constantly connected to the cigarette/12v connector in the Tesla. It will slow charge constantly and allow you to still run high power appliances, and you will have the 'buffer' of not having an inverter connected directly to the 12v (Tesla owners manual says not to use an inverter).
What size tires did you put on the 18” wheels? I just mounted Bridgestone Blizzak WS 90FZ 245/50 R 18 winter tires on my model y. They’re a little smaller diameter than the stock Continental Pro Contact RX 255/45 R 19 W104 M+S tires.
@@deas1972 agreeing to both OP and your comment. Also saw pictures from the model y UI with pictures of air suspension included. It might come. Auto leveling for parking in camping mode would also be great
Do you wash your hands thoroughly right before you eat? Make sure you don't touch anything someone else has touched(like door handles at the restaurant, or card reader etc etc) before you eat? No snacks or drinks in the car that could be the cause? Also have you tested so you're not lactose intolerant or something? 🤔 I've never had a type 3 on a road trip, but then I'm very careful with touching stuff other people have touched. I use a paper napkin to open doors for example. I also make sure to eat food while it's warm, if it got cold it needs to be reheated properly(not sure that pizza got all the way up to at least 70C to kill all bacteria?)
Björn, you are a millionaire right (choose the currency you like) - then you need to support the local tourism industry ! Serve the country ! Sleeping in a car is not good ! (I will explain with next comment )
You must be new here. Please watch my other videos. I actually spend a lot of money when I was in Tromsø, Bled (Slovenia), Lyngen North and many other destinations. As for this trip, I had no idea where I would end up for the night. That's why sleeping in the car makes more sense. Have you ever asked yourself why truckers sleep in their trucks? It's for convenience. Remember that they still support local business by eating at restaurants by the road. I also do that all the time.
Burger or fish? Could be both. Without knowing what your usual diet is, it is difficult to say. You look like your health is better in general since you had Covid? Eating cleaner perhaps? In which case burgers and fish&chips are heavy, western meals that are tough on the digestive system. Blood has to be pumped to the gut to get this food processed. Could be that these foods are too much for your system now. They're also full of fibre, which on top of other fibrous meals will maybe tip your gut over the edge and cause an evacuation! Other than that I have noticed several unplanned discharges this year, could be something more sinister like colitis or coeliac disease (gluten intolerance - not so common in asian populations, less gluten in thai diets for example). Both meals were both glutinous and gluten-y. Good health TB. 👍
