Yes of course, I have it on my to do list to create a review. \- Tentsla Tent [https://tentsla.com](https://tentsla.com) it seems to be the best option for a Model Y tent. If my children were older or even I did not have children I would have opted for a roof tent, but this is great to keep everyone on the same level. Be careful not to over inflate the supports, this is where most people go wrong with these tents. \- Tesla mattress [https://shop.tesla.com/en\_gb/product/model-y-air-mattress](https://shop.tesla.com/en_gb/product/model-y-air-mattress) this was great, very easy to inflate with the provided electric pump, fits perfectly, is quite hard but very supportive. Make sure to also deflate it with the pump to suck all the air out. Make sure to remove the rear bench to get the 100% flat platform with the seats down. I wanted to avoid this but actually it is amazingly easy to do and it makes a big difference. \- Alpicool K18 fridge, review here: https://youtu.be/iVNR264pc-A. Amazing, but it needs a longer 12v extension cable to be able to put it in the frunk while being plugged into the central console 12v outlet. \- Window blinds something like this: [https://amzn.eu/d/4mIs4Un](https://amzn.eu/d/4mIs4Un) \- Table with storage under it [https://amzn.eu/d/amSJVpT](https://amzn.eu/d/amSJVpT) this was great for storing things in. \- Tablet or Nintendo switch mount attached to the glass ceiling: [https://amzn.eu/d/gcVY5d9](https://amzn.eu/d/gcVY5d9)
My brother in law is away with their nearly 2 year old this weekend so I’ll let you know how that goes 😂 Definitely recommended camping in your new model Y though its awesome. We’ve got a full list of all the kit we used in any of our video descriptions, can find our YT channel in our Reddit profile. Everything from the blankets we used to the fridge, mattress etc. Wishing you the very best for your first Model Y camping experience!
Great job on the setup 😎 We did the same thing for our honeymoon, went on a 20 day road trip around Europe camping in our Tesla Model Y for majority of the trip. We used the Tentsla tent as well. My brother in law has purchased the MK Camp one, will be interesting to see the difference between both. Was our first time camping so learned a LOT and even got a lovely £2000 repair bill to replace our glass roof after a little “incident” in a storm in southern Germany 🙈 We’ve documented the whole trip on our YT channel if you want to see what we got up to - https://youtube.com/@thegreenesgowild?si=LHzPMQqjS1jS4iIm
What did you think of the Tesla Mattress? We used the Exped Megamat Auto camping Mattress (Tesla one wasn’t available when we started Tesla camping) I’m curious to know which is best. My brother in law has the Tesla mattress too so I’ll borrow it off him and do a little review of it vs the Exped one but curious to find out how your sleep was on it?
The Tentsla tent is great. It’s fairly quick to setup once you know what you’re doing and if you look after it, I see it lasting. Quite easy to detach from the car too, so you can drive away and leave the tent in place. It’s essentially a normal tent that also so happens to be made to fit the Tesla Model Y. However, their post purchase support is not great. They don’t reply to emails, so if you did ever have an issue I’m not sure it would be resolved. My brother in law has the MKCAMP tent (last time I checked they were sold out) and he loves it. Similar design to the tentsla tent. I’ve seen lots of other tent designs too but in terms of usable space and easy of setup I think the design of the Tentsla or MKCAMP tents are my favourite. Hope that helps and you manage to find something that works for your needs 👍
