- Here are some tips and tricks I use to do a stealth car camp anywhere I go. I have done some trial and errors and improved it greatly since my first run. From temperature settings, the airflow rate, flat sleeping surface, privacy, security, I got it all covered here.

The knife simulation is the reason I love this guy 😂😂 priceless
That is entertaining to watch 😆
Lol didn't expect that shit
Exactly. Too ridiculously watch. Can’t stop laughing.
You’re the reason I watched, lol. This guy is true to himself.
Hes having so much fun, guys a certified beauty 😆
You're right Francis, I can feel the excitement and creativity flowing as you we're recording this. Screw the CZcams algorithm, make what you love, live within your means, hang around the people you love. You'll be happy overall, that's what I'm realizing myself.
It’s really stealthy and based on personal biases, you wouldn’t think someone would be sleeping in a Tesla. Which adds an extra level of stealth
Thanks for the laughs hahaha don't come near me with that knife!
I wouldn't demo it with a cameraman.
You should always have a very powerful led beam, will certainly annoy a predator ᕦʕ •ᴥ•ʔᕤ
You are treating the situation in a less than efficient manner. And stressing out about it too much.
Take it from someone who grew up living in a bus needing to find a place to park and sleep every night... this is how you go about finding a place.
1. Do not cruise around residential neighborhoods looking for a dark place to park. This looks suspicious and draws attention.
2. Find a well lit parking lot at 24 hour store, like a Walmart, etc.
3. Walk into the Walmart and ask the manager if it is OK with them if you park overnight in the corner of the lot? Tell them you will be happy to pick up/clean part of the lot, you will not be a nuisance, and will be gone by a certain time of the day. 9 times out of 10 they will be cool about it, and if you are rousted by the police, you can inform them that you have permission.
4. Act like you belong somewhere. If you are confident, you will be less likely to be questioned.
In the case of a Tesla, you have an immense advantage over sleeping in a regular beat up car, or a bus/camper... it is a freaking Tesla. No one associates a Tesla with shady people, or the homeless... even in the Bay Area.
In your case, same rules apply as above, but with added perks.
1. You can park at a slow charge destination charger, and trickle charge overnight and claim that you are charging and taking a nap.
2. If you park overnight at places like CVS etc that have 120V outlets on the light posts, you can charge at 4 mph while you sleep, or a bit more at a charge point station.
3. You can park at many superchargers overnight, and no one cares if you are not on the supercharger.
Again, no one looks twice at a Tesla parked anywhere but a ghetto.
Basically, always ask permission, and you will be fine.
Yes they do care at supercharger stations. Many of them have security guards patrolling 24/7.
I learned more about self defence from watching this video than I have watching Active Self Protection
"I'm scared of myself, I guess." --> a quote for the ages.🤣
Love this random content hahah
=D =D
I can't wait for more self defense videos. Best thing I've seen all week.
Dude, I grew up living in a bus. 24 hour grocery stores are about the safest place you can camp at. They have security, cameras, patrols and traffic.
24 hour grocery stores don't exist where I live anymore. Something he left out was going to the bathroom.
Covid changed all the 24 hour grocery stores :(
Now THERE Is some passionate content! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. I enjoyed watching this!
I tried this for the first time and I liked it! I think I used up about 30 miles in my model 3 to keep the climate on and it must have been about 40 F (5 C) outside over night. I used some window shades like the ones mentioned in this video, which I got on amazon and I just put down a very thick down comforter and slept on that with a sleeping bag. That was a little bit too cold but fixed the problem in the middle of the night by blowing up one of those thin inflatable therm-a-rest camping sleeping mats. I had a regular pillow and a tempur-pedic and I actually slept pretty well.
I read that you can sleep in a park-and-ride lot overnight so that's what I found. Check your state regulations. You can also read up on camping out in a service station based on my research and I might try something like that next time. This was a really cool and fun experience and it is exciting to not shell out $150 to $250 bucks per night; If someone offers to pay you that much money to sleep in a Tesla for a night and the answer is yes, then YES, you should try this. I love my Tesla so much more now.
If you have old weak man bladders like I do, you might want to think ahead of time about what you feel comfortable doing :-)
Next time I'm going to buy some extra shades to also block out the light from the top two panes of glass.
It sounds like the early retirement and money savings tips are progressing towards ways to be homeless.
It's funny how things converge at the extremes. Do we really need money to be happy?
@@grugnotice7746 Yes.
"big googly eyes." Can someone plz meme this?
That knife bit was everything 😂
Hey Francis. I love the idea of sleeping in your car. My fiance and I slept in the back of a jetta wagon on our vacation for one night. We have dark window tint on the back window (5% film) and ligter tint on the front two windows (20% film) . My tint job cost less than $300. With the dark windows and a sun screen in the windshield no one could see in at all. We have the weathertech window visors. we left those cracked to let in fresh air. The back of the wagon had plenty of space for the two of us to lay and sit up. We had a foam matrass topper to lay on in the back. Quite cozy! If I was a single man I could honestly sleep there every night. Walmart lets us sleep in the parking lot. No issues at all. I like the window tint much better than the window covering. With california you are allowed to have as dark tint as you want on the back half of your car, and like you said you can see out of the tint just fine.
I did stealth camping several times with my wife. It does take some time to drive around and scout for that perfect spot. I parked once at a busy intersection, work up so many times because of cars speeding by in the middle of the night.
Also, having a jackery is nice. Those can charge your laptop.
Great video, love the attention to detail.
Thank you! Cheers!
You should make a video on how to travel overseas for newbies, a complete rundown for people who don't know how to travel like in Japan. Where to shop for tickets, what happens in the airport, how much cash to bring, where to exchange money, etc. It can be part of a series. I am sure you will enjoy making it, and people will like to watch.
Ahh ....i have had a van ever since i started driving & i ve stayed in my vans for over 50 yrs when at my art shows for a week end til i get back home ... one can stealth park if they are streetwise .... being able to have room to really take care of my self when my van is unloaded for my shows is an art all by it self .... im self contained with out built in typical camper fixtures .... you make your own to fit exactly your needs .... i can cook & clean up ... i stretch out my wery bones after standing 16 hrs a day if your show goes into the nite .... i have always had a van as a plan B in case i loose my house .... id love to see you travel in a nice not to flashy van , its a great freedom ..... im in my 70s now & i still do art shows .... but when i take time off for my self i like to park at the ocean & listen to the waves .....
Great video bougy stealth camping!!! Plus crazy funny knife fighting tips!! 🤣
Great video, thank you, man. Liked and subscribed
Had to thumbs up after the crazy knife part. Bravo
Recent thumbnails are wild. Love it.
this is literally the hardest i have laughed in a long time. love your videos!
XD XD. I'm glad you had a good laugh. Not sure what I did was funny in there though.
i've slept in my rav4 before while on long road trips - quiet office parking lots away from busy streets with other vehicles already parked, apartment complexes off the main roads with limited traffic, and side parking at walmart in slower areas work pretty well. sometimes i'll camp in the parking lot of a motel if there are already a lot of vehicles so yours won't stand out - motels inside a city may require some kind of note/tag. i'll sleep at a truck stop if necessary, but they tend to be noisy and very bright. it works best to already have window tinting. i use a klymit blow up sleeping pad and the alvantor popup privacy tent, which i hang with bungee cords. the tent helps to cut out a lot of distracting light and looks like total blackness, especially with some tinting already installed
New subscriber. I think this video is genius. I love how you are so true to yourself.
Thanks! I do like figuring out how to sleep in the car. =D
@@BeatTheBush your channel is my inspiration, a mix of finance and a mix of everything else that is random but still useful for people to know :-)
Great video
successful guy with rigorous prestigious stem degree looking for car sleep overnight. i love the dichotomy why not attitude.
Hahaha the knife part in this video. Lols. Love the new content.
Oh, I remember the first time you did this in your old car, and I was thinking about how much better it would be for you in a Tesla. I only just started watching, so this should be interesting.
Dude, like you a lot, this one is out there, especially with the knife
I have to rethink early retirement after watching this video...
BTB has been invaluable to me, my goal also used to be early retirement
Exactly all the thoughts I go through lol. This was fun
When you were waving that knife around I felt like you were slashing the youtube algorithm 😜
This is my new favorite CZcams video. I came here to learn how to sleep in my M3 and learned some of the most valuable self defense tactics I’ve ever seen
Hell of a video
Well thought out! As for the slight angle, that's ok and even desirable. Look up Inclined Bed Therapy, where you raise the head of the bed a few degrees, about 6". It is very health promoting, and comfortable, like you are resting on the slope of a beach.
good video
This was awesome and I'd totally camp in a Tesla on a road trip or w/e
It's not trivial. I wish they put the settings of not circulate as camp mode. Also reduce the fan speed to minimize noise.
Has a 70 grand car, doesn't want to pay for sleeping. Sounds like me. For example I don't think I've paid 5 times for parking in my whole life. It's not like I can't walk for 10 minutes.
70 grand? Seems a bit much for a model 3
I love the new thumbnails.
Thank you!
If you learn the skill of sleeping 2 hours at a time in the driver seat, you can just drive, then park at charging place, sleep there a couple of hours, then keep going.
I did 24 hours trip denver to sf that way, sleeping for 3 hours in salt lake rest area.
BTB, its good to see you today. You look much better than yesterday.
Probably because I'm in line with this content.
I love this guy 😂
imagine driving by and seeing him waving that knife around
murderous bad guy driving by: "yikes, that guy is crazy, I better keep driving"
legend
for where to sleep at night, find a gated apartment homes, look up the available vacant units so you get an idea of how the addresses work. for example, i work as a security guard at a gated apartments, literally anyone can come to the gatehouse and say their here to pick up their friend at 30-128, 30 being the building number and 128 being the unit number, and we open the gate up, you can park at the end of the parking garages and sleep or park outside on the street. either way, you park in a safe place
The knife segment was hilarious 😂
That is a great idea. When I am homeless I am going to start sleeping in Tesla.
You could consider your car the Tesla Hotel, kind of like those micro-pod sleeping tubes in Japan.
@@chidude that is so true! The capsule hotels.
@@itsjohnnyho Ah, thanks; I forgot what those tiny hotels were called.
You have started a nice channel - very level-headed advice and a great camera presence; I love your accent! Subscribed :-)
@@chidude Thank you so much for your support and compliments :)
What Accent? HAHAHAHA
thanks!
Crazy knife guy trespassing! Lol
Don't mess with me! Let me sleep!
Place the small,harder pillow between your knees when you sleep on your side. Changes the angle of how your hip bone joint and thigh bones rest. You'll like it!
I think I'd get some Reflectix and make custom window shades for most of the windows, otherwise, street lights and parking lots lights would be too bright. WeatherTech makes some full car sunshades but not for the Tesla yet.
also keep some high illumination LED flashlights around
How much would it be to tint the windows so you don't need to mess with the sheet thing?
Lol
Imagine a Tesla owner showing you how to save $70 airbnb. Love your channel 👍 I remember the one you made for your BMW and the electric fan 😂
I love being able to use my Hotel Prius. When I need a nap, I crawl in the back and snooze with the dog. So comfy!
But I hope some day I will buy a used Tesla...
I told you, you are intriguing
Those tips are CRITICAL to sleeping well in a car. =D
Just to add to the video, truck stops are usually a safe choice as well! Some are better than others though so use discretion when selecting one to sleep at.
Lol love that knife drill you got there...😅😜🙌
10:41 "go and do a hit and run" 😂😂😂 is this why beat the bush needs his knife🤔🤔🤔
Great tip on leveling out the bed. I slept in my M3 last night for the first time and was pretty uncomfortable since my body was being bent and I was sleeping on an incline. I knew about this from watching another video but didn't think I'd be that affected by it that much. Boy was I wrong. I ended up placing something at the end of my single person blow-up mattress to help a little bit, but leveling out with foam would have definitely helped. My guess is that you'd want several foam pads (which I think is what you have going on in your video) so that you can adjust accordingly based upon the pitch your car is parked. What inch foam are you using and where did you get it? It looks like packing foam, not bed memory foam, so I'm guessing (hoping) it's cheaper.
The other great tip you had that I could have used last night was turning on screen cleaning mode...I never knew which screen was going to show after returning to my car (after using the bathroom). Sometimes the campfire video would show, sometimes the settings screen would show up, it seemed pretty inconsistent and annoying (would have to wait what seemed like 5-10 minutes for the screen to go to sleep). I didn't know how to black out the screen but now I do. Thank you.
I also wish the Tesla app could communicate via bluetooth for when LTE coverage isn't a thing...like what I experienced camping in a state park last night. Having to climb over and stretch to hit the screen for every adjustment was pretty annoying. Maybe I need to buy a wooden dowel and capacitive rubber to attach at the end for now.
The foam is in multiple 3/4" layers I got from packaging. It's medium density so it wont squash easily. And the multiple pieces is to adjust for the slant of the seats. It's smallest at the bottom, then next layer is about 4 inches longer. Then next layer is another 4 inches longer. Incline is not taken into account assume you can just find a flat area to park.
@@BeatTheBush awesome, thanks for the reply and happy (and safe) travels!
p.s. for those wondering about showering, I suppose you could get a $20/mo planet fitness "black card" membership as they have a lot of locations. Not sure what BeatTheBush recommends though 😁
If you want to sleep in the car on a long road trip to save money, where do you store your bagage while your bagage compartment is serving as a bedroom ?
This guy is actually a G
We have 24 hour fitness clubs where you can use water fountain, shower, bathroom, locker and of course gym equipment. It’s perfect if you want to sleep in the car but need access to water.
The membership used to be really cheap, but the price went up significantly after the pandemic.
Part 2 video after 3 years experience? TY
Does the Tesla have good range ?
Great thumbnail lol!
Your thumbnails always kill me 😂 *_*adds to watch later_*
LOL. No Tesla in the thumbnail but it's about Tesla Car Camping. No car even, just my crazy face.
Very nice setup. My only issue would be night time toilet
Maybe a bottle if it's too cold outside. Or try not to go to the toilet by not drinking too much water right before bed.
First video I watched where someone actually realized the importance of protecting themselves! Respect the knife in the door, never know what can happen but better to be prepared.
The Model Y makes for a comfy camper, even for someone who is 6'2'' like myself.
ME: Hey! Emails are pretty calm today. Did you go camping?
BTB: [this video]
XD XD
My wife and I have done quite a bit of camping in our model 3. State campgrounds are great places to camp- for $30-40 you also can get a full charge overnight. I made a full set of reflectix screens. Also FYI, the screen clean goes away after a while, but the latest update shuts off the campfire video after a while on its own.
Ohhhh. I suppose I had it on camp mode but manual settings. Gotta double check next time.
Stealth sleeping is fun, also if you don't want to sleep in a residential neighborhood but want to stealth sleep try truck stops. It might seem janky but the protection there is high due to drivers not wanting bad guys around the trucks. Down side is the noise levels around these areas.
then why is there truck lizards?!
Legend has it, BTB drove around for 3 hours found the best spot to stealth camp inside his garage
LOL you really got into the knife
No amount of money can completely fix boredom. Sometimes you need an adventure. Going somewhere you haven't been can be healthy when you feel stifled. The trip needn't be extravagant. You can still save money.
That veil thing would be awesome with magnets sewn in it.
That knife scene?? I’m crying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
XD XD
Like the tints! Haha free hotel now
Well... free hotel but no shower or bathroom. Make it as like a hotel as much as possible.
I’m soooo doing this
Will you get a Cybertruck?
You might want to try a Wal-Mart parking lot, they can be decent. Plus they have bathrooms and you can grab food if you want.
5'6" sleep on driver's side with seat forward.
5'8" sit on passenger's side, but side up towards trunk
6'3" rip the seats out.
i'm 6'6 and i fit in the back pretty well. there was a gap between the folded rear seats and the front seats that had to be pushed all the way up, so if i can get something to place in that gap then i'd be able to fit just fine.
this was when i was test driving one, i can't afford a tesla unfortunately lol
This is exactly the content I’ve been searching for! I’m road-tripping soon in my M3. I have the TESMAT & privacy screen and was thinking I could just stay in mid-range hotel parking lots since they are not patrolled. I’m traveling solo and was thinking Walmart/Pilot/Cracker Barrel lots would be less secure. I had also thought about nice residential neighborhoods. Now .. about the 🔪. Any branding links? 😝
Going back on that I now think mace would work best better than knives.
Not sure if I have the elevation foam in this video but you need this in the trunk area to make it completely flat for better sleep.
Some good advice on saving $ and convenient especially if you go to high popular events and hard to get accommodation, also like the way you transpose yourself in the shoes of the neighborhood people and how they would react in the situations 😹
Bush beater hunny are you a stealthy ninja
I don’t want to use my battery at all while I’m sleeping. Moreover, I know that Teslas automatically close all its windows when they are locked. Hence this question is for a Tesla Model Y. Is it possible to leave some of the windows say an inch down while my car is locked because I like to sleep in my car with the windows one inch or half an inch down because I actually enjoy sleeping in a somewhat cool environment and I breathe much better too. I simply do not want to use my AC or fan at all while I’m sleeping in my car. If this is possible (leaving the windows a little bit open while my car is locked), can you please give me the control recipe for that?
BTB, I don't think it's the sleeping in the car part people may be upset with - it's the waving of a knife by a crazy looking guy with a camera 🤣🤣
'Look as crazy as possible' - yes sound advice. Have that knife in the side compartment (or anywhere) in Britain and you might get six years free accommodation 'at her Majesty's pleasure'. Nice video - thanks.
Like this ===> O_o
The only thing missing from this video is the actual experience sleeping in your Tesla and waking up in the “secluded” neighborhood. Its a lot different when you have to do it instead of just talking about it. Maybe do a Part 2 👍
I love the part where you bust out the knife. That really ties the video together for me. Thank you.
classic video.
Nice
Thanks
I Sleep in a my mini Van down by the river now. I took you're advise to Buy Gold a few months ago, Now Im broke and have to live in my Van. Any more smart ideas
I would open the window a little bit just in case you run out of battery or the car air ventilation get broken
No because if temp difference too great, it will lose heat or ac. Also a security issue.
Maybe try Scandinavia (or Europe) instead, where you can sleep at most places in your car. Although you have to leave the knife at home since that's illegal.
5:15 The front passenger seat in my 2011 Nissan Rogue folds down so I can haul more. Wish more SUV's would do this.
