Apparently a Ford Explorer with a full tank can idle for 33 hours before you run out of gas. That's without headlights or fan.

If you had a fully charged Tesla, it uses 10% of your battery for 8 hours of heat in "normal conditions" (no info on what that really means) or 14-15% for 8 hours in "extreme cold" and it automatically halts the camp mode if you drop to 15% battery. So on a full charge in "extreme cold" conditions your Tesla would keep you warm for a little over 45 hours and would still have 15% battery to get you off the road safely.
