Three Tesla Camping Setups Compared
You just saved 2 min.
The big takeaway
Three friends camping across Germany in different Tesla models showcase their distinct sleeping and gear solutions: an inflatable mattress in a Model Y, a Snoozu bed in a Model 3, and a memory foam mattress in another vehicle, demonstrating that anyone can camp with what they have.
The Three Camping Setups
Eli's Model Y with Inflatable Mattress
Eli sleeps on a dream case inflatable mattress in his Model Y, which he inflates each night and deflates each morning. This setup is simple and portable, designed specifically for car camping.
Case's Model 3 with Snoozu Bed
Case uses a Snoozu bed in his Model 3, which he acknowledges is not the most suitable car for camping due to its smaller size. Despite the tight quarters, he reports sleeping well and plans to detail pros and cons in a follow-up video.
Alexander's Memory Foam Mattress Setup
Alexander uses a memory foam mattress he already owned from a previous apartment, paired with a regular pillow. While comfortable for back sleeping, it becomes hard on the sides. The mattress originally cost around 2,000 euros but was repurposed rather than purchased new for camping.

Camping Philosophy and Gear
Use What You Have Philosophy
The group emphasizes that anyone can go camping by using whatever they already have rather than waiting to buy specialized gear. This approach removes barriers to entry and encourages spontaneous camping trips.
Eli's Portable Camping Table
Eli brought a foldable table purchased from a Swedish version of a budget retailer (TMU/Tama). The table folds down to minimal height and fits in the Model Y's trunk, providing a surface for meals and gear organization that works across different Tesla models.
