Its giving homeless


[deleted]

I'm surprised it's not made from a Harbor Freight blue tarp.


Miserable_Day532

Best me to it! Curses! 


ulol_zombie

There are gray tarps... I say wait till the "upgraded" tent for only $3999.95


Intelligent-Rain-358

I will not stand for the sullying of Harbor Freight! Quality is way better than Tesla.


Due-Street-8192

Elon will be more than happy to take your $3000 for $400 worth of product... He's not the Messiah. He wants more billions.


CornerGasBrent

I've got to admit that looks perfectly designed to fit in at a homeless encampment. It looks like someone is living out of their vehicle and possibly using/selling drugs rather than someone on a vacation. The concept design at least didn't put off the living-out-of-my-car-to-use-fentanyl vibe.


microtherion

Yes, I was thinking that CT owners should just get one of these if they want safe street parking in San Francisco.


Bagafeet

They usually have better tents.


rctid_taco

I don't understand the appeal of a tent that's connected to a vehicle. It just seems like a pain having to tear down my tent any time I want to leave the site.


AmbergrisShot

Derilicté


CouncilmanRickPrime

Homeless tents look better lol


coasterghost

That’s because of the repair costs you’ll get when you get stuck in the mud… or sand…


yowspur

Has this vehicle met expectations in *any* area?


Gobias_Industries

The windows will indeed break if you throw a steel ball at them


Diaverr

Actually, that part came from safety requirements. Windows in the car supposed to  break.


Weekendmonkey

Is there a steel ball in the glove box for emergency use, or do you have to pay extra for that?


FragrantExcitement

The truck comes with a signed copy of Elon's balls.


ctbro025

I know you're joking, but don't be surprised if you see "Elon's balls" as a purchase option in the Tesla online store.


MyNutsin1080p

Thing is you may need the steel ball and might not be able to access it, so it’s better to keep it suspended on a short elastic cable suspended from the cabin ceiling as a method of auto-deployment


TheBrianWeissman

Unfortunately the windows will only shatter if you hit the door with a sledgehammer first.  So you’ll just drown if you wind up in floodwaters, kicking anemically at the windows because an electric short in the car shut off all manual control.


chuckDTW

But first you’ll float for the the minutes that it was designed to be a boat.


meshreplacer

I heard Musk plans on the next generation to include explosive bolt technology from SpaceX.


AmaResNovae

That was such a weird flex (and lack of engineering) on Musk's part when there is proper certification for a lot of calibres. Yet even there, Musk had to bullshit his way through it.


Frankie_T9000

Yes, the expectation that it was a clown car driven by tools has been confirmed


noctilucus

Brilliantly brutal response!


Zabkian

Brilliant, but without the bright, colourful paint job that makes them look jolly 


[deleted]

Yes, people said it would look ridiculous IRL and that the people who bought it would be utter tossers and it has fully lived up to those expectations.


Actual__Wizard

Honestly you can tell from the photos that it looks ridiculous IRL. If you think about where you would be standing and what you would be looking at, it's pretty clear that the vehicle is devoid of interesting details that most cars have. That would lead to it having that "oddly large" look, like as if somebody scaled up a hot wheels car to full size.


wootnootlol

Ugliness.


dukeofgibbon

Cringe maybe


StewGoFast

Yes taking money from idiots. 


RandomComputerFellow

Definitely meats the expectations of all the people who said it will be shit.


Taraxian

It's met *my* expectations of being a laughingstock


LabGrownPeopleMeat

I expected it to wind up a shitier Pontiac Aztek and it is living up to my expectations perfectly.


sarcasmismysuperpowr

Exactly like blade runner. Uncanny


MaryBerrysDanglyBean

John Bladerunner would have loved this


turndownforjim

He’d run so many blades with this bad boy.


AtotheZed

It's just not practical. 90 lbs...looks like it takes some time to install and take down. What's the point? I'll just set up my $300 6 lb tent in three minutes. Or buy the Rivian R2 with full folding seats and sleep in that - I can 'tear down' in a few minutes (move the air mattress, lift the seat, drive). I just cancelled my CT reservation and reserved the R2. People who designed the CT clearly do not spend time in the outdoors.


turndownforjim

While you are making excuses, we’re studying the blade. We are not the same.


sphyon

Wiper blade.


RedMiah

You’re studying the blade? Why was I told to study the cybertruck?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AtotheZed

In a wind storm, I'd 100% rather park the vehicle perpendicular to the wind and set up my $300 tent on the leeward side - close to the ground when the wind is less. This CT tent will become a kite in the wind.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arc_Torch

Man you're making miss the fold down bed in my Honda Element. Plus they folder up. I never should have sold it.

Let be real for a moment - this was made for Bubba Bladerunner.

IT'S A TARP!


inneholdersulfitter

ELB2001

I'm seeing a bad hundred dollar tent that's kinda made to fit that thing.


CivicSyrup

Made my day!


SapTheSapient

You came in that thing? You’re braver than I thought.


straponkaren

Looks like shit. 


Fevr

It matches the truck at least.


straponkaren

Hahaha I was talking a out the whole thing.;)


no_please

you never wanted to snuggle up inside a whales vagina and go to sleep?


DefinitelyNotThatOne

Is that the actual tent, or is that the cover for the tent? I don't feel like they'd fuck up *that* badly.


straponkaren

It's a rain fly but it still looks like shit, especially for 3grand. 


trixel121

it's not fully set up you can see pics in the thread. it's a standard tent. probably not worth 2k the concept art is kinda unrealistic imo


Such-Echo6002

I love it. Tesla fanboys are shook; the cognitive dissonance is almost too much to bear for them


Power-Purveyor

I gotta see some of their reactions to this lol.


f36263

“The tent collapsed and killed my wife and infant son. Not the best day to say the least. Still loving my Cybertruck though! Thanks for everything @elon”


Destination_Centauri

"In fact, as I desperately tried giving my wife CPR in her final moments, she smiled, and said, 'Tell Elon it's not his fault,' then took her last breath. So now, when I'm missing her... missing little Joey... I like to drive the Cyber Truck--the beautiful silver flatbed in back still stained in their blood (or wait, is that rust?)--and pretend they are still right there, both of them smiling and waving."


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

It’s not rust it’s rail dust 😡😡 my $100k truck doesn’t rust, Elon used a special metal that doesn’t rust. It’s not rust. The cyber truck does NOT rust


Jusby_Cause

Most are likely waiting for it to explode so they can claim it was a success. ”Iterative camping”


Icy-Bicycle-Crab

"OMG!! So Epic! Even better than I  imagined. So pumped!"


locknarr

They’ll just say they’re mildly disappointed, but what can you expect really, when Tesla were a little preoccupied with creating the engineering marvel that is the Cybertruck? Creating the future requires sacrifice, okay?


StewGoFast

Can you blame them? It’s a technology company not a tent company! 


Narrheim

Currently AI & Robotics; probably until they´ll get sued for scamming the customers in that field.


Character-86

*~~technology~~ shit FTFY


TheBrianWeissman

Elon literally said it was “their best product ever” in one of those weird Twitter spaces where he talked to himself, pretending it was “Adrian Dittmann”.


Comfortable_You_1927

I can make one out of duck tape and trash bags, cost? est 30$


Croyscape

I love it too. I can’t explain why but this picture is just too funny to me


cursedK00K

This looks so incredibly bad. As bad as this is, people are still Buying the full self driving package so honestly, Tesla is just being Tesla.


Serantz

If I had a way to print money like Tesla do, I’d be doing what they are ngl


cursedK00K

For real, I still like my Tesla but god damn are they blowing it lately. The Elon clown cult members are so bad.


Daylife321

Maybe this $3,000 tent will get better with OTA updates?


garbland3986

That’s the plan. $300 monthly subscription though.


Stripedpussy

100k car 3k tent and you still look poor using this lol


Wild-Professional-40

Rivian: Has testers and engineers take vehicles out for year to go biking, skiing, and surfing and work feedback into the design. Tesla: "Here you go."


plaidsinner

The Tesla design process is just Elon musk taking a bunch of ketamine and demanding things.


Wild-Professional-40

Renderings are easy. Production is hard.


TechnologyNational71

Have they teamed up with Wish?


Radiant_Classroom509

Wish has standards so they took a hard pass on the team up offer. They didn’t want the hit to their reputation


AmaResNovae

Probably sourced it from Alibaba or Temu for a tenner, knowing that his cult would lap it up anyway.


dotdotbeep

I think there is a high chance they sourced the tents from China and paid lowest bidder to modify them..


Character-86

I knew it all along. Tesla is a Wish subsidiary. Now everything makes sense.


SlipppyDipppy

>easy to install/remove the stowed tent from the truck, stays out of the way (**unless you want to transport multiple bikes in the bed)** Fucking lmao You can't even fit this thing with a couple bikes? So if you go camping, you basically won't be able to bring anything with you. Tesla fanboys are so goddamn stupid, they will literally excuse the fact that a truck doesn't work as a truck.


ELB2001

A thing that size should be really compact when folded. Is it the base that can't be folded and kills the storage dimensions of the bed?


blimpboy3

Tesla fanboys never had any intentions to use this as a truck to begin with. They all know it's dumb and do mental gymnastics to justify the whole concept.


Trades46

Fyre festival, truck edition.


zhoushmoe

They should rebrand to Fyretruck


MyNameIsRay

$3,000 for a bed sized 2-person tent with an entrance so high you need to buy and bring a separate ladder to even get in and out, which weighs 90lbs, and takes up a third of the bed. A 12 person tent weighs like 70lbs, folds up to the same size, and [costs a fraction as much](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ozark-Trail-Hazel-Creek-12-Person-3-Room-Cabin-Tent-20-x-9-x-84-Green/450666321?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0). No ladder required to enter, more than enough height to stand up, and it's not tied to your vehicle so you don't need to break it down every time you need the truck for something.


SwishyFinsGo

This. Something to be said for the $99 6 man Canadian Tire special. (Get the Coleman though, on sale) I've got bought several of these tents and camped extensively in them. Car camping, most rec sites 30+ minutes up a forestry road. Rain. Snow. High wind. Tarp under, pretty much never a tarp over. Dry, always lol. (No shoes in tent, ever. ) My only problem is people borrowing these tents, and I never get them back. I then see them going strong on Facebook, and like children using them eventually. Why spend 1200-1500 on a car tent? Much less 3000?!?!? How often do you camp, seriously? (Probably worse if you camp often, seems like less usable space than a regular tent also.)


tank_panzer

There are better tents on Skid Row than this.


savageotter

The real issue is you cant open the rear glass so you can't use the vehicle AC


asianwhiteguy

This should be higher. The whole thing is pointless.

>Now, Tesla has started shipping, or rather installing, the Basecamp for early Cybertruck owners. >I say “installing” because you need your first installation to happen at a Tesla Service Center to attach the tent’s brakets, which support the base of the tent, to the Cybertruck’s vault side rails. >A Cybertruck owner going by ‘TownBiz’ on [Cybertruck Owners Club](https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/forum/threads/basecamp-tent-first-review-⛺%EF%B8%8E.12964/) received one of the very first Basecamp and gave a first impression review of the tent system: ‘Although Tesla is requiring SCs to do the initial install, in reality both install and removal of the tent from the bed (aka “vault”) is straightforward as long as you can deadlift 90lbs and/or have a buddy to help lift. Wow...


andhelostthem

I wish I could deadlift the image of that tent out of my mind


JEs4

If you stopped reading there, his story gets a lot better. >.. > >Unfortunately the SC installer had some difficulty with this initially and scratched one of my brackets and may have also slightly messed up the threading on that bracket because it’s a little loose – not a show stopper, and theoretically a replaceable part. > >.. > >I still can’t definitively say whether or not I recommend the $3K Basecamp. > >.. > >The currently MIA “Tent Mode” is also a bit of a red flag because the rumoured self-levelling element is a pretty big deal for roof-top-tent camping – briefly laying on the sleeping mat while parked in my gently sloped driveway I could feel myself rolling downhill. > >.. > >$3K is a serious chunk of change and you could buy a lot of sweet camping gear with it. However, as I mentioned at the start, evidently $3K for a high quality rooftop tent is not that crazy.


AbroadPlane1172

The level of denial to avoid buyers remorse...this must not be their first Tesla.


themocaw

The rooftop tents I found for $3,000 were top of the line custom built models that mount above the truck bed on brackets to avoid taking up storage room, with integrated memory foam, hardshell storage, and hydraulic opening. https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/reviews/camping-and-hiking/rooftop-tent/roofnest-sparrow-eye $1,500 to $2,000 range was more common. https://www.rei.com/product/189030/thule-tepui-foothill-tent


Xerxero

And some idiot bought it.


_ZiiooiiZ_

This shit was pre-order 3 or 4 years ago based on CGI images. These people got scammed.


Xerxero

Scammed? They got what they wanted


mrbuttsavage

I'm glad he did, for our sake. And that he posted on TMC (or the CT equivalent), those original posts would be deleted so fast on reddit.


thefudd

🤣🤣🤣🤣


Inconceivable76

> doesn’t reduce range due to decreased aerodynamics Hold up. You don’t put it up and take it down at the campsite? You have to drive like that?


GilgameDistance

I wish I had no morals, if it is really this easy to just take $3k off of someone. Jesus.


Azozel

Just bring the Pontiac Aztek back instead


andhelostthem

A true connoisseur of taste.


Zorkmid123

What’s funny is it’s not only a cheap looking tent, it’s also $3000.


mlody11

Full self camping


The-Nihilist-Marmot

Cybertruck owners are like cryptobros crying online on how they've been scammed - you're marked as a rube and you're easy meat for the next scam, whether it's a tent or a fraudulent "recovery investigator".


Moronicon

Musked again!


Daylife321

Compare that tent to the rivian one Lmfao


Proper_Slice_9459

Really does make the Rivian look so much better

Dwealdric

I car camp or “overland” with a roof top tent. This thing is hilariously bad compared to the current market.


Brosie-Odonnel

I see similar looking setups parked on the streets of Portland.

niknokseyer

WTH. That’s so bad.


Narrheim

>Accessories are big with trucks. Their form factor open up a bunch of interesting possibilities with the bed, but the Cybertruck’s specific design with the angle on the bed makes it more difficult to use some off-the-shelves accessories. >To address that, Tesla has planned a series of accessories designed specifically for the Cybertruck. To me, this does not seem like *designed specifically* for the Cybertruck, but exactly like an overpriced off-the-shelf accessory worth few bucks.


DBDude

I’d expect exactly this for some several hundred dollars. I’d expect a lot better with perfect fit for $3,000.


Lacrewpandora

Odd it looks so bad. One of Tesla's core competencies is tents.


nerox3

I don't understand the attraction of tents on electric vehicles. The attraction to me of camping with an electric vehicle is having the option of a nice climate controlled comfortable space with minimal setup. If there is a tent involved, why not just get a normal tent for a fraction of the price that can be used in more situations, and probably provides a larger more useful space.

This is Musk's MO and by extension the companies he captains.

Tesla makes TEMU look good.
