Cybertruck Basecamp Tent / Camping
- Thread starter Buckminster
- Start date
Elon did show the capabilities of the Cybertruck:
- Faster in a
1/4 mile1/8 mile drag race against some kind of 911 while towing a 911 - Stops various subsonic bullets against the door panels (unknown if other panels are also similarly thick)
- Side windows stop a bouncy baseball limp-wristedly thrown. Presumably the glass does not stop the bullets
- Slalom on a construction site (that one was pretty good)
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the steer-by-wire. That could be a really cool thing, if it is 100% realized.
No kidding you can get higher quality kelty awning (I love my waypoint), top of the line RTT, Exped mega mat pad x2, a summer bag, 3 season bag, top of the line mountain summit camp kitchen set up, heck even throw in a AIOKS, and solostove fire pit for less then the Tesla tent…
They do show three people in the advertisement for the Basecamp, two parents and their kid. Can they fit in the tent?
It does seem that the Basecamp is installed to the level of the bed tracks - just below the level of the tailgate, which means if the tailgate is closed it will interfere with the tent, if you can even close the tailgate. Would be good to know if you can close the tailgate.
If you want to have an aftermarket rooftop tent, you'll have to have some kind of level roof rack manufactured because the Tesla roof rack is at the slope angle which won't work for a roof top tent which needs a level surface.
I'd liike to know how the tent deploys with the range extender. They are products that really should go together because some camping is done where there is no electricity available (e.g. the beach shown in the photo).

I don't want a tent to sleep in if I have a Tesla. I want to sleep with HVAC. The only thing having a tent on the roof does is make you look more "special". I guess it reduces the chance of snakes and bugs getting in the tent?
The now available tent add-on looks very lame compared to the early renderings.
If the rear window isn't usable, why would anyone pay for a $3k tent that just goes over the bed? At that point, just set up a tent on the ground like people have been doing for many decades.

Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled
Tesla has started shipping its ‘Basecamp’, a $3,000 tent designed for the back of the Cybertruck. It’s a bit of...
electrek.co
Pricing appears to be out of line with the product, IMO.
Ffs. That thing is $3000 and this is the quality people can expect? You got to be off in the brain to justify this over any other camping setup. At this point you’re only buying this thing to brag that you spent the money on it.
If this were true, why doesn't Tesla share some "real world" pictures of it?

One possiility would be to add a vent duct between the HVAC vent inside the car and the tent:
such as the Camp Stream camping climate system for tesla and rivian.
Or may be some OEM will design a slidding window for the CT:

Well, Bjørn Nyland did a lot of camper mode testing in Finland winter
and it's true, you will use around 1 to 3 kWh/h but with a 80kWh battery you can survive for a little while,
