A person can also charge the ecoflow at an electric charger at the same time as charging the tesla etc and if you have 2 ecoflows and pair tem they can charge up a tesla remotely for a few miles etc
Very impressive!! ..and yes! Networks in Europe and the USA to exchange and meet other camping Tesla owners would be nice! Please post the links once you have them!
The fridge in the little compartment is awesome. This set up is very nice. Tesla’s new robotaxi should have solar panels integrated into the rooftop and also a built in Starlink dish. The model Y has even more room.
Tesla having vehicle-to-load would simplify this car camping for many. Would be less nead for solar setup and for most, no need for ecoflows which take up much useful space in the vehicle
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!
This video has the measurements: th-cam.com/video/kqjMIfyoSQw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7fpC5rNxV0GlT0dQ We've also just launched the Camper Kit Lite! th-cam.com/video/HxpYg_bRqyg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6Ot8FAq980xVGLDt
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 TH-cam. 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!!!
I have all the needed cords and adapters for charging. I also have a backup EcoFlow delta Max that charges off the dc outlet while driving or charging. Full, it gives an extra 5miles of charge if I were truly stuck. Thanks for those places you listed - I know about the Cracker Barrel’s and Walmarts, bass river pro shops and the fitness pass.. I’ll google those other places you mentioned.. I have driven cross country many years ago for a couple of months, so this time I plan to have a ton less stuff overall. Kind regards, Jim
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 !
He said he's a plot and that he loves to fly, when describing the cost savings from traveling to and around Normay in the MY as opposed to the traditional approach of planes plus rental. 🙂
What a cool video! Is there anyone out there that could help me understand something, if you wanted to put the solar panel underneath the top glass in the Tesla so it’s not outside, how badly would it’s performance be affected by the glass? I know it’ll be less because of the shadings and stuff but I’m curious if there’s anyone out there that could test it with their vehicle. Thanks!
@@feelingkMe too. Tesla should incorporate the solar panels, have a built in Starlink dish, and have electrical outlets inside in addition to usb A and C ports on the new model 2 or robotaxi.
@@goog850 if you mean the low voltage battery that comes with the car, it's now 16V in Teslas. It charges automatically from the high voltage battery through a DC-DC converter. We can't manage this process, as it's all internal to the Tesla vehicle. I think the algorithm measures the outflow from the 16V battery and actively flows from big battery to small battery through DC-DC converter to match the outflow rate
@@julienvm great video Julien. Lots of ideas for my new MY. Can you tell me where you got the solar panels from? and if they are used for charging the car?
@@daveguyler2284 they are from ecoflow (100W flexible, and 220W Bifacial). They charge the Ecoflow 2kWh battery, Delta 2 Max, which has 2 MPPT inputs with 500W each. This small battery can charge the vehicle battery via the AC outlets, by using the Tesla Mobile Connector and charging the Tesla via its charging port. A lot of losses due to the DC/AC conversion, I would say about 25% losses. If you have 1000W of solar coming in, you can continuously charge the car at 750W which is very little.
I will totally buy a Tesla Van. However, I might keep the Model Y, as it is very stealth. You can park it anywhere and nobody knows someone is sleeping in it!
People discover that with Tesla and EVs, where even as a 23yo I'd do with my shitty Fiesta xD Our parents did that decades ago but people discover : life, only now, tf x)
This is much better for us: virtually free to operate (no fuel, free supercharging for now), constant temperature during night without burning fuel, stealth so no one knows we're sleeping there and can park anywhere.
You shouldn’t be watching this video if you don’t want the information. If you want an ugly camper made of cardboard and flimsy plastic off-gassing every VOC known to man, you go right ahead! I’ll take my Tesla in camping mode with its constant inflow of HEPA filtered fresh air, thanks.
