@TownBiz I picked up my tent today, but the tech who works on Cybertrucks was about to leave for the day. Fortunately, they let me take the tent in its box, so I'll be unboxing and installing probably tomorrow. I'll try to grab pictures and videos for folks who maybe interested.

Interestingly, he started out by telling me he had just installed a tent on another truck earlier in the day and there is another component that isn't currently included in the kit because it doesn't exist yet. I asked a few questions about the part and he said he was told by corporate there will be a toolless way to remove the aeroflap and once it's ready, people who bought the tent should be able to get it from their local service center. He wasn't sure if it would be toolless fasteners to replace the torx bits or a replacement for the aeroflap, but it sounded like it will provide an attachment point for the tent at the back of the cab. It may make more sense what he was saying once I get it set up the first time, but the fact they seem to know the aeroflap in its current form is a bit of a miss for the tent was encouraging.

More info tomorrow, hopefully. :)

Does it include the sleeping pad with the tent purchase?
Yup probably about 1.5-2” high quality memory foam style pad. It does not inflate (like a Exped brand sleeping mat) - probably a smart idea to have it connected to the inflatable “tent pole” system because you’re more likely to put a hole in a sleeping pad… It’s a nice pad, but folks will probably want to roll out another pad layer on top.

I’ve had a CT for 6 weeks and last week the local SC installed a Basecamp tent. I was excited about the original camper (+kitchen setup!) announced years ago and like many CT early adopters can’t help myself when it comes to fun + innovative gadgets and toys. I was hesitant to get the Basecamp because of the $3k price tag (and lack of stove, jk), but seeing the prices of other truck’s rooftop tent options + the price of a regular Heim Planet (designer of the Basecamp) tent made it seem less ridiculous.

Although Tesla is requiring SCs to do the initial install, in reality both install and removal of the tent from the bed (aka “vault”) is straightforward as long as you can deadlift 90lbs and/or have a buddy to help lift. Basecamp comes with 6 brackets that attach to the vault’s side rails and have specific spacing. Attaching these brackets is simple: same as how you attach your bottle opener or tie down points that come with Foundation Series trucks. Assuming Tesla is requiring the SC to do it just because of potential liability issues w/ people not putting the brackets in the right positions. That said, the manual provides install instructions for anyone to put these brackets in, so I suspect that one day Tesla may direct ship to customers. The trickiest parts of initial install are setting the stowed Basecamp in the right slot (need to put it in at a slight angle closest to the bed of the truck) and aligning the two T25 bolts that secure Basecamp’s frame to the truck. The manual recommends using a flashlight so you can align the holes and that really does make it pretty easy. Unfortunately the SC installer had some difficulty with this initially and scratched one of my brackets and may have also slightly messed up the threading on that bracket because it’s a little loose - not a show stopper, and theoretically a replaceable part. Once you remove those two T25 bolts, you can take the zipped up Basecamp with frame out of the truck and store it at home. This is welcome news because it definitely cuts into the length of your bed/vault (a bit more than 1/3 closest to the cab of the truck) if you like to transport adult sized mountain bikes using a tailgate pad. Otherwise, as mentioned the design is great because you can store gear under the stowed Basecamp.

Between breaks in the rain today I had a chance to try setting up the Basecamp in my driveway for the first time. Overall, it’s fairly easy to do, but I wouldn’t say it’s significantly easier than setting up a standard tent on the ground. My biggest issue with setup is the very first step, which is removing the CT’s “Aeroflap” (long metal piece right between the can and the bed). It’s tricky because you are blindly reaching the two T30 bolts that keep it in place and if you drop those bolts into the abyss below (likely falling into the area that the tonneau retracts into), bad things may happen and you will probably need to visit the SC to chase down the runaway bolts at a minimum. After you remove them a few times it’s not terrible, but between removing the bolts and then forcefully popping out the Aeroflap, it just feels like a less than premium experience. Removing and reinstalling the Aeroflap does make me a little concerned about losing some of the water proofing at the front of the vault, and I can see the plastic pieces/clips from the Aeroflap potentially breaking with repeated use.

According to the manual, after removing the Aeroflap, you should be able activate Tent Mode (no, not camping mode like every other Tesla, but a specific mode that probably enables suspension levelling for uneven ground + power to the vault outlets so you can run whatever glamping goodies you have in your tent). Unfortunately the software is still MIA, but my SC is doing some research to find out how they can find it + enable it or what the game plan is for release because their instructions don’t reference it whatsoever. I had assumed it would be similar to when an SC or tech installs a tow hitch on your Model Y and then pushes “Tow Mode” to your car.

Once the somewhat inconvenient Aeroflap is removed, the remaining install steps are pretty easy (not that removing the Aeroflap is terribly difficult either - just kinda unpolished). Unfolding the lightweight aluminium three-pieced is straightforward. However, if you don’t push in the buttons/springs to unlock + unfold each of the legs (which rest on the tailgate when deployed), you will easily snap the leg retaining mechanism. I suspect that this is another part that many people will need to replace because it’s very easy to break. Next step is finding the two “Roof Peak” clips and attaching them to the roof. This may sound weird, but these smartly designed pieces are just a great example of how the thought and attention to detail that went into Basecamp. They perfectly fit along the iconic triangle part of the CT windows and are critical for maintaining the structure of the tent. Very slick design. Once you easily find and close 3 of the 4 Heim Planet air valves, inflating the tent structure is straightforward and pretty sweet if you have never tried an inflatable tent.

The shelter materials + hardware (zippers, valves, tubes etc) feel really high quality and well made, which is to be expected from the premium Heim Planet brand. There are many CT specific logos on pieces of the tent including the zipper pulls - which may help mentally justify that $$$ premium a little. The visibility out of the tents windows is fantastic and placement of retaining bands for windows are thoughtfully placed. The mattress is about 1.5-2” foam pad that is segmented to enable the tent to fold. Because it is not foam + inflatable (like Exped brand sleeping pads which are super thick and probably as comfortable as my mattress at home), it’s definitely a very firm sleeping pad. It’s decent and definitely convenient, but people may want to bring another sleeping mat to throw on top for extra comfort. I didn’t try spending the night on it so I can’t say for sure, but that’s my quick assessment. As for the tent space itself, it’s the width of the full truck bed and a bit longer because the bottom of the Basecamp frame stands on top of the lowered tailgate. It’s smaller than a queen size bed but you can comfortably fit two adults or maybe 1 adult + 2 kids. I wouldn’t attempt 2+2 unless you want your kids kicking each other all night.

Taking down the tent is easy and quick because the frame deflates effortlessly after you open the 4 valves. Disconnecting the previously mentioned “Roof Peak” clips is effortless and gathering the tent + folding it back up is straightforward. Unfortunately, getting the folded up tent + frame back into it softcover and zipped up can be pretty frustrating. Because the tent frame is wide enough to get every square inch of real-estate from the bed of the truck, there is very little wiggle room for getting the fabric of the softcover up and over the sides of the folded Basecamp. I went through this process twice so far and both times have been pretty annoying + far more time consuming than they should be. To make matters worse,one of the nylon webbing straps sewing broke while I was tightening one of the tent cover nylon webbing straps (the two retainers with cobra buckles that you can see on the front of the unopened Basecamp). This is definitely a fixable weak point on the design that could have been avoided with some stronger double stitching.

Because the rainy weather hasn’t allowed me to do a full setup + takedown more than once, I still can’t definitively say whether or not I recommend the $3K Basecamp. On one hand, I think that much of the thoughtful and unique design elements might warrant the cost: it’s fairly lightweight + easy to install/remove the stowed tent from the truck, stays out of the way (unless you want to transport multiple bikes in the bed), doesn’t reduce range due to decreased aerodynamics, and has intuitive pieces that make setup + takedown a breeze. On the other hand, there are some unpolished areas that stick out because of all those great elements I mentioned already: removing + re-installing the “Aeroflap” and the frustration of fitting and zipping up the stowed Basecamp in softcover after you finish using the tent. The three minor damaged pieces (the scuffed + potentially thread damaged middle bracket where a T25 bolt secures the stowed Basecamp to the bed rail, one of the leg quick release buttons, and the nylon webbing for one of the cobra buckle retainers) that I mentioned might have been better designed and will need to be fixed too, but because they don’t impede the function of the tent they’re not show stoppers. The currently MIA “Tent Mode” is also a bit of a red flag because the rumoured self-levelling element is a pretty big deal for roof-top-tent camping - briefly laying on the sleeping mat while parked in my gently sloped driveway I could feel myself rolling downhill. If Tesla releases Tent Mode to all CT owners or only verified Basecamp owners may be a deciding factor for people buying the Basecamp or waiting for a 3rd party solution (theoretically if a maker creates cross bars for the vault, other folding rooftop tents that are not wider than the vault/bed could work nicely). $3K is a serious chunk of change and you could buy a lot of sweet camping gear with it. However, as I mentioned at the start, evidently $3K for a high quality rooftop tent is not that crazy.

FWIW, at this point my overall take on the Basecamp is similar to my take on the CT in general: it’s awesome and brilliant in many ways but flawed in a few areas. That said, I absolutely love my CT and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it but the jury is still out on the Basecamp because I’m not yet convinced that the brilliant elements outweigh the areas that need improvement.

That is one Fair Dinkum review.
Top marks!
Q. If you moved from one camp site to another a little ways down the road, could you drive the CT with BC in place sloooowly?

In case you didn’t see my follow up review on a separate post:

Here’s my take after spending more time with the Basecamp: it’s a well made product and fun camping setup for 2 adults (maybe 1 adult + 2 kids) - it’s worth the $3K price tag if you’re already sold on the “roof-top” tent (RTT) premium which is typically $2-3K+. For purposes of this review, let’s assume whoever is considering purchase of the Basecamp has rationalized the value of a $3K RTT already - and yes there are plenty of nice ground tent setups that offer tons of great things at a fraction of the cost of the Basecamp or any other RTT for that matter.

With all that said, unless you really “need” an RTT for an upcoming trip, I don’t recommend buying the Basecamp right now for two reasons:
  • - If/when a 3rd party develops a set of crossbars that can be installed on the vault rails to make a flat surface, you may find that other generic/compatible RTT options are either easier + quicker to setup/takedown or cheaper (although they can also be more expensive too).
  • - “Tent Mode,” the software option expected to enable suspension leveling on uneven ground, is currently in beta testing and unavailable for consumers. If Tent Mode is released to all Cybertrucks (rather than only Basecamp owners), third party RTT options could be even more attractive. If Tent Mode is exclusively enabled for Basecamp owners, that would be major selling point as well (similar to Model Y owners adding a 1st party tow hitch that is accompanied with access to “Trailer Mode” vs. a 3rd party tow hitch which doesn’t have it.)

Here’s what I like the most about the Basecamp:
  • - Easy to install and remove the packed 90 lb kit from the bed/vault of your Cybertruck. The Basecamp relatively light and compact. Strong folks can move it solo or you can find a buddy to make it even easier. Other high end RTTs are usually heavier and bulkier so you are more likely to need a friend to help - which will make removal a lot less convenient. Because it’s so compact, it installs nicely in the CT bed without sacrificing much room or reducing aerodynamics because you can still close the tonneau cover while it’s installed.
  • - For the most part, Basecamp uses quality materials and smart design. Heim Planet, the Basecamp tent’s manufacturer, makes premium tents and this is no exception. The inflatable design is intuitive and easy to setup + takedown. After familiar with it, people should be able to take <10 minutes on either task. The tent design takes advantage of every inch of CT bed space and it feels really well made.

And the things that I like the least about it come at the start of setup and end of takedown:
  • - Removing and reinstalled the CT “Aeroflap” takes away from the ease of use and overall premium Basecamp experience. The first step of setup is is removing the CT’s “Aeroflap” (long metal piece right between the can and the bed). It’s tricky because you are blindly reaching the two T30 bolts that keep it in place and if you drop those bolts into the abyss below (likely falling into the area that the tonneau retracts into), bad things may happen and you will probably need to visit the SC to chase down the runaway bolts at a minimum. After do it a a few times it’s not terrible, but between removing the bolts and then forcefully popping out the Aeroflap, it just feels like a less than premium experience. Per another CT Owner forum member’s conversation w/ his SC tech, there will be a toolless way to remove the aeroflap and once it's ready, people who bought the tent should be able to get it from their local service center. That would be a major improvement.
  • - Takedown is a breeze until you need to fit the folded Basecamp platform back in its fabric storage container. Because the tent is designed to make the most of the full width of the truck bed, there isn’t much room on the sides of the folded Basecamp, which can make fitting the platform back in the bag and zipping it back up a bit frustrating. The good news is that after doing it a couple times, the fabric seems to loosen up and it gets much easier. Still annoying.

For people who decide to buy the Basecamp, there are a few things to be careful with - it would be nice for Tesla to improve these too, but not critical:
  • - When installing the packed Basecamp on its vault rail mounts, use a flashlight and carefully align T25 bolts to secure the tent box to the rails or you may misthread the mounting bracket.
  • - When unfolding or collapsing the tent platform legs, make sure to fully compress the press the locking pin release buttons to release/fold/collapse the tent platform legs or you may snap the holding mechanisms.
  • - When doing the absolutely last step of storing the folded tent, avoid pulling hard on the cobra buckle straps or you may pull apart the super weak stitching. These straps are meant for light duty, keeping the fabric tent storage bag closed more than anything else.
  • - Although then manual says you can leave the small two red tent positioning straps connected below the Aeroflap for future use, this isn’t a great idea because they can easily be caught in the tonneau cover and crunched.

A couple final notes:
  • - If you think the tent is ugly, great, do you. Similar to the CT, it’s more “function over form” and some people will think it looks awesome while others think it’s ugly AF.
  • - If you think you can get better “traditional” ground tent gear for a fraction of the cost, you’re right! Great, do that if it checks the blocks you need.
  • - If you think a $3K tent is absurd and totally unnecessary, you’re also right. While I wouldn’t call the CT itself absurd because I think it’s a great truck and fantastic for many reasons, it’s also a luxury. There are plenty of solid second-hand traditional gas trucks out there which you can buy at a fraction of the cost too. So buy the Basecamp or another great $3K RTT if you want to or go camp on the ground under the stars for free - have fun out there!

@TownBiz What is the return window on these ? I have one on order which will be installed soon, very confused if it is worth going for it. I have it listed on turo - hoping people will like it from a rental perspective.
thanks

No returns on installed gear/upgrades although the install of the Basecamp probably takes 15 minutes (put the 6 mounting brackets on the vault rail, lift + place the packed tent, screw in two small bolts). Definitely a fun “extra” for renters. You’re a brave person for letting strangers rent your truck though!

I'm hesitant because of the prototype build issues and the fact that you can't have the molle gear and removal of the aeroflap. glad that it has been an okay experience so far though. i'm also most likely going to get a thin bedpad or mattress and just sleep in the vault like a coffin.
