Nico Murillo, a former Tesla supervisor who transitioned to living in his 2021 Tesla Model Y after being laid off, shares how he manages extreme 100-degree heat while living out of two Teslas. His journey toward financial independence by 2029 involves a clever mix of minimalist living and high-tech gear to stay cool and comfortable in challenging conditions.

How to Stay Cool in a Tesla Tiny Home
Living in a vehicle during extreme heat requires the right setup. Nico uses a combination of Tesla’s built-in climate control and external power solutions, such as the Baseus EnerGeek GX11 power bank, to keep his systems running. From portable kitchen setups to smart vehicle customization, he demonstrates that with the right gear, you can maintain a comfortable lifestyle even when temperatures rise above 100 degrees.
