What would you like?I need more info on this set up!
Yes. $300 and a couple days.Well done! Did you make that rack mount yourself?
Looks like a ton of fun. I am curious about your Basecamp. Have you towed it yet? What kind of hit to mileage do you take with it?
It's been! Towing it flat land I got 200 miles out of it. Another trip with big elevation change of 5k feet in a 120 mile trip the truck went from 100% (319 miles full charge) to showing 30 miles left. So any elevation, wind it really sucks down the juice. Any long hauls would be a long trip with charging.Looks like a ton of fun. I am curious about your Basecamp. Have you towed it yet? What kind of hit to mileage do you take with it?
This would be fun to do for our Tesla Club for car shows, any chance you can put together a list of parts and some instructions on how to recreate this? We could add our club logo to the canopy top, wondering if that top comes in other colors, etc.Love this thing!!

I d9nt think the canopy comes in any other colors but check on Amazon, they have a few different suppliers. The rack I built and just went with the lines of the truck. Tubing is 2x1" and supports 1.5x .75" all 1/8" wall. Cross tube's are 2". Light but strong. Had 400lbs of lumber on it for a 200 mile drive.This would be fun to do for our Tesla Club for car shows, any chance you can put together a list of parts and some instructions on how to recreate this?

Do you select the configuration of the canopy as in the picture it looks like it about 2/3rds of a pie shape, that it runs along the side and rear of the cybertruck. I was wondering if it comes in sections and then you assemble the sections of the canopy in a particular shape. I will search amazon and see what shows up.I d9nt think the canopy comes in any other colors but check on Amazon, they have a few different suppliers.

Canopy came as solid fold out canopy with option to have 270 degrees or 180. All tube's, I welded. Much stronger that way and looks better.Do you select the configuration of the canopy as in the picture it looks like it about 2/3rds of a pie shape, that it runs along the side and rear of the cybertruck.

As for the tubing, looking more at how you fitted the tubes together (welds, screws, clamps, etc) and how you attached to the cybertruck. (again fittings, etc.) Thx.
Looking at the canopy now, says it has LED lighting, reading the reviews they are a bit mixed but seems like if you have a solid mounting structure this should work. Can you post some close up pics of your assembly when you have time?Canopy came as solid fold out canopy with option to have 270 degrees or 180. All tube's, I welded.
