I drove out to a windmill just outside Vienna to ride out the heat wave, tried a few things to survive it, and let Camp Mode take over for the night. The result surprised me...

The Tesla Model X only comes as a 6-seater, and because the second row captain chairs don't fold down, sleeping inside has always been a problem. DreamCase just released the first and only product that solves this. I tested the DreamCase 6-Seater Kit on an overnight car camping trip to see if it actually works.
The kit includes a three-part memory foam mattress, suspension bars, a topper, and a special bridge piece that goes between the captain chairs with magnetic legs. It is the only mattress on the market designed specifically for the 6-seater Model X. DreamCase actually told me they were inspired to build this after watching my video where I built a DIY solution with selfie sticks and tape.
I set everything up, cooked dinner at sunset, and spent the night using Tesla Camp Mode. The honest verdict: the mattress and upper body section are very comfortable, but the bridge piece between the captain chairs came loose once during the night because it relies on magnets. Velcro would fix this. Overall, it worked better than I expected, and it is the only real option if you want to sleep in a 6-seater Model X.
What's covered:
- Why the 6-seater Model X is hard to sleep in
- Full unboxing of the DreamCase 6-Seater Kit
- Step-by-step setup with suspension bars and bridge piece
- Moving seats forward and using the "Bedtime" driver profile
- Cooking dinner at a windmill camp spot

I tested it on a full hike from the valley to the peak, through forest trails, snow fields, and rocky terrain. The Model X served as base camp and charging station. The Hypershell has two main modes: Echo Mode at 50% power and Hyper Mode at full 100%. Both got a real test on this climb.

Road trip season is here, so I gave my Tesla Model X a proper summer upgrade — red brake calipers, new summer tires, a blacked-out logo, and a fresh round of bucket list cross-offs on the wrap. Oh, and a long-overdue service visit that came with a bill I wasn't fully prepared for.
The Model X Plaid normally ships with red calipers — but as one of the first owners in Austria, mine didn't. These are cover calipers from Hansshow, and I walked through the full install: rear wheels first (easy), then the front (trickier, more parts, tighter fit). Spoiler: the 20-inch summer rims clear them fine, the 19-inch winter rims do not.
If you own a Model X and still have it under warranty, there's one specific thing I found during the Kfz-Pickerl inspection you should check before the 80,000 km guarantee expires — I cover it in the video.
What's covered:
- Hansshow red brake caliper install on Tesla Model X Plaid (front + rear)
- Summer tire swap from 19-inch winter to 20-inch summer rims
- Rim compatibility check: do 19-inch rims fit with cover calipers? (No.)
- Blacked-out Tesla logo
- Bucket list car wrap touch-up
- Austrian Kfz-Pickerl after 3.5 years and 90,000 km

Three Tesla Model Y air mattresses tested side by side — cheap, mid-range, and premium — to find out which one is actually worth buying for car camping. I tested the Tesla official air mattress, the DreamCase Air, and the Snuuzu bed across every factor that matters.
All three were tested in the 2026 Model Y Long Range rear-wheel drive — the base version with the smaller frunk. I checked frunk storage, setup difficulty, inflation noise, mattress thickness, leveling, comfort, and how well each works if you're tall (I'm 1.92m / 6'4").
If you're deciding which Tesla car camping mattress to buy, this video gives you a real answer based on what actually matters when you're sleeping in the car — not just specs on paper.
What I tested:
- Frunk and trunk storage for each mattress
- Setup process and how easy inflation is
- Pump noise (important for wild camping)
- How well each mattress levels out the uneven Model Y floor
- Mattress thickness and comfort for tall people
- What's included in the box (blankets, pillows, legs, topper)
- Full price comparison: Tesla, DreamCase Air, Snuuzu
00:00 - Intro and what I'm testing
01:00 - Frunk and trunk storage test

Tesla says the Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive does 657 km. At 100% charge, my car showed 558 km. I drove it from Croatia to Vienna at highway speeds to find out what the real world range actually is.
Route: Croatia to Vienna via Slovenia. Total: 547 km. Conditions: highway the entire way at 120-130 km/h, outside temperature 14-15°C, autopilot engaged most of the time. I did two stops — neither for charging. This was a single-charge test from 100% down to as low as it would go.
What this video answers:
- Tesla Model Y Long Range real world highway range
- Why rated range and actual range are so different
- How temperature (14-15°C) affects Tesla range
- What happens when you ignore the supercharger and push it
- Charging strategy for long EV road trips (20-80% rule)
- How the Tesla navigation handles range planning automatically
- Whether autopilot makes highway driving genuinely easier
- Tesla Model Y vs Model X Plaid range comparison
00:00 - The challenge: one charge, 547 km route
00:48 - Leaving Croatia on a full charge
01:01 - Why range anxiety is mostly a non-issue
03:56 - Detour to drop off Dreamcase gear in Ljubljana
05:00 - Mid-route check: 70% battery, 267 km done
08:00 - Stop in Graz, final leg begins

The Snuuzu air mattress for Tesla Model Y claims to be the most comfortable car sleeping solution on the market. After two months of use and a full overnight test in Austria at 2°C, here is my honest review — setup, comfort for tall people, two-person sleeping, and real Camp Mode battery numbers.
I tested this in the Model Y Long Range Rear Wheel Drive. We started Camp Mode at 9:36pm with 7°C outside and woke up at 9am to 2°C — used 8% battery over 11 hours.
If you own a Tesla and you are deciding whether the Snuuzu mattress is worth the price, this video gives you everything you need: the real setup process, how it handles the front leg room gap, whether two people actually fit, and whether Camp Mode holds up in cold weather.
What's covered:
- Snuuzu air mattress full setup in a Tesla Model Y
- Frunk storage test (Model Y Long Range RWD — the smaller frunk)
- Four-layer construction: topper, memory foam, heat foam, inflatable base

Tesla Full Self-Driving has finally been approved in Europe, so I drove to Amsterdam to test it in one of the most difficult cities on the continent. Bikes, trams, narrow streets, pedestrians on phones. Here is how Tesla FSD actually handles real European chaos.
The test was done in a Model Y Premium running FSD V14.2.2.5, the version Tesla got European approval for through the Netherlands. The US is already on V14.3, but this is the first real-world version Europeans can use today. I picked routes through central Amsterdam on a Saturday morning to face cyclists, trams, and tight streets without the worst traffic.
If you are a Tesla owner in Europe wondering whether FSD is worth it, or if you are deciding between a Model Y, Model 3, or Model X, this video shows you what the system can and cannot handle in a complex European city. I disengaged a few times when situations felt sketchy, and I explain exactly why.
Topics covered:
- Tesla FSD V14 first impressions in Europe
- Driving through Amsterdam city center hands-off
- How FSD handles cyclists, trams, and pedestrians
- When I had to take over control and why
- Model Y Premium FSD experience
- Tesla FSD Europe rollout and current version status
- Will unsupervised FSD come to Europe

Tesla FSD just got approved in Europe for the first time — and the Netherlands is where it starts. I borrowed a Tesla Model Y for 48 hours to take it on a real FSD road trip through Amsterdam and then sleep in it overnight in the forest. Here's what actually happened.
I drove a Tesla Model Y on FSD from a forest camp spot onto a dirt road, through the middle of Amsterdam — cyclists, trams, tourists, chaos — then navigated to a supercharger, and finally out to a forest campsite. I covered two full days and two nights, sleeping in the car using the Snuuzu air mattress and running a Starlink Mini off a portable power station for internet on the road.
If you're thinking about FSD in Europe, car camping in a Tesla, or setting up a proper sleep system in a Model Y, this is a real-world 48-hour test — not a parking lot demo.
What this video covers:
- Tesla FSD Europe first impressions vs US autopilot
- FSD on a dirt road, sand paths, and off-road tracks
- FSD navigating Amsterdam with bikes, trams, and pedestrians
- Tesla Model Y supercharger auto-park attempt (honest)
- Snuuzu air mattress setup inside a Model Y
- Camp Mode driver profile for sleeping configuration
- Starlink Mini + portable power station setup for car camping
- Honest verdict: what FSD handles well and where it still struggles

I took the Tesla Model 3 Long Range on a car camping adventure and slept in the car overnight to find out if it is actually possible to sleep comfortably in the smallest Tesla.
At 6 foot 4 (192 cm), I was expecting it to feel tight and cramped, especially in the back of a Model 3. In this video, I test how much space you really have, how I set up the sleeping area, and whether it is enough for taller people.
You will see how I prepared the bed, how the interior space works for sleeping, and how comfortable the night actually felt. I also share my honest experience after spending the night inside and whether the Model 3 is a realistic option for car camping.
With the Tesla Model 3 Long Range, car camping is more accessible while still offering a surprisingly comfortable setup, even if space is limited.
If you have any questions about Tesla car camping, sleeping in a Model 3, Camp Mode, or how it works for tall people, feel free to ask in the comments.

Finding a great place to sleep in your Tesla can be surprisingly difficult. Apps like Park4Night can help, but they rarely lead to truly epic locations. In this video, I show the exact process I use to scout unique Tesla camping spots using Google Maps, Street View, and a bit of patience.
For this road trip I am testing the new Tesla Model 3, because many viewers asked if car camping works well in it. Instead of just showing the final campsite, I walk through the real scouting process step by step so you can use the same strategy on your own road trips.
If you enjoy Tesla road trips, car camping, or just want to know how to find quiet overnight parking spots, this video shows a practical approach that works both in nature and in cities.
Topics covered in this video:
- Using Park4Night as a starting point
- Why many app locations are not ideal
- Scouting locations with Google Maps satellite view
- Checking access with Street View
- What makes a good Tesla camping location
- Alternative overnight spots in cities
- Asking farmers for permission to stay

Tesla has been promising Full Self Driving (FSD) for many years, but in Europe the technology is still heavily restricted. In this video, I finally get the chance to experience a real Tesla Full Self Driving demo ride and see how the system handles complex European streets.
This test takes place in Brno in the Czech Republic, where supervised FSD ride-along demonstrations are possible. We drive through the busy city with trams, pedestrians, narrow lanes, and unpredictable traffic situations. It is a good opportunity to see how Tesla’s system reacts to real world conditions that are often more complicated than typical US roads.
If you are curious about the future of Tesla Full Self Driving in Europe, this video shows what the system can already do today and where human supervision is still important.
Fingers crossed that the RDW approves FSD soon so I can use it in my own Model X 🤞🏻

I am testing a brand new car camping mattress in my Tesla Model X Plaid during a winter road trip. I show you how I set up the car for winter camping and what you need to know about sleeping comfortably in the snow.
For this trip, I removed one of the second row captain's chairs in my six seater Model X Plaid to create enough room for a flat bed. I found a hidden parking spot near a castle in the snow and tested how well a mattress designed for the Model Y fits in the wider Model X. The temperature dropped to minus 3 degrees Celsius overnight.
If you are wondering how much battery Camp Mode uses in freezing temperatures or if you can comfortably sleep in a modified six seater Model X, this video answers those questions. It is a practical look at real world winter car camping.

In my past 14 years of car camping, I have often been in big cities where I needed to find a good place to stay overnight in my car. In this video, I talk about the best sleeping options in a city environment and set up my custom camping setup inside my Tesla Model X Plaid.
This was filmed just outside Vienna and then continued inside the city. The car is a Tesla Model X Plaid with a modified interior to make sleeping possible. Since the 6-seat configuration does not allow the seats to fold flat, I removed one seat and built a custom platform for sleeping.
If you are thinking about car camping in a Tesla, especially in urban areas, this video shows what works, what does not, and what you need to consider. It answers questions about space, comfort, and practicality when using a Model X for overnight stays.

I tested Tesla Autopilot and Full Self Driving capability in Europe to see how well it actually works in real driving. Many people hear about Tesla driving itself, but the real experience can be very different depending on where you live.
This test was filmed in February 2026 in Vienna, Austria using a Tesla Model X Plaid with Hardware 3. I drove on highways, city roads, curves, exits, and parking areas to see what the system can realistically handle.
This video is for anyone considering buying Full Self Driving or Enhanced Autopilot in Europe, or anyone curious how Tesla automation compares to what you see in US videos. It answers whether it is worth paying for and what it can really do today.

In this video, I test what it is really like to sleep overnight in a Tesla Model Y Performance and compare it to the Model Y Standard. This is a real overnight test, not a quick setup demo, focused on comfort, space, and practicality.
The test is done during an actual night inside the car, using Camp Mode and a simple car camping setup. I talk through storage space, bed preparation, interior differences, and how the Performance version compares to the cheaper Standard version for sleeping.
This video is for anyone considering sleeping in their Tesla, planning road trips, or deciding between the Model Y Performance and Standard. It answers whether the Performance model is still practical for car camping and overnight stays.
Topics covered:
► Model Y Performance vs Standard interior differences
► Storage space for sleeping in the car
► Bed setup in the Model Y
► Camp Mode comfort overnight
► Sleeping position and space
► Morning experience after sleeping inside

I took the Tesla Model Y Standard on a real winter car camping adventure. I slept in the car overnight at minus 10 degrees Celsius with snow all around, making this a proper cold-weather test.
I show how comfortable car camping in the Model Y really is, even in winter. You will see the storage space, how I prepared the bed and how Camp Mode performs in freezing temperatures. I also share how the night actually felt and how well the car handled the cold.
With the Tesla Model Y Standard, car camping becomes more affordable while still offering a high level of comfort, even in extreme weather conditions.
Huge thanks to Tesla Austria for providing a Model Y for the weekend.

In order to sleep comfortably in my 6-seater 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid, I removed the second-row captain’s chairs. Unlike the 5 or 7-seater versions, the 6-seater’s second-row seats don’t fold down, which makes car camping more difficult.
I searched for tutorials on how to remove the seats but couldn’t find anything useful, so I decided to make my own! This video shows exactly how I removed the seat and converted my Model X into a cozy camper van.
Hopefully, it helps and inspires you to try car camping or start your own Tesla van life adventure!

One of the most exciting adventure with my own Model X Plaid. After not being prepared enough in 2019, I had to come back with more knowledge and more gear! Especially spare tires!!!
Those off-road routes in the Western Alps along the boarder of Italy and France are the old military roads from world war 1 and belong to the last legal off-road routes in Europe.

The TUES Bucket List app allows you to share your goals and dreams with the world. By doing that, others can offer you help and even join you. So you can go after your dreams with like-minded people together as a team.
You'll get many benefits by donating to the crowdfunding:
- Access to the Bucket List Course
- Early BETA Access
- Your name on Joel's Tesla
- TUES T-Shirt
- 1 on 1 calls with the team
- Special Backer Badge on TUES
- and more...
Wanna see more bucket list adventures? Check out my Instagram and TikTok - @Joel_Eggimann
I'm so excited to work on this project as a community with all of you and I can't wait to help more people with their Bucket List!
There are bucket list goals that are hard to achieve on your own. That's why it's important to share with others what you want to do so you can connect with like-minded people and do it together.
This is what I did with two other guys that had on their bucket list "building a zipline". After some planning we organised everything, told our friends and built a 70 meter long zipline over the Ottensteiner Stausee in Austria.

Want to give you a little tour of how I sleep in my 2023 Tesla Model X Plaid so I hopefully can inspire you to sleep in your car as well. Unfortunately Tesla only sells the Plaid as a 6-seater configuration and not as in the 5 or 7 seater you can't fold down the second row which meant that I had to improvise by removing one of the second row seats.
But now I turned this car into an amazing Tesla camper van that perfectly sleeps two people and still fits 5 passengers (incl. driver).
Hope this helps and inspires you to go car camping as well!
The website I use to find camping locations is called Park4Night
