Cybertent (BaseCamp Tent) info/specs/pics from Cybertruck Accessories Engineer ⛺️

Thank you for the information. Did you happen to notice if the truck had ventilated seats. I have been unable to find out.

No ventilated seats a couple of review videos of the CT have confirmed only heated seats.

Front seats ventilated… rear heat only.

I was at the delivery event and got to talk with one of the Accessories engineers, here is what I learned about the tent, please see my pictures below.

1) The structure is inflatable to 8PSI. The tent comes with a manual air pump (see pictures). Is much faster to inflate with a manual pump.
2) The tent is a double-wall design and it has several windows/vents that can be zipped.
3) The tent has a pass-thru (basically a hole in one of the tent pockets) for AC cables (for the heater, lights, etc)
4) I asked why not use CT's heaters -- he mentioned that CT has inefficient heating when compared with a local electrical heater. (entire vehicle vs tent)
5) The tent is 6ft long and it flies above the extended battery pack, it is anchored in the L-track. 2/3rds of the truck bed are still available (under the mounted tent) to store things with or without the tent erected.
6) The price of the tent will be comparable with any other car tent.
7) The tent comes in an enclosure that can fit right above the battery extender.
6) The bed is composed of 3 planks resting on some sort of L-track supports, on top of the planks there is a thin mattress that folds into something 1/3 the size.
7) Dunno if the manual air pump fits in the tent package or must be stored separately. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this: not sure if the pump is sold as a Tesla product.

Hope this helps,

P.S. I am getting the extended battery and the tent. This will leave me with 2/3rds of the truck bed for 'others'.

What about the Cyberlander? Any news? Or just a rip-off?

Rear outboard seats only. Middle seat isn't heated, or at least it's not available in the interface. I'm not sure why they wouldn't heat that seat too.

You will be heated by the butts of the people on either side of you

one of my favorite bumper stickers ever: "Insured by Smith & Wesson".

Will it be seen if the tailgate is down?

If the tailgate is down when the tent is deployed, how my stuff won't be stolen while sleeping?

Won't you... be in your tent? On top of your stuff?

Do you normally worry about theft while camping?

Seems like an odd thing to worry about,

Dumb question, but can you drive with the tent installed?

The CyberTruck is too much like a boring Corolla so I want to get more attention

Yes, it folds into a shelf under the tonneau that the range extender would fit under. It does block the rear window a bit, tho.

I meant tent fully installed ready to sleep in - I know, ridiculous

Well... probably, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd have to take off the outrigger poles and make sure it's not flapping. Wind speed wears out tent material fast.

I have alot of experience with tents in high winds ^-^;

Is the basecamp tent orderable by anyone in the Tesla app? I see it on the website but not in the app. Was considering pre-ordering while I await my foundation AWD.

I've never camped anywhere that would be a problem.

That said, I've never camped in Florida.
