We Went Camping In The Tesla Cybertruck…

  • Tesla markets the Cybertruck not just as an electric pick-up truck, but as an adventure truck that’s durable and rugged enough to go anywhere.
    Such a pitch moves it out of the urban poseur camp and into a niche where owners actually camp.
    So we borrowed a Cybertruck fully loaded with every accessory possible. And for context, put it up against EV rival Rivian, and its ground-up reimagining of the pick-up truck in the guise of the R1T.
    So, who does the electric adventure truck better? Top Gear Magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, Jack Rix, and Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, headed out in the desert armed with a steak and some fairy lights to find out…

    Cybertruck Tent: Needlessly complicated

    • @DEADB33F
      @DEADB33F Před 14 dny +26

      Cybertent combines the worst aspects of regular camping (tents are a PITA to deal with) with the worst aspects of roof top tents (they're expensive).
      The main advantage of roof-tent camping is that you can rock up at a site, fold out your tent in like 30 secs and get straight on with chilling out, cooking dinner, admiring the view ....or whatever.
      When your truck tent has like 50 steps to erect it you might as well have paid 10x less for a regular tent which goes on the ground.

      @@russellparrish4529 Thank you, kind sir. Very interesting how little power A cooktop uses.
      A little fun fact...I worked for a very high end vehicle transport firm (selling enclosed truck space to mfgs for prototype, advertising, race transport. I handled all of Ferrari's US race events).
      One of my key client's was Rivian. I handled the management of all of their prototype transport, for 3 years of development. Went back and forth from different offices (Detroit / Irvine, later IL).
      It included weather testing tracks (Minnesota in Winter, Arizona in summer) and to various engineering bench mark facilities nationwide.
      The company spent an absolute fortune just in transport (some was their own fault because everything was panic driven last minute cross country trips with 3 day time windows, so eye wateringly expensive to accomplish. Trucks have mileage limits so a very complex endeavor so had to find the best of the best drivers, have them in the area of the pick up at the right time and who were willing to cheat and drive for insane hours without putting the priceless prototype at risk)
      Why should this matter to you? I thought that you would want to know how much testing and engineering has gone into Rivian's vehicles. Years of work. Review videos etc. have no idea how much went into the creation of the R1T and R1S . I visited all of their locations and met with key decision makers. Every time I see one on the road, I feel like I had a minuscule part to play in its development. I left that company just before the R1T went into production.
      In short, you have what I consider the Swiss watch of EV's as far as how well engineered they are. I thought that it might be interesting for you to know.
      I appreciate your getting back to me.

    I'm sure someone will figure out a way to jerry rig a traditional rooftop tent onto the Cybertruck without it being off-axis. Possibly a hinged crossbar setup that would allow the tent to maintain the slope of the roof/tonneau when its stowed for transport. On another note, there's an American company called Decked that makes a truck bed assembly which basically raises the floor height of the bed and replaces the empty space beneath with these huge customizable pullout drawers. Pretty hefty price tag, but very nifty and would pair well with this Cybertent situation. Is there a power outlet in the front trunk? If so, It would be a great place to put a top load refrigerator.

    I can put my Model Y into park, climb in the back roll out my comfy mattress and sleep in 68° climate control in just a few minutes. I've done this for years, in a Honda Odyssey, a Prius V. I've done this in heat, and in freezing temperatures. I love sleeping outside in a tent or bivy, but my Model Y is just too easy and comfortable. The Cybertruck is great, as is the Rvian, but the set ups in this video just look like a lot of over priced bother.

    It helps to go into the camp trip thinking "it's going to be an absolutely terrible idea" to make sure you are ready to reinforce it as a bad experience throughout the entire experience... this video lost me as an unbiased impression before it even began. In any case i'll wait for v2 of the tent when it includes the heated bed with thicker foam but the cooler is absolutely legendary, would be better if the frunk had an outlet also and the cooler had a heat pump in it and could also make ice like the ecoflow. Bonus points if the lid of the cooler was an electric induction range. I'm also really glad they didn't think to make the electric tire pump accessory also equipped with a port to inflate the tent.

    I have an old 1993 W140 S class Mercedes coupe
    that I use for picking up and delivering pinball machines around the country for past 10 years.
    it has 3 memory buttons
    1 - for driving, and a great long distance GT driving machine it is too.
    2 - for loading a pinball machine, ( it even lowers lower and pulls in steering wheel and straightens the interior mirror )
    3 - adjusts everything to perfect sleeping in car position for those 2 or more day journeys
    the 6 litre engine retains enough heat to keep interior relatively warm all night in winter
    and the double glazing along with copious insulation ensures a nice quiet nights rest.
    and when I need to move 2 or 3 pinball machines, I can easily put my duvet on the roof and strap down the 2nd and 3rd machine through the pillarless doors and windows.
    and cover them with a tarp.
    there's many photos around on the internet.
