Partying in your Tesla will soon be a thing, thanks to a new feature coming soon.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk returns to his Twitter role of promoting new vehicle features with this announcement of an upcoming "party & camper mode" for all three of Tesla's offering: Model S, Model 3 and Model X.
We’re adding a “party & camper mode” soon to S/3/X, so your car can maintain air flow, temp, selective lights, music & power devices for 48 hours or more while parked. Big batteries rock …

When an electric car is equipped with a big battery pack, as is the case with all Teslas on the market, there's juice to spare in most situations, so why not put it to use?
