If people are dropping $80k+ on a vehicle, they have no problem paying $3k for a $50 tent.
yeah but they wouldnt be slumming it in a tent like the commoners, they would be more of the 400 a night glamping pods crew
I would, even after spending $80k. If I could afford a $300k vehicle, then maybe I wouldn't bristle at a $3k tent. Maybe
A fool and his money...
not like theyll ever go camping anyways
@@Spawny500 I agree. And it isn’t so much that cyber tent is $3,000, but that it looks like something generic you’d get on Temu for $100. The prototype pictures looked much better than what was delivered.
$3000 for a tent? You can get one at walmart for $70
Guy isn't as smart as a Funko Pop
😂😂 yes absolutely
Same with apple lol
I'll sell ya my twice used Eureka 10x10" tent for $30.
You can get a 2 person tent there for $20-30 actually lol. Though super nice tents can cost about $500 which is a far better deal
$3,000 and couldn't even include an electric air pump?
That’s an exercise device which Tesla has kindly included for free. 😊
Elon didn't think of it because he used his own hot air.
That would run the battery down guy
At that point/price tag - JUST BUY AN ACTUAL CAMPING TENT
After all, you'll need a place to put all the stuff you had in the back of your Tesla truck.
The basecamp is an actual camping tent , one that’s off the ground.
@@starshipdriver8536Please tell me you’re not that dense.
@@BlownMacTruck having a tent that is not touching the ground is both safer and more hygienic than a traditional tent. i take my cybertruck camping all over the americas and i always have a good sleep with my laptop and my phone fully charged. i always bring beef jerky so i dont need a campfire anyways that just adds more polution, and i have a EV vehicle to combat the pollution
@@lostpockets2227 I see you lack basic reading comprehension skills as well. The point isn’t that it’s not a “tent”.
People who drive Tesla don't camp
Thats the first thing I thought of when I saw that Stupid tent on that Stupid truck that needs a charge and is going to need a new battery soon if it doesn't explode first
Competition even failed on camp mode! 😂
I second this comment
Yea,
Where they going to plugged in ,lol
They Glamp ... and this tent is not that.
Homeless people who live in tents watching a dude manually pump up a tent he just spent $3K on:
👏👏👏😂🤣😂
At this point I know more about tent manufacturing than anyone on the planet
I even slept in a tent.
Where have I heard this before? lol
Elon - "I know more about manufacturing than anyone currently alive.."
This is absolute gold🥇
I see what you did there! Take my upvote!
This is like McDonalds ad's making their hamburgers look good and big until you order one.
And after you eat macdonalds you wish you ate anything else because its all fat and salt bloated
Except the difference here is that the cyber truck looks ugly on the ads and worse in person
@@4ngeldus739 Looks like charlie brown designed it using a 4 bit graphics card from the 1950's but if you forgot matches its ok it will self ignite while camping to roast hot dogs
#2,,, to go!
#2,,, to go!
To be fair, it comes with a picture of Elon going to the bank.
🤣🤣
...and he still wants the $50b he had the board originally allotted him.
Was he carrying a sink?
It really blows me away how willing people are to get utterly scammed just for a brand badge and FOMO
Apple syndrome
The badge and brand? Lol Tesla is ranked worse in reviews every year. Elona is a joke
This is hilarious… The truck looks stupid, absolutely ridiculous, like something from a low-budget 70s sci fi movie. It costs 50% more than it was supposed to. And now he wants $3000 for a $100 tent. Got to love the Tesla fanboys for buying Elon’s BS.
As they say 'More money than brains'.
They also say “There’s a sucker born every minute”.
The list of suckers is shrinking. Tesla sales are way down. Cybertrucks are piling up at the factory unsold.
I’m hearing stories of body panel gaps and doors rubbing already, yikes.
And sharp corners slicing people's fingers. @@awdobsession717
Rich people problems!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Broke people that waste their money pretending to be rich
That is one ugly truck.
Truck in name only as can't haul lumber or tow a boat out of the water with it, this is the yuppie geek version of the Hummer.
@@rooster1012Most people just use their trucks to get groceries and overcompensate.
@@Nayr747 That depends entirely on where you live. Out in the boonies 4 wheel drive is mandatory.
Naysayer!!! .. Over the Air Updates will gradually improve the look of the Cybertruck and make the tent useful... all hail Musk!!!! /s
@@rooster1012 Looks like it's also hippie truck
can protect you against bow and arrow... Elon probably has never camped and thinks Indians will attack you.
Elon: suckers... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
guy is smart as a bag of rocks on a good day
@@stratocasterblue He's a good con-man.
Your immaturity will never not make me chuckle.
good con to who?, I wouldn't buy fish bait from this guy@@troy.peters
glenistergrotj3022 Don’t tell me you were actually duped into buying this crap?
I never thought they would make a car that was uglier than a PT Cruiser. I stand corrected.
😂
It makes even the Aztec look good. Aztec even had a better tent.
Gremlin
Ugliest thing on the road since the Pontiac Aztec for sure
The New BMW 7 is inspired by the Aztec.
That truck looks like something someone built in their garage.
And designed from a preschool drawing.
Many are complaining of body gaps already and doors rubbing so your comment is fair…
@@awdobsession717And untreated stainless steel panels starting to corrode.
@@dbclass4075 a scotch pad cleans up surface corrosion. Try doing that on a rusted out Ram bed.
@@typhoon320i So, how many scotch pads come in the tool kit?
Such a gimmick. Another issue is that once the tent is set up you cant drive the car. Same issue with a rooftop tent after it is deployed. For a fraction of the price you can buy a very nice ground tent with as much (or as little) space as you want and still be able to drive your vehicle.
True: about not being able to move the truck while set up. The overlander thinking is that there will be fewer crawly things invading if the tent in or on top of the vehicle. I’m not so sure scorpions and snakes got that memo though.
Lol, cyber dorks.
That thing costs 3k???
What, you think sheets of wrinkly grey nylon grows on trees?
@@3sourislooks like whomever assembled it smokes too many trees…
To be clear, that’s for the tent, not the hideous truck
The hype is fading, just like with Apple.
Only Apple was run by adults pandering to adults with money. Apparently elon's childish antics aren't relating to a long-term relationship
The Cybertruck is so fuc*ing ugly. It's like Homer Simpson designed it.
Why are so down on ol Homer, He could have done alot better
That’s a shameful thing to say about Homer, you underestimate his abilities.
Side note: that “thing” is uglier than sin…
More like Maggie Simpson designed it.
Only genuine idiots would buy that hideous truck. It makes sense that they would work so hard, to convince themselves they did not make a massive financial mistake. If I had that kind of money, I would never accept the poor quality of that tent, as well. A freestanding tent would be superior, in every single way.
Just find a small round tent for a little over $100 bucks and strap that in. May not look as good as the original, but it should work just fine for 30x's less than the Cyber Truck Tent scam.
It’s harder to assemble a tent with poles that will leak in heavy rain. Also don’t want to sleep on the ground, but above the truck bed.
The original doesn't look good....
$3k for a tent... that you pump up manually. Somebody is getting "Pumped" all right.
Reaches the max 8psi in just a few seconds. It’s better than fumbling with tent poles.
😂😂😂😂😂
@starshipdriver8536 It should be automatic, there are many that are well below that price that are not manual. No excuses.
...and the CT has an air compressor for the suspension. The just couldn't bother to make it work with the tent. Probably because it was too complex (sarcasm).
Imagine paying 80 grand to drive an air fryer on wheels 😅
The whole Cybertruck thing is ugly. They minimized car body form manufacturing costs with simplified shapes, reduced additional cost by eliminating paint and marketed it off as future and modern. It is crap, but that is only my opinion.
Accurate
Funko Pop made it ugly so you would think about that instead of recharging every 20 min and new 10,000 dollar bettery after 2 years thats if it didnt catch on fire and explode 1st
Tesla needed to design and build the presses that bend the Cybertruck's steel panels, because a machine that powerful did not exist.
The Cybertruck is still an ugly pos, but I wouldn't say they were trying to minimize cost with that. Leaving the steel unpainted/coated is absurd, but Elon needs to be edgy.
Nope, it’s not just your opinion. It’s shared amongst many. It’s an ugly thing
@@patton3338 Bro really??? Tesla invented bending metal? Dude, they have 400' ships, space shuttles, and half-mole tall sky scrapers. How much did they pay you to make this stupid comment?
please don't bad mouth tesla and elon. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ his cult followers will come at you with all their might. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Finkleborg comes to mind.
Reminds me of the Pontiac Aztec tent the vehicle that killed Pontiac.
I don't think it killed Pontiac but it definitely didn't help.
I drive a Pontiac Vibe GT, it's a 2010 model might get two or three more years out of it
Isn't the Pontiac Vibe just a rebadged Toyota? @@tomv5988
Walter White made it cool again.
Even the Aztek looks better than the Cyber truck
@@tomv5988 Probably more than that- it's actually a Toyota 😁
The competition for these camping attachments is getting in-tents
gazelle in tents!
Proof that wealth doesn’t equal intelligence
Tesla customers are slowly realizing they are the marks
lve had my tesla 3 since 2017 and my power wall and panels since 2018. l havent spent a penny on gas since and my highest electric in Tx summer heat was $26 while my neighbors were spending 350-500 per month on theirs and had blackouts. lve surmised by 2023 l had paid for the car. lm on the list for the new Tesla roadster. Figure out how much youve paid for gas and utiities since 2018. lm betting you couldve had new car paid for as well by just those savings. Google image the 2024 Tesla roadster and tell yourself again these cars are going away.
BETA Disclaimer: "As Tesla's Basecamp Tent Beta capabilities evolve, your tent is upgraded through over-the-air software updates...."
Full Self Driving Tent will make your tent autonomous by 2019, your tent will be MAKING you $450k a year by 1999.
The F150 lighting is what the Tesla cyber truck wishes it could be.
And the Tesla “cybertruck” thing wishes it could tow or do anything remotely close to what a V8 F-150 could do….
For 3k i would purchase an attachable trailer made into a mini studio
musk isn't any smarter than a Funko Pop
Same head shape.
He isn't any smarter than Elizabeth Holmes.
Tesla is facing criticism over a lot more than the tent.
Tesla POS truck.
For $3000 you can get a regular tent that is basically a small house.
I saw a Sportsman’s Guide catalog listing for a really cool army surplus portable tent/small building which is inflated like kids’ bounce houses. The tent had everything needed including electric inflator for about $1000. It was really nice, though you’d be on the ground instead of in your truck.
Thunderf00t is going to have a field day with this one.
My thoughts exactly 😂😂😂😂
who?
@RussOlson-nk3wc...religiously. We are starting an anti-Elon cult.
Why not just like.. use a regular tent. And then you have additional room in the truck bed to stow away your supplies.
Too busy with twitter I guess.
Cost like $20 to manufacturer, sells it for $3000
3k for a false advertisement tarp aka tent ⛺️ is a big miss and hard pass… it’s a gimmick and money grab on a already overpriced ugly not practical EV. Looks like a metal coffin on wheels with a tarp attachment option
Elon: April fools!!
😂
What's the saying.. play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
How about fixing the exploding battery problem or the rust problem first?
Finally the Tesla hype is fading away.....Took long enough!! I wonder what all the band-wagoners will flock to next?
The hype wasn't unjustified. Tesla previously lived up to if not exceeded all the specs they announced with their other vehicles. The cybertruck was the first product that didn't live up to it's original specs.
stop crying Funko Pop@@ludicrousmodel3173
@@ludicrousmodel3173 You are definitely a troll with that ludicrous statement....The vehicles have been plagued with recalls......do you even watch the news? You are so stuck in your Tesla fanatic sycophant bubble that you haven't even noticed.....not to mention if you live where it is cold, the batteries go completely dead and turn the vehicles into a brick.....get outta here with that "exceeded" crap! 🤣
New doesn't mean better.
stop musk your junk is officially garbge go home@@ludicrousmodel3173
My wife and I camped on the beach in the back of my Avalanche with no $3k accessory needed.
The ugly and expensive truck and tent is a total joke. I can't comprehend that they actually built that rubbish... and why people bought it! SMH
Humans will buy anything to make themselves feel “special”
A bullet proof truck, but the tent will not protect against bears? What a scam.
With the price and technology of a cyber truck you’d think they could add a thingamajig to inflate the tent automatically.
Why is no one talking about the bow and arrow comment, as if that’s a relevant metric that you look for when buying a truck
I guess you haven't been to Star City. I'm constantly getting a volley of arrows from some hooded vigilante! One time I even got sucker punched in the face by an arrow with a boxing glove attached to the tip.
Next time wear an Arrow-Proof vest when u go out.
@MagnumCarta that arrow guy is a menace
It can take an arrow??? What era are we in? You gotta be kidding me. Tesla is close to becoming Apple in their way of marketing their products
Far worse than Apple. At least Apple products are well made.
Wouldnt it be better to just tow a camper at the back?
A gap between what was promised and what the customer received? Sounds on brand for Elon.
Cyberscratch & Dent.
As if homeless people could afford a Tesla in the first place?
Homeless.?
So a car you cannot wash without effing it up and they sell a tent to attach to it? Oh, dear...
Why are people complaining about a $3K tent, thats like 2 days of work.
How can Tesla do better?
Elon Musk stepping down & letting a more mature CEO takeover who's not dumb enough to pander to people who want nothing to do w/ EV's.
Elon is the reason the vehicles are desired. He's the idea man behind everything
You won't find a better CEO. Plus he's the largest shareholder so he will always be in charge
@@TheMagicJIZZ Uh-huh..
@@TheMagicJIZZbro the only idea he had was to pay for others people's ideas with enough money to take the credit. He paid to be his own meme. It would be hard to convince me that anything positive people have to say about him isn't the result of his own marketing campaign
@@FordRangerClassics do you think he asked to be popular and have people obsessed over him? And his businesses
@@TheMagicJIZZ 100% yes. Is say any success he's bought or had was purely to be "the man, the savior, the strong guy who can bring us into the future". If paying to be your own meme to be friends with the kids isn't a little disgusting and creepy, it certainly is a level of pathetic. But there's a ton of people with no identity looking to be a part of something and feel like they helped somehow besides giving away money for subpar results and to defend a name of someone who is less interested in you existing than you are interested in if Atlantis is real
Elon over promising and under delivering? What's new.
Can’t wait for Deadpool & Wolverine! LFG!
Not taking sides of Tesla but it being stuck in the snow is not a fair comparison. Tire quality is what matters the most. AWD or 4wd can only do so much.
The future will look like the future. It can look how it wants but it doesn’t change the fact the product is trash. The apple vision pro look’s futuristic but it’s still trash.
precisely
Tesla: impractical paper weight.
$14 with shipping ... Aliexpress pickup truck tent.
"there's a Tesla owner born every minute"
A Three Grand Tent that doesn't come with a electric air pump
That piece of nylon costs just as much as a regular fiberglass truck cap!!!
3 grand for that???
Well Elon understands that you'll never have 40+ billion dollars to waste on a mediocre website so he thought the closest thing that the rest of humanity could have to get that feeling of regret and acceptance is on a 3k tent. That you have to pump up yourself.
People will buy it too. Along with whatever crap Apple decides to debut this year too.
The cybertruck is a crap truck.
It doesn't even have a speedometer on the drivers side you have to keep looking at the center console to see your speed imagine someone looking at their radio constantly really safe design feature.... oh and now they warn owners not to get it wet and to wipe the bird crap off immediately because they are rusting.🤣🤣🤣
How? It's bulletproof, dent and scratch resistant, has 11,000 lbs towing capacity, and has 845 hp and 10,000 lb ft of torque. That's pretty amazing if you ask me.
@@rooster1012 - And keep your fingers clear as the trunk closes or you could lose fingers.
@@rooster1012You're not supposed to need to look at your speed all the time with Teslas because they're supposed to be driving themselves. They don't even have an obvious gear selection now because the car can predict which gear it should be in.
yea for 3 miles then new battery for 10k after 6 weeks, pos@@ludicrousmodel3173
What does bullet tough mean?
Look at the original concepl rendering, and see if it could be stored in the back of the trick.
it's all bs
I'm not in any way a camper. However, I have to imagine that, with budget of $3000, someone could purchase a pretty snazzy standalone tent
My friend is on the waiting list for this..... I can't seem to convince him to not buy!
People are mad at a tent that maybe 0.00001% use. Ridiculous
People who don't own a cybertruck and don't want one complain about Tesla giving cybertruck owners what they want. Completely farcical debate.
They didn't give owners what they want, though. The first guy who got the tent said he felt scammed.
It looks like crap, futuristic....BAHAHAHAHAAH
Tesla truck looks like a public park restroom urinal.
Elon: Yeah that's right. Cybertruck with a tent. Jealoussss???
Garbage I'd rather stick with my rusty 28yr old Ford Explorer I bet a Tesla will not last that long.
Well at least your Ford can pull some Tesla sucker out of the snow or mud.
Oh yeah, a stainless steel, rust and dent resistant truck will totally "not last" long relative to an old rusty 28 year old truck.
@@rooster1012 Any truck could get stuck in mud. This isn't a Tesla specific thing.
Then why are the owners complaining of rust and peeling paint go home johnny child@@ludicrousmodel3173
Gotta give it to Elongated Muskrat tho, I don't think I've seen a conman amass such a cult following ever.
Well, there is Don the Con and his cult.
Haha
Geez how about his buddy ?
Idk I suppose if I was wealthy like those 2 clowns I would probably be totally out of touch with reality and the average Joe .
Elon and Donny are two peas in a pod .
Looks like a $10 harbour freight tarp!
That's not fair. The Harbor Freight tarp is probably of better quality due to the huge volumes they sell.
FYI, fabric truck bed tents are usually less than $200.. Hardshell rooftop tents are $1k-2k; even the highest RTT in the market is about than $4k, can be set up in a few minutes, and includes a memory form with many features.
It's the same with calling Teslas, 'luxury vehicles.' They are luxury in price only. They have no features, ride like crap, have wind noise, have the build quality of a Yugo, do not get anywhere near their claimed mileage rate, are expensive to insure, chew up tires at about a 3:2 rate, are overpriced, repairs take weeks, supercharging is more expensive than gasoline, driving in the cold, the heat, faster than 60 mph all drive the mileage down considerably. They are a way for rich people to act eco-friendly and egocentric while doing nothing at all green. Add in the billions of dollars spent by consumers for a Full Self Driving system that does not and never has worked, the phantom braking issues that they cannot fix, and the shine is finally wearing off.
Children are made to mine cobalt for the batteries and you forgot to mention how its ugly af like form a 4 bit video graphics card from 1970
UNTRUE, High Tech is the ULTIMATE Luxury. - ELON.

That’s fancy camping right there for ya lol
Trash piece of journalism, cherry, picking bias reporting
They actually left out several complaints that everyone else is talking about.
Imagine reinventing the Aztec
The most interesting truck ever
Remember the Pontiac Aztek?
Evs don’t belong in campsites
Oh good now I can live in my cyber truck as I can no longer afford rent.
I'm so excited about seeing a cybertuck in person I'm scared I'll flood my basement with excitement
This is real innovation, finally we get a solution to every vehicle owners most common problem, the bow and arrow.
The crazy thing is that the Pontiac aztec did it way better when it comes to having a camp package, that thing not only had a tent, but even a cooler and an inflatable mattress
You'll need that tent when you are stranded on the road.
The $3k is actually in line with Roof Top Tents - which are also bonkers prices.
