Tesla’s CyberTent Experience: Camping in a Cybertruck Just Got Real

A weekend inside Tesla's new CyberTent reveals surprising comforts, built-in tech, and why outdoor lovers are calling it the future of van life.

Camping has a totally fresh look combining modernism with historical sensibility.

From a science fiction movie not too long ago, the idea of camping in a classy electric truck could have seemed like a bizarre one. But the CyberTent reality crashed this summer, and I can state after spending a weekend experimenting with it that it is really changing how we see the outside.

First impressions: unexpectedly big, tough, and beautiful

A unique add-on for the Cybertruck, the CyberTent is a lovely, modular construction that links right to the truck bed. Complementing the strong angles of the truck, it seems like it is a part of its defensive shell. Still, what about the inside?

Welcome beyond belief.

Two adults can comfortably fit in the tent, which also provides enough room for standing. Using the built-in air compressor of the truck, its inflatable support beams may be quickly deployed, saving you time, work, and the trouble of pole handling.

Installation takes under five minutes.

Homelike Amenities of The Wilds

Now, let's discuss the characteristics.

LED illumination, USB charging connectors, and 12V outlets driven from the truck's battery turn a cold camping into a cozy refuge by the CyberTent. Thanks to the Cybertruck's Camp Mode, the tent keeps a pleasant temperature and great airflow and energy efficiency all night.

You can either create espresso, play music, or run a small fan. Moreover, if you have the equipment for a Starlink connection, you may still access the internet even when you are far from urban living.

It's like having a digital cabin experience without damaging the surroundings.

An Evening with a Tesla Twist Beneath the Stars

Spending the night in the CyberTent is really enchanted.

Available separately, the air mattress fills the truck bed tightly. Thanks to mesh windows letting in fresh air and blackout curtains offering seclusion, you might prefer to gaze at the stars or hide up for total blackness.

One evening, it rained. There were neither flappings nor drips nor spills. Remaining in position, the CyberTent appeared more like luxurious camping than anything else.

"Waking to the sunrise over a pine valley with a warm cup of coffee in my hand, I felt completely revitalised."

Who Is the CyberTent For?

Is this just for Tesla fans? Surprisingly, no.

The CyberTent is for:

  • Digital nomads seeking mobile connectivity

  • Weekend warriors who love quick getaways

  • Minimalists who want a lighter footprint

  • Dog owners wanting a clean, secure space

  • Outdoor lovers seeking convenience without compromise

It’s not a toy. It’s a tool for a new era of adventure.

A Whole New Take on Van Life

We’ve all seen the rise of #VanLife on social media—but the Tesla CyberTent may be its electric successor. It’s not bulky, it doesn’t guzzle gas, and it lets you sleep under the stars with a fully electric vehicle as your basecamp.

There’s something poetic about pairing futuristic tech with ancient landscapes—and the CyberTent lets you do just that.

The Verdict: Worth the Hype?

Absolutely.

Tesla has managed to bridge the gap between outdoor living and smart design. For weekend travelers, long-distance road trippers, or anyone who loves nature without roughing it, this experience is both thrilling and practical.

You’re not just driving a truck.

You’re camping inside a piece of the future—without giving up the comforts of the present.

“With the CyberTent, the journey is the destination.”

Want to Try It?

The CyberTent is available through Tesla’s online shop as a Cybertruck add-on. It’s currently in limited release, but demand is high among both tech lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

If you already own a Cybertruck, this is the one upgrade you don’t want to skip.
