Tesla stated on its official account that Camp Mode comes standard with every Tesla. The post lists the feature as included with every vehicle.
Feature Basics
Camp Mode maintains cabin temperature and keeps 12-volt outlets and USB ports active while the vehicle is parked. It draws from the high-voltage battery with limits to prevent deep discharge. Tesla Model Y Owner's Manual shows the mode activates through the climate menu and runs until manually stopped or battery thresholds are reached.
Verification Steps
The X post serves as the direct company statement. Cross-check the feature in the vehicle software under Controls > Climate. Older builds may require an over-the-air update before the option appears. No paid upgrade path exists in current menus, which aligns with the standard claim.
AutonomyEV's opinion
Buyers gain a practical overnight capability without separate hardware. Real-world duration still depends on outside temperature, battery size, and accessory load. Fleet data from Tesla would clarify average energy use, yet that breakdown has not appeared in public releases. Monitor software notes for any future restrictions on how long the mode can run unattended.
