In this article we’ll cover Tesla campground charging. Whether you’re using your Tesla to pull a camping trailer, you plan to camp in your Tesla, or you’ll be pitching a tent, why not charge your Tesla (or other electric vehicle) while you’re there?

Tesla campground charging will typically have a few options depending on what kind of utilities are offered where you camp. If you plan on camping at multiple locations with a Tesla, having a few different adapters with you makes a lot of sense.

The Ontario Provincial Police Highway Safety Division posted this rendering of a Cybertruck Police vehicle as well as a Model X. There’s already a few police stations using the Model S as well as the Model 3 as part of their squad car fleet. The Cybertruck could prove to be the most versatile.

Dreamcase – Camp in Your Car
