Tesla Camper Y

TESLA CAMPER Y 4X4

TRULY GREEN CAMPING IN ICELAND

Tesla Camper Y 4X4

0-2 Year-Old Tesla

2023 Tesla Model Y.

The Tesla Camper Y 4×4 offers a brilliant way to explore one of the most eco-friendly countries on the planet. Iceland is powered by renewables alone, with abundant geothermal and hydroelectric power, making the electricity here exceptionally cheap. There are a few better ways to make your environmental footprint smaller than driving a Tesla in Iceland.
Most campsites in Iceland now offer electricity and cooking facilities, allowing you to travel lighter without a built-in kitchen and running water. Therefore we focused on utilizing the space for a custom-built, thick, and large mattress, good storage, and we went with an 3.75 gallon / 14 L fridge, skipping over the built-in kitchen but providing everything you need to comfortably cook using the campsite facilities.

Tesla Camping Mode

The Tesla Camping Mode feature lets you turn your vehicle into a warm and ventilated cabin where you can comfortably sleep. When activating the Camping Mode, you get a fireplace ambiance on the screen, light music, the lighting dims, and the vehicle regulates the humidity and temperature.

When testing, we were pleasantly surprised by how quietly the heating ran and how little it drained the battery (less than 10%.)

Long Range

The Long Range version of the Tesla Y is ideal for your road trip in Iceland. You can travel up to 533 km on a full charge, giving you the maximum possible range a Tesla Model Y can offer.

There are no areas in Iceland where the next charger is more than 200 km away. We even have charging stations in the highland tundra!

The Expert At

Safety

5-Star Rating and Best in Class Safety Model Y achieved a 2022 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating and won the Best in Class award in the Small Off-Road category.

360° View

Rear, side and forward-facing cameras provide maximum visibility. Powerful visual processing at up to 250 meters of range. Tesla Vision detects nearby cars, helps prevent potential collisions and assists with parking.

Autopilot

Autopilot’s advanced safety and convenience features are designed to assist you with the most burdensome parts of driving.

Travel costs: electricity vs. fuel

Petrol and Diesel have become prohibitively expensive. Electricity is friendly not only for the environment but also for your wallet, especially in Iceland. Below we compare the running cost of a Tesla and a traditional combustion engine camper.

Ten days of travel, with an average of 300km a day.

	Tesla Camper Y 4×4	Avarage CampEasy Camper
Daily usage	26,1 kWh	30 L
Unit cost	50 ISK / kWh (fast charging)	315 ISK / L
Daily cost	1305 ISK	9450 ISK
Overall cost	13050 ISK	94500 ISK

Savings: 81450 ISK

It’s easy to see that you can save a lot of money by choosing Tesla Camper Y 4×4.

Where can I charge my Tesla Camper 4×4?

It is necessary to have a smart device with you, either a tablet or a phone, to download and access the Tesla app when renting a Tesla Camper 4×4.

Iceland has a lot of charging stations now. The government strongly incentivizes new infrastructure, resulting in rapid growth.

There is only one highway in Iceland, which runs in a circle, making it almost impossible to plan a route that doesn’t include charging options.

The PlugShare website is one of many tools/websites where you can get a complete overview of the charging options around Iceland.

We also recommend you install the e1 – eONE EV Charging app, which gives you access to all the charging stations, regardless of the operator. Downloading N1 and ON APPID apps can be helpful too.

Campsites with electricity and cooking facilities

The Tesla camper comes with a standard wall socket charger. When you arrive at a campground, you can request access to electricity and plug in the car. Most of the campsites in Iceland offer electricity for a small fee.

Tesla’s Camp Mode is efficient and will drain around 10% of your battery overnight. If you plug in your camper, you can reverse that drain and turn it into a gain of about 15%. We like to make things Easy, so we made a map of all the campsites in Iceland that offer electricity:

Tesla Superchargers in Iceland

Finally, there are eight supercharging stations around Iceland to recharge your Camper at super speeds. Approximately 241km in 15 minutes. We recommend making these destinations a part of your route. It’s an astounding time saver. The charging stations are all open 24/7. We recommend regular stops and not running your camper below 30% at any point—no need to create stress.

The Tesla Superchargers can only be used with the Tesla App. You must download the app and open an account. Without this, you cannot use the Tesla Superchargers.

Camp in comfort

We add to our Tesla a fantastic window blind system unlike any other ever made. Window blinds become an extension of the interior of your Tesla, and they are a solid cassette design for thermal insulation – foldable & compact. The outside ballistic nylon fabric in black gives excellent privacy to allow you to camp anywhere incognito, while the interior of the Tesla contains a bright & cozy atmosphere with a sense of spaciousness.

The window blinds can be installed in just a few minutes, and the magnetic lock system makes it such that all side doors can be attached while standing outside the Tesla. The front and the rear window has magnets with extra pads that hold them in place through the glass. In the back window, a movie theater adjustable iPad holder can be used with any size screen. The whole set folds together into the front blind, which becomes a storage bag.

Kitchen Inventory

Tesla Campers are a little bit different than our Easy Camper lineup. As it’s a regular car (not a van), there is no space for cooking inside. But don’t worry, many campsites in Iceland have cooking facilities where you can cook your food. That’s why we provide everything you need for cooking: plates, cups, cutlery, stoves, etc.

Please check our map to ensure the campsite you plan to stay at has cooking facilities.

“We had a wonderful experience renting a camping Tesla Model Y with Campeasy. We had all the cables we needed included for the different chargers, and found charging very easy in Iceland. At some campgrounds we could top off while we slept! It felt great not to have to deal with fuel and the extra costs. Karolina gave us all the details at check in, and led us to a large bank of fast chargers not on our map, before check out. We couldn’t get over how comfortable the Tesla was to drive and the campeasy bed and window shades were excellent!”
