I’ve slept in my Tesla multiple times. Be sure to have your windows slightly cracked for ventilation—if you’re not using ‘Camp Mode’, of course!
That’s a great tip! I’d also suggest checking your battery levels beforehand, especially if you plan to use climate control features for long periods.
If you’re worried about battery use, consider only running climate control for a portion of the night. You’ve got plenty of time for rest!
Great suggestion! Also, check the weather before sleeping in your car. You might not need climate control if the weather is mild.
And don’t forget your personal safety! Always keep your phone charged and have emergency contacts on speed dial. It never hurts to be prepared.
Right! Also, maybe keep a flashlight handy and park near amenities like gas stations or rest areas. Makes it easier to feel secure!

Sleeping in your Tesla can feel like an adventure. Just don’t wake up thinking you’ve driven somewhere—you might scare yourself!
Haha! That’s true! Just make sure your car is in park to avoid any accidental cranking!
Reflecting on my experiences, I believe it’s essential to practice getting in and out of ‘Camp Mode’ during the day, to become familiar with the settings.
Thanks for sharing your insights, everyone! This thread has been really informative. Can’t wait to try out all these tips on my next road trip in my Model 3!
For a comfortable sleep, consider parking at designated rest areas. They’re often well-lit and regularly monitored, providing a sense of safety. Some states even permit overnight stays at highway rest stops.
I completely agree! I’ve found that some campgrounds allow Tesla parking overnight, which offers both security and amenities like showers.
If you’re in an urban area, look for neighborhoods with little traffic and tree cover. Just ensure you check local parking laws to avoid getting towed!
Also, choosing spots near police stations can add an extra layer of security. Plus, it’s good to have your windows slightly cracked for ventilation!

Camping apps like Campendium can help you find safe campgrounds or free spots that allow overnight stays.
Those apps are lifesavers! But does anyone have tips for dealing with noise in busy areas when trying to sleep?
One trick is to use white noise apps or earplugs. They can really help drown out city sounds while you catch some Z’s!

Also, try sleeping with the seats reclined for more comfort. Just be mindful of your positioning to maintain a low profile.
Haha, yes! Nothing like waking up to an awkward stare from a passerby.
And remember to check your surroundings before dozing off. Look for security cameras and well-lit areas to park for peace of mind.
