A Roofnest rooftop tent tops off at $4K and all it would need would be bed rails and the two wedge shaped sidings to be very similar. Actually the Roofnest would fit on top of the sidings allowing for secure storage in the bed instead of the bed being the tent. $24K is way too much even for the CT.

Oh goodie, another over engineered and high complexity attachment for the most Spartan and utilitarian vehicle.

Not at all to suggest that $24K is the right price, but to those saying “just buy a camper” a “feature” of this in-bed solution is a substantially lower impact on range

you might more accurately say “just buy a camper and reduce your range by 1/2”

I kind of like it. Not in love with the price, but the fact that you get full use of your bed plus the camper is a big feature to me.

But I feel compelled to point out that an aero camper which costs this much has a toilet, kitchen, etc.

People should take a look at the cost of a moderately specc’d sprinter van if they think this is too crazy priced though.

Yes, a traditional camper is a wind dam but the space camper isn't going to be much better once you strap a bunch of things on the roof rack shown in the first photo on their website. I went back and looked at the website again and realized the tent is a wedge with the foam bed not allowing someone to stand up in the CT bed when the tent is lifted. This does allow bins, etc., to be secured in the CT bed. This makes it like a Roofnest, et. al., roof top wedge tent with minimal space and also not allowed in parts of the USA and Canada, which require hard sided tents.

Another way of looking at it.

It’s a double decker: 2 sleep up top, 2 sleep below.

One nice thing. It uses the Cybertruck compressor to raise the roof so no hand cranking.

Hard-sided camping is bs classist stuff. There's no evidence that most 'hard' campers resist bears more,

So long as you keep your food out of your tent, the most dangerous part of a camping trip into bear country is driving there.

Bear attacks are exceedingly rare.
