While the world is waiting Tesla fulfill the promise to start mass production cyber truckits electric pickup truck, the company decided to go further and offer accessory to turn it into a motorhome. Named space camper and it consists of an add-on that promises to turn the back of the car into a kind of tent, equipped with a bed, a kitchen, a shower and even solar panels.
According to the manufacturer, the Space Camper is a structure that is placed on the roof of the Tesla Cybertruck. The equipment is equipped pneumatic actuators They use the vehicle’s built-in air compressor to deploy or retract. The company guarantees that the process of opening or closing will not take more than 30 seconds.
Once fully deployed, the user must unfold the front of the tent and tie it to the back of the vehicle. The structure stands nearly 2.5 meters high at its highest point, promising enough space for anyone who can stand inside.
Space Camper promises to accommodate bed with space for two people. At the same time, some sections of the mattress can be reused as tables or chairs. In addition, the device has enough space to store everything you need for hiking. And the manufacturer claims that it does not restrict access to the rear box cyber truck from Tesla and it integrates seamlessly with your battery to power a variety of accessories.
Space Camper wants to make Cybertruck the best mobile home
The Space Camper weighs just over 213kg and mounts to the roof of the Cybertruck with a structure that keeps it “hung” when not in use. According to the company responsible for its development, the Tesla car accessory is made from “aerospace-grade composites.” However, buyers can opt for a stainless steel lid. This adds another 60 kg of pesos and a few thousand more dollars to the final bill.
Despite the almost 300 kilograms that I would add to an electric van, The manufacturer guarantees that its autonomy will not suffer.. However, so far they have not provided too many details about it. The firm has even posted a video showing how its product will perform when the Cybertruck becomes available. On paper, this is a real luxury. It remains to be seen whether all promises will be fulfilled.
As for its price, get ready for the saber. The base price of the Space Camper is $24,000. Those who want a stainless steel lid will have to pay an extra $4,000, and prices for additional accessories are not yet known. Among them are things like a kitchen, shower, toilet and modular solar extensions. A ridiculous amount, considering that the cheapest Cybertruck was originally announced at $39,900. Although Elon Musk admitted that this is an impossible price, and it will be more.
Those who wish to reserve it can now do so by paying a minimum of $100. Although much larger sums must be allocated in order to have priority in orders and discounts on accessories. the most optimistic I can give up to $10,000although there are still $5,000 and $1,000 levels.
In terms of availability, the Space Camper will be available when the Cybertruck hits the market. If there are no more delays, Tesla will only start mass production of its electric truck in mid-2023. So the camper accessory has a couple more years before it can be seen in action.
