Tesla car camping, start to finish.

Everything a first-timer needs: how Camp Mode works, what it does to your battery, what to pack beyond the mattress, and which mattress to start with for your model.

The short answer

Every Tesla supports overnight sleeping via Camp Mode (climate + power stay on, ~8–12% battery per night). Fold the rear seats flat, add a mattress, and add window covers. Start with the Snuuzu Model Y or, on a budget, the Tesla OEM.
