Next time I’m in “the doghouse” I’ll use dog mode.

I can verify your range use with AC on. 8:57 I had my Long Range Model 3 running all night (8 hrs) in 85 deg F weather and only used 25-30 miles of range for such a hot night. Running the heater in colder weather will use more energy than running the AC. Very good points all the way around. Using this 3-5 times over it's lifetime would pay for itself in hotel costs saved. Plus it's more of an adventure.

Just got my Model 3 and never thought about sleeping in it - until now! What a cool idea. Thanks for sharing.

Was looking for a review that’s in depth, thanks for the good video.

Ever best seen in our life on Tesla model 3 ...love this thing. Thanks

I'd love to see the room left in the trunk when the Dream Case is all closed up and stored... Great video!

You guys have the best reviews! Good job!

I’ve been waiting for this review!

Very informative and thorough.

Imagine how perfect this would be on a road trip with someone else, sleep at supercharging stations and take turns driving

This looks much more comfortable than when I was sleeping in the back of my 96 Subaru Outback Impresa out at the abandoned Ellis Street radio station back in 2013.

Tip: turn HVAC recirculate off while you’re sleeping. CO2 builds up in the cabin very quickly with it on. You can set it to off by putting the system in auto, then tapping the recirculate button until it isn’t blue or grayed out.

If you only need 1 bigger pillow, the 2 Dreamcase pillows have zippers in the middle that can zip together for double the thickness and some contour.

When I drove across country I slept in my 4Runner. I would find a gym I belonged to (free) or not and pay the daily rate. Most cases $5-10. This is where I would shower, relax in a sauna, hot tub/pool, work out etc. This worked out great. Brushing teeth is easy to do with water and standing outside the car. Also most Walmarts allow you to park and stay overnight. I would then use their bathrooms in the evening and morning as they were open 24 hours in most cases.

Thanks for this review. I'm thinking about one for my Skoda Superb (it is by the way!) Combi. The tip about pressure points and using the provided pillows is good. I'm now starting to think about just designing my own version since the foam mattress doesn't seem brilliantly thick. How I wish I could keep the Skoda A/C on all night.I think it might be possible if I have the ignition switched on: presumably, just like at traffic light, the engine would cut out and only cut in briefly when the battery was detected low.. That would take getting used to while sleeping! It would probably be illegal on a public road too.

Im glad this thing came out before I go off to college... Differently adding this to my packing list for university.

Awesome video Jesse, thanks!!

A Ikea twin memory foam fits and works great Just tried it! Not as luxurious and doesn't fold but much cheaper.

Superb! Can you set a profile for sleeping and call it sleep for the fan settings and to keep it on etc?

Awesome review, those nooks should be taken care of with the Model Y. That's why I think the Model Y will be King.

Jessie can review anything and make it interesting to watch. I’m sure I would watch Jessie review cat poop and enjoy it

Greetings from Finland! I really want to take roundtrip with Tesla model 3🙂

I have one, and I use it, not in my car, but when I stay with family. I've only used it in the Model 3 a few nights when the power was out for several days and used the A/C all night while it was 90 outside 😂

Reminds me of some caving I did once. Why (oh Y) didn’t they make Model 3 a hatchback?

Me and my gf hope to use this to go on a long road trip and see the country, should be awesome

if tesla adds a microwave and an integrated cooler to the model Y, I could conceivably move into one.

I want one but it is so damn expensive. Thank you for the review.

And the question of where do you go to the bathroom, And where do you recharge? 24 hour Walmarts has the bathrooms and recharging. Also if anyone is a member of a fitness center that is nationwide, you will also have access to showers and bathrooms. My fitness center even has hairdryers installed.

Damn, I was so hoping he'd say "perfect viewing angle."

Did you know the back seat bottom cushion easily pops out and allows you to lay completely flat. Then you can fit the back seat cushion upright behind the front seats.

This pack would be complete with a set of foldable blinds for all the glass surfaces.

Hey, what's the length you have to sleep in? I did a quick search and couldn't find a source I 100% trust.

Saw a Mercedes ad on this video. And i didn't skip.

Tesla should add some pay to sleep parking spaces around or near their charging stations.

can you charge and have the heater/AC on?

If you were somewhere with 110v power, can you keep up with the air conditioning energy needs with that? Could you test it? I'd be interested to know if you battery charged or discharges while plugged in and running air conditioning. Does the Tesla even let you use camper mode while charging with 110v

You should show the Dreamcase together with the Campfire App in the Tesla AND a view of the sky/stars! ;)

4:07 "Ok Google ..." 😉

You could get a USB powered fan to help with the AC airflow.

Was this filmed before I the Netflix update? ;)

Right man for the right product!

Jesse does your model 3 have autopilot but not the Full Self-Driving? how is that work you? any thought from anyone.

What about the (bright) screen at night? Is there a trick to switch it off?

Can you lock the car from the inside?

You guys have a beautiful property. Thanks for the great review... I’ve been considering one of these for a while and I think I’m going to go for it. Cheers!

Definitely comfier and cleaner than some motels I’ve stayed in. Don’t mention bedbugs!!!

I feel that the TesMat is much better as it will store in the sub trunk. Big plus!

"Oh, they made the bed out of concrete, how considerate..." 😂😂😂

Cool what is the cost?

Would an inflatable mattress be better?

How much luggage would fit comfortable for you?

The seats don't look like they fold completely level. Does the Dreamcase mattress have varying thicknesses to level the sleeping surface?

It is a nice mattress, and perfect for the Tesla. It opens the door for new destinations for your car. (Campgrounds with charging). But I think they can make it for about $200.00 (including the sheets) and sell it for about $300.00. They would make more profit buy selling more of them because very few people are going to pay $700.00 for this.

Great review. Well done. Expensive product though.

... and maybe the dreamcase fits into the model Y too?

excellent!

The issue is the bed doesn’t go flat in Tesla model 3, there’s a bend up at the front ! Won’t be comfortable sleeping. 😊

This is neat and all, but how are you traveling with this mattress in your trunk, AND fitting all your luggage in as well? The driver's seats, and a limited amount of rear foot area are all that is available to store your luggage while you're using this. So it seems a little impractical. This is kind of why I can't give up my Toyota Rav4. I moved from Missouri to Nevada, towing a 6ft Uhaul, with my dog+crate, a cooler full of food, a weeks worth of clothes, and everything else I needed, inside my car without having to open up the Uhaul. And I still had room to sleep comfortably. The teslas also lack all of the useful features, that make it possible to hang a sheet to cover the windows, or store stuff on the ceiling(and the roof, for that matter). Really hoping the Model Y has a lot of these utility features, so I don't feel like I'm sacrificing a ton, just to drive electric.

Where do you keep your luggage, etc overnight while you sleep?

Can you have the bed open while someone else is driving?

Full model change(fmc) will be rolling out with korean battery, not japanese.

How tall are you?

Imagine sleeping in the cybertruck 😎😎

Tesla should honestly make their cars with designed trunks for these mattresses and camping and sell that lifestyle.

How tall are you? Would this rig work for somebody who is 6’2”

How do you keep the car locked while you sleep inside?

Need 24 Hours Fitness membership to achieve complete convenience.

You forgot to mention that you have old model 3 with back seats that fold down flat. New ones like mine don't. They stay under an angle and it's extremely uncomfortable to sleep there unless you level it. I made my own dream case that ACTUALLY works with model 3 costing me about $40 materials.

Haha, Jesse is doing my dreamjob, mattresses-testing.

you never showed what kind of space it takes up put away. Does it fit in the bottom compartment? Not sure you told us the price either...

Sure, the bed can be quickly tucked into the trunk as you demonstrated, but then you'd have no space to store anything in the trunk.

First thing I do before I get into my Model S is look around and make sure nobody's looking because next thing I do is click my heels together like Dorothy (more like knocking but I like the Dorothy reference!) as I'm sitting in the car - wouldn't do that standing. THAT would look really bizarre! This way I don't track in dirt or grit into the car. Yes, I'm that ridiculous. Got my wife trained to do that too :-) Anyway, thanks Jesse for sharing the details of the Dreamcase and sleeping in the Model 3. Wonder how the Y will shape up in this regard?

I wish Dream case would make it so you can have a bed without having to fold both seats down

Is this worth 10x of an air mattress?

I take the hotel, with destination charging, and the toilette and the shower (...). Maybe because we are 50 (my wife and me).

I don't get why people, especially with Tesla's, don't buy a super lite pod. It's made by different manufacturers. They are usually cute. You get them with a kitchen or no kitchen. They are short and no wider than the car. They also pull very little energy from the Tesla. We didn't test it but it was like 2-5% more energy than just passengers only. Jessie should rent one and do a weekend excursion test and tell people how nice it was and how much energy was actually used over normal. Just do a GOOGLE SEARCH on TEARDROP TRAILERS. It's a lot more comfortable and if you upgrade the battery bank you can run the air conditioners on low or open the screened windows for cross ventilation.

With all them pillows , do you have room for luggage.

Their products have fantastic reviews but Dreamcase are unable to deliver (literally) to the UK - I am told by UPS that that they are unable to process my order through UK Customs due to the lack of proper export paperwork provided by Dreamcase. The company's ability to resolve this is has been poor and I'm still waiting for delivery !!!

Starship pillow?

COOL!

Sleeping on the job eh J? 😴😝

Would it fit 3 slender people?

I was very interested in this product until I saw the price. I bought an air mattress on Amazon for one tenth the price instead. The cost of the Dreamcase is way too many nights in an expensive hotel to justify the price.

Nice presentation but why don’t pay few bugs for a real bed

Tesla needs to come out with an electric van already. Although sleeping in a car is doable, an electric van from Tesla would Revolutionize Vanlife. In the meantime, Tesla model 3 owners can always buy a lightweight camper trailers to tow. There are many companies like HappierCampers that make small campers that would be much more comfortable to sleep in than the back of a tesla model 3.

Tesla is the best camper. And a lot of free charging stations at Walmart which allows over night parking. I bring my dry flush toilet and pop up shower tent with me for long trips.

Just back from a ~6200 mile road trip from CO to Fremont (factory tour), up the coast to WA, then back. I slept in my model S several nights. A DreamCase was more $$$ than I wanted to spend so yeah, instead, think backpack-style camping with Therm-a-rest pads and a sleeping bag. A piece of rigid foam (building insulation) cut to fit the trunk floor solved the uneven floor issue. A piece of 1/8" fiberboard under the pads created support for my pillow. There were many places along the way where I wouldn't have felt safe so I visited RV parks for the night. I used their shower/potty facilities. If I needed to, their NEMA 14-50 spots are perfect for adding a few miles of charge. Many were full but, since all I needed was a level place to park, they happily offered up dry-camp parking spots. I used a Napier 61500 hatchback tent to help the ventilation/mosquito problems. Worked beautifully.

you would probably want it set on fresh air while you sleep.

Well, but the problem with sleeping in the car for multiple days instead in a motel, you do not have access to a shower for example.

Imagine doing this on a model y

Naw...I'll take my comforter instead😊

Why In the fuck did this feel like the longest ad I’ve seen..

Wait for the Tesla truck and pull a camper! :)

Can you drive while somebody else sleeping in the back?

Some people sleep on the Dreamcase reversed, because its darker and they magnet mount a tablet by their heads to watch WiFi movies.

Awsome

Tesla should make a vent adapter for the back;) Your welcome Elon!

Ok... I slept... but hygiene needs? Everything from brushing teeth to bathroom needs and showers. Looks like truck stops (with showers).

A great and comprehensive review. You raise some good points. Especially it will pay for itself idea. When dream case Company launch a case for the Tesla model Y - that (for us) will be the ultimate dream case. As the boot space in the model Y is nearly identical to that of our model S and the model Y has SUV volume inside.

Would you mind to ask what is your height?
