What's the Power Consumption of Camp Mode?
- 1% battery depletion per hour. However, this varies based on external climate conditions and the car's efforts to regulate cabin temperature.
- Essentially, Camp Mode consumes approximately 10% battery over an 8-hour period. Vehicles equipped with a heat pump, such as the Tesla Model Y or the 2021 Model 3, consume less battery.
- These figures fluctuate based on external temperature and user settings.
- Activation of Camp Mode is restricted if battery levels drop below 20%, ensuring sufficient charge to locate a charging station.
