I'm thinking about one of these so that I can pack my own food on long trips. This is important for efficiency because I don't want to leave my car while charging and I'd want to be eating, restroom breaks, sleeping, or reading during charging.
I don't get it, How do you access this thing while at a stop on your trip? You unload your car till you can access the panel then grab a few bottles and repack the car? So do you leave this thing plugged in and drain the battery overnight? hows the drain? minimal I hope. You can always run a regular ice cooler with minimal ice by freezing a couple bottles of water along with your unfrozen stuff and it'll stay chilly for 2 days without draining your battery or needing space for a motor/compressor/fan. It seems like dumping out ice water and cleaning a cooler is a pain, but you'd still need to clean out this fridge after each use cuz of condensation anyway. How does this thing conserve space when you can just put all the stuff you don't need at the bottom like sleeping bags or emergency-only equipment. I feel like this is a stretch, it's like putting your fridge in the garage and then being happy with all the space you saved while putting all your winter clothes in totes where the fridge was.
Just an FYI……. This thing will NOT stay on in ANY condition you have your tesla powered to…. Camp mode, Dog mode, Sentry Mode, Keep Temp…. NOTHING. Honestly NOT worth the cost since you literally can only keep it cold while driving. What if you’re camping for a few days and need some cold?? NOPE!!! Not with this fridge. Decent product before Tesla killed the 12V outlet when the car is off. But I understand their safety concern.
There is a video from Aussie Tesla that details how to tap into the center console 12v line and run a power cable under trim pieces and carpeting for a more stealth install. TBH it looks like a bit of a pain to do, but if you’re really concerned about it there are some DIY options for making it a little more aesthetically pleasing.
New software defeats the frig! I have this refrigerator and it was great. Cold drinks anytime and can keep frozen food frozen when coming from the grocery. Now I'm angry that the last software update turns off the power to the outlets when the car is parked, even if Sentry mode is on. Now my frig is worthless. I just called and complained to Tesla but who knows if that will ever be reversed. It will work in camp/dog mode but I can't have my A/C on all day when parked at work. Anyone with a frig should join me in complaining to Tesla. I'm told older hardware versions still power the outlets when parked. I have HW4.
Drains about 1% per day but you have to have Sentry mode on which takes another 1%. Now it doesn't matter, if you have HW4 anyway, because the newest software update de-powers the outlets when you're parked or charging at home so the frig is worthless.
Listen. You were me for about 14 years. Many years later, the car evolution and many work promotions, I was able to afford my first used Model Y LR 2022 last year. Your time will come.
Please please don't sacrifice your financial freedom and well-being for a Tesla or any other car. I strongly recommend that you save up your cash in a good interest - bearing account until you have enough to purchase with cash. Don't be robbed paying interest. EVs will only improve with time so don't rush in before you can afford to pay cash. Best of luck to you! I went car-less for 5 years so that we got over the bubble in car prices. Finally just bought a new Model Y long range AWD. If at all possible, please please pay cash!
How long does your take to cool down when plugging in? Mine takes hours to get down into the 30’s temp wise. That’s with sentry mode oft or using camp mode l. Even driving it takes a very long time to get down to temp. I am using fast cooling mode too
Chris, I’m a follower and rarely post questions. But I do have many. 1) what happens when you park the car? Will the cooler work overnight when the car is off? Or 2) do I have to put the car in keep or camping mode to keep it on? 3) the cooler will only absorb the electricity from the 12v battery? 4) is the 12v battery recharged form the regenerative breaking system as well or only the car motor battery? 5) and I think someone else here asked : how much voltage will it use from the 12v battery? 6) is there a way to test the 12v battery health? Thank you!
Costco has the Phantom 30L freezer / fridge that is made by the exact same OEM as this thing. It’s less than half the cost. This fridge is grossly overpriced.
It’s a rebadge of that model and up charging for profit . Can’t blame the company for trying to make $ . I got a fridge similar to this from Amazon during Black Friday and fits great
@@EverydayChris the one I got from Amazon does yes. BodegaCooler 27 quart 25L is the one I got and it fits perfect. But I get it you have sponsors so I am happy for you! Good video

Sandy Munro would have a fit at the placement of the compressor. Put it on the LHS and save on all that cable.
lol yeah
Thanks for the video. However, can you use it while in camp mode and sleeping in back? Would the heat dissipation work?
I'm thinking about one of these so that I can pack my own food on long trips. This is important for efficiency because I don't want to leave my car while charging and I'd want to be eating, restroom breaks, sleeping, or reading during charging.
yeah no battery range loss
Everyday Chris is awesome. Learned alot from him before I bought my Tesla
Just made a purchase today. Thanks for the video.
These are sweet. I have a variant and will definitely add some ventilation tabs.
Do I have to turn it off every time I exit the car?
love the videos keep it calming (wow that fridge could be useful)

No work for 2024.32 ota update. No power to cig after you exit and close the door
I’m so mad
How about camping mode?

@@Capt737AA Yeah this is new... I heard they're working on a fix but with the new update it SUCKS. I'm holding off updating haha
I wish the model 3 had the 12v in the back
yeah would have been cool

how much battery% it consumes per hr?
I would have to assume not much since it seems like it works similar to a chest freezer, those things use like almost no electricity
Drains about 1% per day but you have to have Sentry mode on which takes another 1%. Now it doesn't matter, if you have HW4 anyway, because the newest software update de-powers the outlets when you're parked or charging at home so the frig is worthless.
I really envy you for owning a Model Y, a Model X, and a Cybertruck. We can't even afford a Model Y.
One day..
Comparison is the thief of joy. Keep your chin up. You’ll get there one day I’m sure.

Like 10 min?? So fast it was at 75 in the morning and I plugged it in and 10 min later it dripped down
@@EverydayChris Mine was at 84 and just made it to 50 after 2 hours. I may need to reach out to them. I may have a defective one
Does the model y fridge fit your model x? The model x fridge is sold out?
So the 12v cigarette lighter charger in the back always stays on? Overnight?
Only in camp mode.
So it stays on even when the cars shut down? Does it drain the battery fast?
As long as camp mode or sentry mode is on and minimal battery drain
@@EverydayChris does the tesla mobile app show the usage from the fridge?
@AlanTrades it does not
@@EverydayChris how much would it drop if you had it in camp mode overnight with the fridge plugged in?
Chris, I’m a follower and rarely post questions. But I do have many.
1) what happens when you park the car? Will the cooler work overnight when the car is off?
Or
2) do I have to put the car in keep or camping mode to keep it on?

6) is there a way to test the 12v battery health?
Thank you!
Hello! Cooler will work when sentry mode is on. 12v gets recharged from the high voltage. Secret service menu to check health!
@@EverydayChris 🙏🏻 thank you!
Was the compressor loud from the fridge?
Nope didn’t hear anything with trunk open all night
does it fit into a Model Y 7 seater?
yes
Is this one compatible with the seven seat model Y? I have yet to find one that is.
Yes!! Same sub trunk size
Which tent did you use?
This is PERFECT for my Model Y! 🔥
Nice!!
Refresh model X disable that 12 v jack when u leave the car. The only way to keep it on is to keep the hvac on
Keep it in camp mode or sentry mode on and the 12v stays on
Completely false info, stop spreading misinformation. Sentry mode keeps 12v power
hello i love your videos
Thank you!

kool
Y should we trust no known brand to spend $300?

Does it fit perfectly in the sub trunk??
