I've been looking into different options for a truck camper to integrate into the CT. Giant, fingers crossed that they build a couple of electrical outlet options into the bed and have a powered back window for climate control. It currently looks like the backglass is likely non-movable, based on the skeleton photos.
Unfortunately, I think Tesla found that a fixed back panel was required for torsional rigidity and to meet their desired load/towing capacities, and this is likely why the backglass could require a urethane and bolted-in installation since fixed glass is structural. Fingers crossed again that they devised a way to plumb additional a/c ducts into the "vault" through those ~9" cut-outs in the cab's back panel. Tesla understands that many people are already using their cars for camping, so I hope they made the right decision for many of their customers, even if it is a minority.
I've toyed around with the idea of having a Hiatus Camper or something similar custom-built to the layout/volume of a Tune M1, as I'd prefer something with hard walls. I'm not a fan of the wedged Space Camper tent, so I'm looking elsewhere. Cyberlander is way too pricey and likely prone to failure, IMO.
Below are a couple of others I've found; Loki's will be stupid expensive. Camp365's design is okay and might be worth the price, but it is yet to be seen. These are the only two that are likely guaranteed to make it to market since both are established companies with other models already in production. Obviously, any design will have to be different from every other truck out there due to the rail-to-roof bedsides.
What type of build-outs have you guys and gals been considering? Cheers...
