What is the function of Model 3's Camping Mode?

Model 3's Camping Mode allows the air conditioning to remain continuously on while the vehicle is parked, maintaining temperature or providing ventilation. Additional information: The Tesla Model 3 is a new addition to the Tesla Model X series, officially launched in the United States on April 1, 2016, at 11:30 AM Beijing time. The Model 3 does not use an aluminum body, so its size is reduced by 20% to offset the impact of increased weight on range. The Model 3 has an estimated range of approximately 320 kilometers. On June 5, 2018, Tesla upgraded the Model 3, improving driving comfort. The company not only enhanced the vehicle's suspension system but also upgraded the rear seat configuration.

Our family loves using Camp Mode during long-distance road trips in our Model 3. This brilliant feature keeps the air conditioning running to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature. When it's too hot to sleep in a tent during summer nights, we simply retreat to the car, set the AC to 22°C, snuggle under blankets, and sleep soundly. The central touchscreen can play white noise while our phones charge wirelessly all night without losing power, and the trunk's cooler keeps our food fresh with continuous power supply. Last time when we got stranded at a service area during heavy rain, all four of us slept comfortably in the car overnight - saving hotel costs while feeling completely secure. Pro tip: charge your battery above 80% before camping, and remember to turn off headlights to prevent excessive power drain.

I tried camping in the suburbs with a tent over the weekend, and the Model 3's Camp Mode completely changed the game. With the air conditioning system running continuously after locking the car at night, combined with the sunshade, I could sleep soundly inside. When I woke up to the sunlight around 5 a.m., I found the battery had only dropped by 15%, which was more efficient than I expected. At that point, I turned on the screen to follow a yoga tutorial and brewed coffee with hot water from my thermos. By the time my companions emerged shivering from their tents, I had already finished my morning workout. The most impressive aspect of Camp Mode is that all the car's electrical appliances function normally—even using an induction cooker for a hot pot meal is no problem.

Located in the north, I tested the overnight camping mode in winter at -10°C. Preheated the cabin to 26°C three hours in advance, and couldn't feel any cold in the sleeping bag. Worth mentioning is the hidden convenience: the windows automatically defog, remaining clear even when ice forms outside. Overnight power consumption was about 18%, much cheaper than home floor heating. Once while camping with only 30% battery left, the system automatically switched to power-saving mode and displayed a pop-up with remaining usable time, ensuring peace of mind. Recommend bringing an inflatable mattress—with the rear seats folded down, there's ample space for two people to sleep comfortably.
