The Tesla Model Y, a popular compact electric vehicle (EV), has recently been given a new dimension for outdoor enthusiasts. A New Zealand start-up has introduced the Teraglide Trunk Sliding Camping Bed, designed to convert the Tesla Model Y into a comfortable overnight camper.
The idea for the Teraglide originated from a young couple in Auckland, who sought a practical solution to sleep in their Tesla Model Y without losing access to the trunk. Their innovation offers a convenient way for Tesla owners to enjoy camping trips without the need for external towing or additional equipment.
The Teraglide is crafted from durable birch plywood, finished with a soft, transparent protective film. It’s designed to fit snugly in the back of a Tesla Model Y, ensuring stability and ease of use. The installation process is straightforward, taking only a few minutes, and does not require any permanent modifications to the vehicle.
This camping bed includes under-bed storage space, slide-out drawers, and tabletops, enhancing the functionality for roadside stops and camping. These features are designed to maximize the utility of the Tesla Model Y’s space while providing comfort and convenience for users, as reported by Caravan Camping Sales.
Specifically tailored for the Tesla Model Y, the Teraglide underscores the versatility of this EV. It demonstrates how electric vehicles can be adapted for various lifestyle needs, including camping and road trips.
The Teraglide Trunk Sliding Camping Bed is priced at NZD$1400 (around AUD$1300). Additionally, a purpose-built self-inflating memory foam mattress is available for NZD$290, offering a comfortable and compact sleeping solution.
This innovation is set to change how Tesla Model Y owners view camping and travel. It provides a sustainable and comfortable way to explore the outdoors, leveraging the advantages of electric vehicles.
The integration of the Teraglide with the Tesla Model Y aligns with a growing trend of eco-friendly travel solutions. It emphasizes the potential of electric vehicles in reducing the environmental impact of road trips and camping.
