If I get a Tesla I would rent a gas car if I ever went on a road trip over 200 miles. Also not a good car to bring back country camping.
My brother has two spots for the new truck. Expected range is 550 miles. He said you can go into camping mode, in the desert, and set the temp for 72 degrees...should last about 2 weeks without recharging. Also, with the truck, the whole interior back to the tailgate is temp controlled with the bed cover extended (it has solar panels on it).
