Given the popularity of Tesla's bestselling vehicle, the Model Y, it was a bit puzzling that the SUV lacked an official inflatable air mattress accessory that heads the wishlist for many of its owners.
Until now, as Tesla has finally released a tailored Model Y air mattress for camping trips, and priced it rather competitively, so it immediately went out of stock.
Cue the jokes about Tesla shareholders sleeping in their Model Y after Elon Musk's stock award vote, or while the car drives itself on FSD.
The contouring of the Model Y air bed fits snugly between the wheel wells in the trunk, and extends all the way up to the front seats.
Model Y air mattress price and size
- $225
- 74.4 X 50.4 X 3.12 inches (1.91m X 1.3m X 0.08m)
While more expensive than the popular Uncle Elk inflatable bed for the Model Y, the official Tesla air mattress is contoured better and priced at the very decent $225.
The sheer fact that the Model Y air bed went out of stock shortly after its release in Tesla's online shop speaks volumes about its desirability.
Tesla lists the official Model Y air mattress dimensions as 74.4 X 50.4 X 3.12 inches (1.91m X 1.3m X 0.08m), Not exactly a double bed for two adults, but a comfortable sleep for an afternoon nap or a camping trip under the stars nonetheless.
The Model Y inflatable mattress is made of water-resistant material and offers 3-inch foam filling for softer padding.
The bed goes across the Model Y's trunk and folded rear seats, and comes with a 12V air pump that can quickly inflate or deflate it for storage in the dedicated carry bag.
If anything goes wrong and the Model Y inflatable trunk mattress gets punctured by sharp objects, Tesla also provides two self-repair patches to fix it on the spot.
The only thing left now is to wait for Tesla to stock the Model Y air mattress back in its online store and willing buyers can leave their email to get notified when it does.
