Tesla has simply delivered the primary Cybertrucks, and alongside the discharge of the brand new car it has introduced a number of equipment, together with a $2,975 tent attachment that’s styled very similar to the Cybertruck itself.
We discovered concerning the imminent launch of the Cybertruck “basecamp” via a leak in a Tesla app replace yesterday, which revealed renderings of the accent.
Now Tesla has up to date its web site with the basecamp accent, providing extra particulars and pictures of what it would truly seem like.
We truly first discovered that Tesla would supply a camper configuration for the Cybertruck means again in 2019. Together with that announcement, Tesla posted a rendering of the car in camper configuration.
Quite a few different firms have since introduced their very own third-party options, together with this sophisticated increasing camper from Cyberlandr and this $24,000 camper choice from Area Campers.
However now we’re lastly seeing the actual factor from Tesla, and it’s much more inexpensive than these two choices are (although rather more costly than, say, the third-party $449 Tesloid Mannequin Y tent attachment).
The basecamp additionally incorporates fairly properly with the design of the car (which can or will not be a constructive, relying in your opinion of the design of the car). Tesla posted some pictures, the place it appears fairly a bit completely different than the unique rendering above.
Notably, the picture displaying the way it stashes into the truck mattress is sort of fascinating. It nonetheless permits a number of house beneath so you should utilize the mattress for gear. It appears fairly nicely designed from that perspective – although with no video or walkthrough of the method of establishing the tent, we’re unsure how elegant that course of will probably be till somebody will get their palms on the product and exhibits what the method is like.
Tesla says that the basecamp inflates through a guide pump, as an alternative of utilizing structural poles. Display screen home windows on the aspect enable a view of the sky and for airflow (however a “weather-resistant outer shell” might be added for added safety). And Tesla says that the retailers within the truck’s mattress are accessible from the basecamp, and you should utilize one thing referred to as “tent mode” for an “enhanced tenting expertise.” No phrase, but, on what that truly does (permits car local weather controls to warmth/cool the tent? retains the retailers turned on till additional discover?)
The entire thing is out there for $2,975 on Tesla’s web site, or via the Tesla app (when you occur to be one of many ten fortunate prospects who received their Cybertrucks at present).
