The “preorders” for the truck were $250 and were refundable. They basically just held your spot in line and allowed you the option to order at a certain time.
Also, I could be wrong, but I don’t think you could preorder the tent.

I don't want a cybertruck and I think Elon is an ass, but it would pretty cool if you had a tent like this that didn't suck on a truck that wasn't stupid and you could hook the tent up to the climate control and have it vented through the tent. Like, winter camping, toasty warm, summer camping, nice and cool. That would be pretty baller. Is that a thing already?
Sounds like an RV

$3000 is way too much for a tarp stapled to the back of an overpriced pile of shit
You can see the awful, misaligned panel gaps in those photos.
At what point does it become cheaper to just have a W-2 menial stand around you with an umbrella?
When you order your ugly truck tent from Wish
I feel like relentless bullying is in this truck's owner's future.
When I read the headline, I thought it was talking about a thing to park your Cybertruck under so it wouldn't rust.
This is only slightly less stupid.
The Rivian that was announced a few days ago has a nice feature, rear seats and the two front ones all fold flat so that it can fit a twin air mattress in the cabin. That seems a better solution than ... whatever the fuck this is.
The Pontiac Aztec has risen from the dead.
Well to be honest, the advertised tent looks like Snow White's Coffin to me...
This thing somehow keeps getting worse
Ok Honda, you see it right? 2025 Honda Element would absolutely dust this trash.
Clearly there's been a market segment since 2011 that still wants it so c'mon.
This cybertruck feels like it would be such visual pollution on campgrounds and stuff.
It's visual pollution anywhere. I cannot for the life of me fathom why anyone finds that style appealing to begin with.
