Can you live in an electric car?
I recently set out to test whether it’s possible to survive on a remote island using only a car – specifically, the new Tesla Model Y. I packed some basic supplies and headed to the coast, where I plugged into camp mode and spent 24 hours inside.
As I settled in for the night, I was initially skeptical about the idea of living in an electric car. The Model Y’s interior is sleek and well-appointed, but it’s hardly designed with long-term habitation in mind. There are no beds, no kitchen facilities, and not even a toilet (although there is a fancy sound system).
Despite these limitations, I was determined to make the most of my island getaway. I spent the evening exploring the car’s features, including its impressive touchscreen display and comfortable seating.
I also made good use of the car’s storage space – or “frunk” as Tesla calls it – which proved surprisingly useful for stashing snacks and a change of clothes.
But as the night wore on, I began to feel the limitations of my makeshift home. The lack of natural light and ventilation was starting to get to me, and the constant hum of the car’s systems made it difficult to relax.
I did manage to squeeze in a few hours of Netflix-watching (the Model Y has an impressive entertainment system), but I soon realized that living in a car is not as simple as just plugging it into “camp mode”.
As the 24-hour mark approached, I was starting to feel like Goldilocks – this car was too hot and uncomfortable; that corner of the seat was too lumpy. By the end of my stay, I was more than ready to return to solid ground.
In conclusion, while the Tesla Model Y is an impressive feat of engineering, it’s not designed for long-term human habitation. If you’re looking for a car to survive in, keep looking – at least, without some serious modification and equipment additions.
However, if you’re just looking for a luxurious way to spend 24 hours on a remote island with a decent Wi-Fi connection, the Model Y won’t disappoint.
