Since 2019 when we got our first Tesla, we've been big fans of Tesla camping, since we can run heat or A/C so easily and efficiently.
In our M3, MY and MX, this was pretty easy, just put a mattress in the back.
I wanted this same functionality for the CT, but it wasn't easy.
I'm very much a functionality over form person, so I didn't have a problem drilling holes and doing what was required to get things the way I wanted. This is not for everyone though.
See the photos (in no particular order) for the best I've come up with so far.
For the rear, I took off the bottom seat plastic cover and found the lower seat frames had threaded bolt holes, two on the small side and three on the big side. I think they are M18x1.5. I used 65 mm bolts.
If anyone is interested, we could figure out a way to get the measurements for the holes in the bottom of the lower seat plastic cover.
With the foam getting us up to the windows, the length of the bed (window to window) is 5' 9". I'm 5' 10", so not quite enough, but pretty good. If I want to stretch out I can turn sideways a bit.
Beds are narrow but good enough for us. Not that much different than sharing the back of our MX, probably more than sharing the M3.
