Sizing up the rear tray of our Tesla Model Y Juniper, to see how practical it would be to…

…install a bed, and sleep in it, for some of the stops on our next road trip.

The folded down seats at the front are about 15cm higher off the ground than the tray at the rear. This makes it slope down, which makes a sleeper slide down during the night, and puts pressure on your hips. We know, because we had that very problem when we tried car camping in our Model 3, a couple of years ago. Terrible night’s sleep.

My second attempt worked a bit better:

It seems to me that all we need to do is raise the floor boards at the rear, as shown by the ad hoc blocks of wood I added.

But, I think I’ll save myself the carpentry, and just buy a Teraglide platform, which is designed for this job.

In case you’re wondering, part of the attraction of car camping in the Tesla is that it has “Camp Mode” to keep the cabin at a comfy temperature all night. Cheaper than a motel.

Next, to find a comfy mattress, to fit on top. The Snuuzu looks interesting 🤔.
