A Tesla owner took his Model S camping on a 19-day road trip and slept in it nearly every night

David Craig says all he needs to do is recline his seat, grab a pillow, and put the car in Camp Mode.Though, Craig said he initially bought a mattress and used a sleeping bag to sleep in the back of the car, but he found it to be too claustrophobic and preferred sleeping in the front seat instead, which he called as"comfortable as a La-Z Boy."

"With a traditional car you'd have to turn it off, it would get cold and you have to turn it back on," Craig said."In my Tesla, the temperature stays perfect and I'm comfortable all night long." During his 19-day trip, which took him to a wide variety of states, including Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, and Kentucky, Craig said he drove between six to 10 and-a-half hours a day without range anxiety, stopping for about 20 to 30 minutes toDavid Craig said his Model S allowed him to check visiting several states off his bucket list without range anxiety.said he felt safe parking near Tesla Supercharging locations because of the 24/7 activity at the locations.

Of course, not everyone sees the appeal of sleeping in a car, but on the bright side, Tesla charging stations are also often located near truck stops where owners like Craig can take a shower or do laundry. Craig said he doesn't park at the charging stalls when he goes to sleep, but near enough that it looks like his car is charging.
