Tesla has started shipping its ‘Basecamp’, a $3,000 tent designed for the back of the Cybertruck. It’s a bit of a disappointment as it looks nothing like what was originally unveiled.

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.

One of them is Basecamp, a tent that fits in the back of the electric pickup truck. It was first announced with the original unveiling of the Cybertruck in 2019:

1. What a colossal waste...

Of everything involved in that thing from conceptual design to that abomination in the picture on the right. The one on the left doesn't rate much better.

3. here is how the truck looks with the tent deployed

looks like they contracted with a seamstress to figure out the dimensions and shape of the tent

6. I wouldn't even feel comfortable taking that truck out into the woods

Or off-road.

7. Anyone that believes the tent would actually look like that upon release

probably also believes the Cybertruck could get to that location in the woods in the first place.

8. You can buy a pretty nice stand-alone tent
