I had one that worked well in the third closest to the tailgate (which is good for the intended use probably), but didn't align easily towards the third nearest to cab.
Agreed. It’s not super convenient lifting your seats up to access this storage. If a third party launches 1/3 + 2/3 under-seat bins that latch/unlatch and slide in and out I would definitely buy the 1/3 one and probably grab the 2/3 if it was bundled in at a discount.
Received the $250 plastic Tesla Underseat Storage Bin late last week. It’s comprised of a single piece of plastic that extends across the width of the full rear seat area and contours to the shape of the seat bottoms. There are two removable inner small bins that you might remove if you have a...
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...
Lol - ouch.
I wonder if the $250 hard plastic Underseat Storage Bin that I bought from Tesla last week was also not designed and priced to make money…

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...
It is about 50 inches wide so if the kids are small enough adult +2 kids can fit although snug… I would recommend just getting a ground tent for the kids while you and your SO take the CT :)
So that’s actually the front side of the tent, and yes it does have a zipper to close for privacy. The backside of the tent (facing the cab of the truck) also has a window that can be zipped open or closed.
Agree completely - but glad to hear Tesla may be launching a hardware “fix” to make it less of a PITA. Reality is that once you do it a few times it’s not bad. Repacking the tent is more challenging at this point. I think the designer of the tent had good intentions, because they want to...
Nope. There is an easy access zipper to connect to the bed’s outlets though. So you can always run a space heater or AC unit. If you really need heat, I would probably use an electric blanket for efficiency though.
Not a stupid question - With any rooftop tent, you are kind of stuck in place so this is probably something a lot of people wonder about.
I haven’t tried it, but technically it’s possible since you can drive w the tailgate down. Rear visibility with CT large side mirrors will also help make...
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...
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...
