Tips for useful accessories
Enhance Your Camping Experience with Our Recommended Accessories. The WattaBox Y is the perfect foundation for your adventures, whether you're heading to festivals, enjoying extended weekends, or embarking on epic road trips. With the right additions, your setup becomes even more comfortable and versatile. For short trips, an inflatable mattress is often sufficient, offering quick setup and a cozy sleeping space. For longer journeys, we recommend a portable power station to keep your devices running off-grid, a suitable cooler for your Tesla Model Y to keep food fresh, and a car awning for extra space and privacy, especially in the rain. Each accessory is carefully selected to make your trip unforgettable—discover how you can optimize your camping adventure!

Sleeping
A comfortable, spacious mattress is a must-have for camping. We recommend the Exped MegaMat Auto Air Mattress, as it takes up little space when packed and offers the largest sleeping surface. Alternatively, there are other options, such as the Tesla Model Y Air Mattress available directly from the Tesla Shop.
More Space, even in bad weather
On longer road trips, rain can sometimes be an issue. To keep you dry and provide more privacy, we recommend a car awning, such as the QUECHUA Air Seconds Base Connect Fresh from Decathlon. Tested and highly recommended.
Cooking
Use a gas camping stove or, like us, a suitable induction cooktop, e.g., from Brunner (Camping Wagner) or TOKIT (Amazon). It works quickly, the heat goes exactly where you want it, and you don’t have to deal with gas cartridges.
Important: Only use induction cooktops with continuous, non-pulsed power consumption.

Camping fridge
If you want to keep some food or drinks cool in the summer, we recommend a refrigerator from Tescamps that fits behind the center console of the Tesla Model Y and can easily be moved to a different location. For longer trips and amateur cooks, we recommend the Belko ArcticCore 30L refrigerator in a sub-trunk, which can also be operated at home using 230V. You can find a comparison of the two devices on the blog .
To ensure power is available when the car is switched off, select Vehicle > Charging > Keep accessory power on in the vehicle settings. Good news for all camping enthusiasts!
Alternative: rent space in a refrigerator at campsites for a small additional fee.
Mobile Powerstation
If you want to run a refrigerator or an induction cooktop, you'll need a portable power station with sufficient power and capacity. We use the Bluetti AC200Max , but there are also numerous other suitable models, such as the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 or the EcoFlow DELTA 2. For cooking with a suitable induction cooktop, the power station should have a continuous output of at least 1,500 watts. You can find a power station test from Heise Media Group here .
