Results: Camp mode used 14.6% battery over 12 hours. (~10.95kWh)
Test Conditions: Unplugged with outside temperature starting at -10°C and warming to -5°C by the morning. Warmed the car interior from 1°C up to 21°C, then let it get down to 14°C while I slept and warmed it up again to 21°C for an hour in the morning.

love the Canadian winter representation with driving and camping footage!
Thanks :)
I love how you say -5 isn't real winter hahaha!! Just goes to show how serious Canadian winters actually are!!!
We had over minus 10 here in germany and i almost died🤣
That’s Celsius.
I found this informative. Thanks for sharing!
beautiful views!
And it is great you have power at a campground in Alberta in the winter, that rocks!!!
And most of them are cheaper in the winter :)
thanks for the footage :)
Thanks for watching :)
The car is reporting the right temperature but it is the heatpump is extracting the heat of the air around the temperature sensor so the reason it is colder under the hood of the car than the ambient temperature.
Well that would make sense why it got "colder" outside once I turned camp mode on. Thanks!
Absolutely agree. I often have this on cold winter morning when the air is still and my heat pump is working like crazy. Often it can only be -5°c or so, but I get well below -10
Hey that's pretty cool that a camp site has that connector... from my memory here in QC/ON we don't have that.
I thought the 30 amp TT-30 was very common, it's at all the provincial campgrounds that have power in AB, BC and SK. Maybe 50A is more common over there? Harder to find a 50A plug at a nice campground here in my experience, usually just the 'RV parks' have those. Lot's of choices though. Even just a regular 15A/120V plug is useful if camping in the same spot for a couple days.
@@TeslaCampingCanada Ontario campgrounds have TT-30 at RV sites but they're usually not right beside the site. It's usually a shared area in between the camp sites so you need long extension cords.
Interesting, I've never seen that in western Canada. I'll have to get a TT-30 extension cord when I make a trip out that way.
Nice video. Shows that you can do a lot with EV. I am just at the beginning of the ev journey and have a plug-in hybrid as my company car, but after driving it for a week, noticed that even consumption on my diesel went down, because of how i drive😁 Will definetly consider full EV as my next car. Greetings from UK🤝🏻
Thanks!
😂
great video!
Thanks!
I’ve also had issues with camp mode when there’s no internet. The car thinks no one is in it because the seat sensors detect no one, so if you hit the wrong HVAC button and deactivate camp mode, the car will turn itself off, including the screen. Then you’ll have to open the door to get the screen to activate and allow you to turn camp mode back on. You’re right that the app should have more features available directly over Bluetooth.
Yes! Thank you! More Bluetooth functionality! It's crazy that even the music controls in the app are through internet and not Bluetooth. It should default to use Bluetooth for all controls if in range, if not then go through the internet. I've had to do the door thing too I think. Also, In the summer I often sleep in the car without using camp mode, so the car is totally asleep.
Did you try to use your phone as an AP and then connect it to car? I use that technique on my robo cleaner since I have unlimited plan and no router, otherwise it won't work.
The phone turning off Bluetooth is good to know!! Because I used camp mode and my boyfriend was able to open the door when it was locked and I was so confused while the door didn't stay locked I honestly felt a little unsafe since that. Since I use camp mode a lot
Ya it wasn't until the first camping trip with my wife that we tested it out and realized how it worked, before that I had been sleeping in an unlocked car I guess, oops!
I suggest taking a defogger with u incase pump stops working that way you can still drive
You can switch the scree to clean mode and it will be black
So cool. How do you find those spots in nature that come with electricity for charging? is there an app you use? thanks
Just the government campground booking website.
The exterior temp reading is lower because the outside temp sensors are able to pick up the heat loss from the outside air that's being pumped into the cabin. you must have been camping on a night with fairly low wind.
You're right, it was very calm that night, so that makes sense with the heat pump making the outside air by the sensor colder. Thanks!
you can also disable the phone as key when you go to your tesla app/security/disable phone key. now you can still use your phone to control something else.
Ya that would work too, add it back in the morning. Just locking from the main screen is probably easier though.
Camp mode keeps the screen and audio systems running. I tend to use 'keep' in the climate control setting. It will let the car lock and turn off everything but the climate control.
Ya that might be the better way to do it, I'll have to try that, thanks!
That's pretty nice the campsite was opened. Did the outlet actually have power? In the US, most, if not all, campsites that have snow and are run by government are closed during the winter. How much is the site with electrical hookup?
Yup, power worked. C$39/night. I think the only government campgrounds open in the winter here are ones with power.
@@TeslaCampingCanadathats pretty expensive
@@justaguyfromreddit Yup, campgrounds have gotten very expensive here. The provincial campgrounds are usually $28 for a basic site, and $36 for powered. This place is a little more expensive, and there are others that are even more. $8 extra for power isn't too bad imo.
You should keep the fan on auto, yes it’s noisier but will use less energy to keep the cabin warm, as with a low fan mode the compressor will run harder to compensate generating more heat as the low fan rate can’t heat the car consistently.
Good to know, I'll try put up with the noise next time and see.
Should i keep fan on auto in summer too? Is it more efficient than just keeping it on AC ?
@@PerformanceY Heat pumps are more efficient when using AC, heating uses more energy.
Hi, love your video, what Tesla model is it?
Thanks, it's a Model Y AWD LR
i always had a weird temperature reading in my Model 3. I would precondition it in the garage for work (which is warmer than outside of course) but it won't register the change in temperature for 15 minutes into the drive and then fog me up all of sudden when it does change to the outside temp. I guess yours is even weirder reading 6 degrees less than actual
Interesting, it was accurate all afternoon and evening until I turned on camp mode, so I wonder if that somehow was causing it?
its one of those things that Tesla does so well on and some things are just weird haha@@TeslaCampingCanada
@@TeslaCampingCanada For what it's worth, I would trust the steady state of the car's temp sensor more than what looks like a cooking oriented analog/mechanical gauge. The gauge is designed to have the probe be at a certain temperature and the dial at roughly room temperature, and the car likely uses an RTD. The RTD is inside of a plastic housing, so this adds a lot of time for it to catch up to large sudden temperature swings, but unless it's damaged or somehow ingested moisture I would bet more money on its calibration being closer to reality in these conditions.
@@dylanmahoney1401 It definitely could be that the car was accurate. I didn't consider it at the time, because I've never noticed that analog thermometer to be wrong before and I check it every morning on my patio. It's not a cooking thermometer, just a regular thermometer from the hardware store that people put outside. I should have put my digital thermometer outside too, I wasn't thinking... oops. Next time!
@@TeslaCampingCanada No worries! I can't say for certain that I'm right, if you use that probe in these conditions and it's accurate every day then maybe the car is wrong! But the good (albeit a little extreme) mindset to have is to never trust just one sensor in isolation :) In industries where measurement accuracy really really matters, engineers will use 3+ sensors (of perhaps varying types) to make it dual fault tolerant, and then take the median value. So another practical way to look at it is the real temperature was somewhere in between the two measurements haha
Nice vid! Where in Canada have you been?
Thanks, just Alberta and BC so far.
Nice vid! Where in Canada have you been? Can you charge for free on this "SUPERcharger"?
Thanks! I've been all over Alberta and BC. Really want to do a trip up to the Yukon, and across Canada when I get the chance. I don't get free charging at superchargers unfortunately.
Is it normal in Canada that you find a charging station in the middle of the forest... ? This is coool! It was a joke with SUPERcharger... I meant the great charging station where you charged 😂 is there charging for free?
@@MartinN_Technik Oh haha, that joke went over my head! :p Yes there are many beautiful campgrounds that have electricity in Canada :) They aren't free, usually you pay C$8-11 more for a camping site with 30A power than a site with no power.
High pitched speed dependent on 2023 LR Y. Above 65mph . Seems like wind whistling. Not The motor whine which is Different and There also.
Sorry, I'm not sure what this comment is in relation to?
nice video and nice car
Thanks!
Where did you get your window covers?
I made them myself from a roll of Reflectix from Home Depot
@@TeslaCampingCanada awesome, I will try this!
The best car, a real ultility vehicle, not some macho truck.
Nice from hindustan south.
For some reason, this just looks fun. Would love to do it in a Cybertruck. I'm sure folks will make a cool bed for the backseat of the Cybertruck.
I can't wait to see people's Cybertruck camping setups!
There is already a video available on YT and it looks like the guy did something wrong and then claimed it was a terrible experience.
Yeah, after this I saw the video from the Whats Inside Guy. I think probably the better setup for the Cybertruck might be as a real basecamp sort of thing. With some sort of tent in the bed with heat/cooling powered via the electrical outlets. However that is something totally different than Camp Mode in a typical Tesla thus far. @@juzoff
its only great when you have electricity around but for people with ICE vehicles you can literaly go everywhere you want all year round! ive seen someone camping in the middle of nowhere in its own built camper on a ford 7.3 l idi 350 i think, its actually fun tbh! having more freedom.
@@alanmay7929 with ICE vehicle you need to run the engine the whole night to stay warm. Not all places to let you idle the whole night. And it also might be dangerous too due to exhaust gases which may enter the cabin and cause poisoning (it happens more often than you may think). You can get a specific diesel heater aka WEBASTO installed though. But that’s not for all vehicles. And again. You need to burn fuel the whole night.
We sell Tesla sensors in our factory
At the very start of the video, 33 minutes and 9% of battery, damn.. i'd better buy hybrid
Sorry.. did I just see a tesla driver charge their tesla without tapping the tail ight first?
Very interesting! But I was surprised at your target sleeping temperature of 20°C. My ideal sleeping temp here in the Netherlands is about 10°C. In the winter my bedroom temp drops to about 4°C, which is fine if you have a good duvet. Just saying.
Yes I did say at one point that 20c was too hot to sleep in, and I wanted about 17-18c, it ended up getting down to 14c which was also fine. 4c in your room during winter, that is impressive!
öow temp to sleep is fine. I would just consider that temps under 10-12 degrees can be very bad for the house since mold loves to grow in those temps. safer to keep it at 12-18. just saying :)
~17 is the sweet spot for me personally.
10° you are putting your body at serious risk
@@eveythingthatsadam Did I mention my eiderdown duvet keeps me warm and cozy?
No lte connection means the car can’t get updated weather info.
That's right, they've removed the external temperature sensor on newer cars haven't they? Mine is old enough it has the sensor. I mean, it knows my garage is -4c when it's actually -30c outside, so it seems to be using the sensor.
Are you using snow tires?
No, unfortunately still just using the stock all-seasons. Definitely don't recommend using those in icy conditions. Lucky I don't have to drive much in winter right now.
I am in the south of China, there is no chance to see so much snow all year round, if you want to see snow, you have to go to the north, thank you for sharing, I will follow you.@@TeslaCampingCanada
Thanks :)
how tall is he?
I'm 175cm
Bro it has camp mode
How many hours of charging did you need in the morning to be able to get home?
I already had more than enough to get home, but I charged for a couple hours anyway while i finished breakfast and packed up. Wanted to actually use some electricity since I paid for the power site lol.
Hold up you just got random chargers laying around with that exact plug in the forest?😭 who’s paying the electricity bill?
It's a campground, so I was paying the electric bill :p
@@TeslaCampingCanada thank you for explaining I was confused as shit 😭🤣🤣
Not too cold?! 🤣
A lot warmer than -38c the weekend before! 😁
Why does this look like a horror movie. Do you get scared?
Nah, the bears are hibernating :p
why does this guy sound like Jared Letto from 30 seconds to Mars?
Wait a minute…tesla should not be functioning in cold weather!
It's a miracle! 🤣
Trusts his $1 thermometer over his 60k tesla.
Haha yes, my trusty old thermometer ;)
*sits in inches of snow and -10 weather* this barely qualifies as winter!!
It felt like spring compared to the -38c the week before ;)
My car is the ideal ONE. It can be used with gas and electricity.
I love channels that show folks camping in their piece of shit cars. Usually it's an old run down van or SUV with banged up doors, but this will do as well.
Get a real car bud
Why u watching his vid 😅😅
@@henrycruz45cal my duramax diesel I can't camp in. It and it'll idle for like a week on a tank of fuel lol
@@serbia991 well the Tesla will do it for 10 days. Did you not watch the vid 🤣. And imagine in summer lol
@DecoD71 have fun with your plug in junk when the grid goes down keep listing to Joe biden and keep.driving your little electric toy
@@henrycruz45cal are you sure about that!? lol!!!! what a lame comment!
