It's possible that by choosing to take the cybertent for self installed. You may have inadvertently bypassed the Aeroflap retrofit kit that some have mentioned their service center installed. You should reach out to Tesla service to see if that is the case.
Great job !!! I am a truck cap camper and a cyber truck camper wannabe. I am also a Do it Yourself kind of guy. The information you have given is telling me that this tent isn’t for me. Although it is very nice , at this price point I would expect the potential for bad results to be less. I am looking forward to other set up you’re going to try and other DIY camping solutions you may come up with. For now I’m keeping my money invested in Tesla stock. With a little patience, I expect the stock prices to go up and the camping solutions to evolve.
For fabric hydrophobics (whatever the fabric is, so not only for tents), you can always apply 303's Fabric Guard which also help for UV degradation if I remember correctly.
My biggest disappointment of CT was how you can't sleep temp controlled in the bed. If that was the case you could just toss a mattress in and that would be it.
It's too bad that Tesla made the rear window in the bed fixed instead of having it roll down. You could have had air or heat from the cab directed into the tent.
Agreed. Before the CT went into production, I sent TESLA my wish to have a Mid-Gate for the rear window. I have an 2007 Chevy Avalanche with a mid-gate whereas the rear window/divider unit can be folded down. With it down I can out 4x8 plywood easily or place my 14 and 17 foot kayaks inside the bed with the tailgate down. Now granted, the 17 foot kayaks will protrude 5 feet past the downed tailgate.
Nicely done. it seems Tesla's decision to wall off the passenger compartment from the bed really kills the utility of camping in either too hot or too cold weather. Too bad.
@@bgiorgini Oh, I was thinking full down like Silverado. But you're right, A window could be possible, but I don't think that added expense would get used by many. Most people always have the cover closed, which even makes the back glass pointless.
I would love it if they gave it as an option. $1,500 without roll up cover. Just make cover removable and u could have access to vault. Half the price of this tent. Just would like more options for the price. Like perhaps also a Bench Front Seat.
Thanks 🙏 so much for such an honest review. It’s a bit disappointing hey. Not a cheap tent and not a cheap truck. You’d expect some of these issues would have been addressed before everything was released.
Pechron are great, i agree. they are no frills but the cost for these are low and they are reliable. I just bought the additional 3kw battery pack giving over 5kw pf power. :)
Didn’t they switch to a thumb screw or something to allow easier take off of that aero cover? I thought I saw something like that mentioned in the CT owners forum? I know some folks shared sourcing a thumb screw you can buy. To make the process of removing and reattaching that aero cover an easier process. Also, I think one of the recent software update helped with the battery drain when sentry mode is on.
I have a battery powered SUP inflator that will go up to 15psi. It has a fast inflation mode. Then switches out to a slower but high pressure mode as the targeted pressure is reached. Tesla should have included it as part of the Tent package imho. Even one that can plug into the truck might be a cheaper alternative to a battery powered one like the one I have. I think I only spent $60 on mine.
You might want to check out Flextail air pumps. They have two models that I have used. A smaller one [3600 mAh] and a larger one [4800 mAh] with a light built in that can hang in the tent and might have enough power to inflate and deflate. They can also serve as a power bank for a phone. They have added some new models too! With Prime day you should be able to get the small one for around $25? I use these to inflate River Runner float tubes. The small one can do about three single tubes with pillows before it needs a recharge. Keep the big one in a water proof bag for emergency inflations when on a river for slow leaking floats. Not really for doing tires but you would still want to be attentive filling the tent with too much pressure. Not sure how much pressure they create. Not high pressure, it will not inflate a car or bike tire [they do have a small bike tire inflator for up to 100 psi]. I think I see a gauge on the bi-directional hand pump included. Would like to know what the range the pump has; can it fill bike tires? Used to sell bi-directional pumps back in the 80's for bicycles for about $40 retail.
I have a pop up tent [8' x 8' x 5'], paid $50 on sale at Big 5. It sets up in 90 seconds with rain fly and packs in 4-5 minutes. Takes up about 1' x 4' space packed and use a bungee to hold it tight rather than the carrier it came in. Use a green tarp from Harbor Freight as ground cover, have a Queen size inflatable mattress and room for a cooler plus a suitcase of clothes [plus small space at the door to leave shoes]. Never bothered to stake it. My biggest problem is the time, effort and obvious anxiety of dropping a screw would have on me every time I set there tent up and down that I might not go on a trip because of it... certainly not a kiss solution. Thanks for this review and looking forward to the other items, maybe even a Polydrop some day?
For the inverter to work at the amperage it can deliver it will take much energy. A better method would be to charge the portable batteries from the truck when they are low which would give your all the power while the truck is in sleep mode. For AC you can by 12v unit for around $300 which will cool the tent and run off the portable batteries. Tfhe TLDR is that when the truck inverter is running you have to make good use of it to charge portable batteries since it is optimize for high amperage devices like a spot welder.
You have a new vulnerability, now that you defeated the loctite these two bolts can vibrate out and get lost in the Tonneau Cover mechanism from driving the CyberTruck. You need tethers on the bolts to prevent them from falling in. Use intooth washers, and fender washers, drill a hole in the edge of the fender washer and use a double side sticky tape anchor, Zip tie to the anchors after looping through the drill hole on the Fender washer, push the fender washer on first, then the intooth washer to trap the fender washer on the bolt.
I don't get the tent on vehicle idea. I plan to use a 10 X 14 Springbar canvas tent, for a living area, then at night sleep on the back of a Model Y.. Personal preference.
There's nothing wrong with camp ground camping sometimes you can get power and water but woods camping is not that common it's a cool 3rd next to backyard camping. Personally I like going to camp grounds and meeting new people.
Great video! I’m getting the Cybertent later this month. I’ll be getting a portable AC to use at night. Will likely do some videos camping as well. Is the tent actually full size bed or would a queen mattress fit also? Just wondering if you had dead space on the sides. Thanks!
The tent seems bad I think a third party will make a better one pretty quick. I'm sure those bolts could be replaced with one thats only partially threaded to make the process quicker.
I like the concept; quite a bit. Two major things I'm not a fan of ... the price and that cover that needs to be dealt with. Especially considering that's something you need to do each take-down/set-up ... that's a fail in my mind. That needs to be redesigned. I'd like to see others put competing tent systems for the CT on the market. Thanks for the testing guys. Really helpful. I've not gone camping in my CT yet, so this info is nice to see/have.
@@JT_771 now how much energy off those batteries would running a small window Air Conditioner have cost you to cool and dehumidify that tent? Remember the duty cycle will be fairly low, young engineer Jesse!
I used to sleep in an SUV. I just slept in a tent last night. This seems like a horrible deal. You can't get up and go and lock your car and you don't have a normal full sized tent which you can drive away from. I unusually like the cybertruck but I hate this idea completely, sorry.
Didn’t they switch to a thumb screw or something to allow easier take off of that aero cover? I thought I saw something like that mentioned in the CT owners forum? I know some folks shared sourcing a thumb screw you can buy. To make the process of removing and reattaching that aero cover an easier process.
5 minutes of screwing a bold... thats insane. Tjere has to be a shorter bold or a special tesla camping version with magnets or something, so you can instantly remove the cover. That is unacaptable, lol
Big missed opertunity for the van life community. Could have made access from the cab and used truck ac. Make your own camper bed. Be able to go back amd forth. People would have loved a huge living pod thats mobile. People would have turned them into little RV and move off grid. Big miss😢
I was excited about my Cyberruck order, but it's way worse than the prototype. 60%-100% price increase. Can't sleep in it with climate control, and anemic range. I still kind of want it but can't afford it now. You as always got a like from me. Maybe I'm just jealous!
Wow, I was hoping for a camper van type experience with the CT., but you can't get into the bed from the cabin. Then I was hoping to just sleep in the back seat area of the CT, but it is not wide enough to stretch out. There is more room in the back of a M3 withe seats down.. I value running the a/c or heat for car camping. Seems sleeping in the back of a MY would be more comfortable and convenient. Also Ithink a cheap tent in the bed with a tarp secured over it would work as well. Such a large truck and so little usable cabin space. Could you lay the front seats forward and have a platform in the cabin to sleep on?
We did a similar road trip with our Cybertruck, to the beach. During the night we used an electric "heater" in our case. I also noticed 12 to 14 miles lost per night. I didn't know about the sentry disabled from inside tip. I think I'll buy a battery like yours for the future
Hey it was nice meeting you guys during the CT delivery event after party. I wonder if you can make a peltier homemade AC device you can mount into the tent. You can run it off your portable battery or the truck itself. I’m sure that can provide some cooling in the tent when it’s hot.
Now I'm just thinking how could replace the small back window with acrylic with two cutouts and small electric vents from like a PC case powered by USB in cabin.. so you could let go AC in cabin and have a good sleep. However the battery drop would be probably significant through whole night. Plus the the tent is not really air tight as car cabin.
I saw a DC home charger reviewed on UA-cam the other day- i forget what channel. Anyway it could take energy directly from solar to charge an EV. Imagine DC slow charging instead of DC fast charging. It would be cool to use a system like this to setup solar at your campsite and offset your usage and your vehicles usage.
In regards to the t30 torx attachment, you could've gotten a regular ¼" torx bit & a ¼" socket to be able to use a smaller ¼" ratchet wrench. Also, idk how much space you have but, you could also try a 90° driver attachment. Now you know!
I've van camped and built my own cargo trailer conversion. Use 12v or 5v for your fans or anything you can, leaving 120v inverters on is normally a constant 75w waste, it's unavoidable. The best thing after solar charging the solar generator is to use the cybertruck to top up the solar generator. 1 mile with 800w solar!?! I mean yeah you were in shade but cybertruck is 0.4kwh/mi.... that's real bad.
I don’t understand why more trucks don’t have roll down rear windows. Especially in the case of this electric truck with it’s optional tent. What a missed opportunity. You could run the air conditioning with the truck off and if the rear window rolled down they could have put an opening in the bottom of the tent to let cool (or hot) air in from the cab.
@@craigcampbell1843 If you were reaching through the window the cover could trap/harm you, per federal requirements there would need to be an autosensing control to prevent that. Tesla had problems a year or to ago with their side windows in the Model Y not being sensitive enough to this, the extra regulatory requirements were probably not worth it to them.
@@dennisb71 yeah. Why install a five dollar sensor and a software update that disables the tonneau cover when the window is down when your fans will buy the car even if it’s lacking great features that would be cheap and easy to add to it. That sounds pretty Tesla.
I was the same way when I first camped with my model 3. Paranoid the first trip, got a little portable battery and solar panel. Now more comfortable. Just wish I had a Y or CT for the space 😅
You think the cyber tent is expensive.. then you mention these other special CT specific bed campers that cost like well over 10 times the tent lol. Ooh.. i get that they have a lot more.. but if this tent is ‘expensive’, you sure as hell aren’t in the market for a $50k add on
Great show. The tent is pricey. I used to live in NH for 25 year and we went up North all summer weekends in the summers. Beautiful country till it rained.
2:30 this is wrong. That's the old design, the new tent design has simple quick release tabs that you can just retrofit. When people who don't camp review camping equipment 🤣 it you want a climate controlled space with a bed dude, get a hotel room or a camper. This is a TENT for CAMPING outside.... Basically, this dude doesn't like camping and doesn't know anything about camping equipment, sleep systems, etc haha
I’ve wanted an electric car for a few years now. Recently, though, someone said the EMF readings on the electric cars are horrible and as the driver, you’re just sitting on the battery getting exposed at close range for hours. I need a counter argument for the next time this topic comes up. Thank you!
Who is that extremely attractive lady at your campsite? Mount Washington, New Hampshire, is only 6,288 feet high. That should be a challenge for water bottles and the like but is pretty minor compared to mountains in the west.
terrible design. first tesla product that I thought was absolutely silly with exception of cyberhammer. that was still silly but slightly less silly than a $ 3000 useless tent.

I wish the rear glass window in the bed was movable, so AC would go straight to the back
You're disappointed the cybertruck isn't an SUV?.....

Nicely done. it seems Tesla's decision to wall off the passenger compartment from the bed really kills the utility of camping in either too hot or too cold weather. Too bad.
With the powered tonneu cover, they didn't have a choice.
I think they chose correctly.
Why couldn't they have a window like other trucks? Enough to let the music, the AC and the light go in the bed

Pechron are great, i agree. they are no frills but the cost for these are low and they are reliable. I just bought the additional 3kw battery pack giving over 5kw pf power. :)
I am excited to see what tent or hard pop camper they can come out with for the Silverado Mid gate and possibly accessing the cabin Hvac.
I would also choose a Silverado with AC capabilities over a CT.
Access to the cabin HVAC is mandatory for camp mode; one can never predict the weather.

Seems a better mattress might have been icing on the cake now that you got one under your belt.

Can you just move the tent down the bed a few inches to avoid taking off the flap?
Now you Know why Fall is the most popular time to visit New England.......

There's nothing wrong with camp ground camping sometimes you can get power and water but woods camping is not that common it's a cool 3rd next to backyard camping. Personally I like going to camp grounds and meeting new people.
An electric pump for a stand-up paddleboard would be ideal. It would have no problem getting to eight PSI.

Campstream would have helped with the heat 🥵
Would be a pain to have to pack up the tent every time you wanted to drive around the area you are camping.
Pam here…my thoughts exactly…have your tent separate…it it was easier to dismantle so you can go off campsite for other stuff. Just pull a camper.
45c to 50c is called heatwave... 35c is normal tropical temp....
Just wondering. If Jessie put the CT in the lowest height mode would you still need a step ladder to get up to the tailgates??
how do you go to the store to buy a fan after you have the tent set up
No direct AC from the cab to the tent area?
Will a 72 x 48 inch foam air mattress (4-inches deep) fit in the tent?
MoFo, you were Glamping.
You can buy the range extender battery… oh
I was excited about my Cyberruck order, but it's way worse than the prototype. 60%-100% price increase. Can't sleep in it with climate control, and anemic range. I still kind of want it but can't afford it now. You as always got a like from me. Maybe I'm just jealous!
I tested sentry mode on my MYP couple of times and it consumes 5/6% battery in 24 Hrs
Real smart with the bonding/neutral!!
Wouldn't it be possible to have a an air tube running from a cracked window in order to blow ac into the tent ?

Recommend a battery powered socket wrench.
Now I'm just thinking how could replace the small back window with acrylic with two cutouts and small electric vents from like a PC case powered by USB in cabin.. so you could let go AC in cabin and have a good sleep. However the battery drop would be probably significant through whole night. Plus the the tent is not really air tight as car cabin.
Best real option is adding a foldable platform across the back seats diagonally with the passenger seat fully forward and sleeping inside the truck
You said you'd include an AMAZON link in the video, and then you didn't. What do you buy to make the battery charge the cybertruck?
Look at my like from Elon it needs to go viral.
Having a tent in the back of a pickup truck was a "no" before the cybertruck. The cybertent is a "Hell NO'.
I saw a DC home charger reviewed on UA-cam the other day- i forget what channel. Anyway it could take energy directly from solar to charge an EV. Imagine DC slow charging instead of DC fast charging.
It would be cool to use a system like this to setup solar at your campsite and offset your usage and your vehicles usage.
It really needs a 120v outlet in the frunk. Someone needs to supply a frunk outlet upgrade kit
That’s so good that you can get Tesla to install it instead hey.
In regards to the t30 torx attachment, you could've gotten a regular ¼" torx bit & a ¼" socket to be able to use a smaller ¼" ratchet wrench. Also, idk how much space you have but, you could also try a 90° driver attachment. Now you know!
Is there anywhere to pump AC from the cabin into the tent? or would that be cooling the outside?
Definitely like to see a longer test of the camping experience and solar charging options.
Sentry mode and hvac uses closer to 50 miles per night
Extender pack will really help offset overnight camping battery drain
I've van camped and built my own cargo trailer conversion. Use 12v or 5v for your fans or anything you can, leaving 120v inverters on is normally a constant 75w waste, it's unavoidable.

Would MUCH rather camp in Model Y in luxurious climate control and looks like the Y is bigger when the seats folded than that $3000 tent. $.02.
Get a power ratchet.
A step stool ROFL! Considering the wilderness we have that's a bit much...
A tent is a tent. A truck is a truck. I left the tent era 50 years ago. I'll wait for Artic Fox to make a camper.
Your 13 miles loss on the CT overnight likely had more to do with the AC inverter running for the fan than the sentry mode.
58f here in Scotland.
32-36 Celsius here in Austria.
This was a cautionary tale about how desperately unpleasant camping is.
Wont be buying a Tesla tent. A camper shell/tent would be nice though.
Battery packs pressurize and de-pressureize too.
Sentry mode on the Model Y consumes a lot of energy.
Are you guys planning to get a Space Camper?
Can't you use camp mode>
2:30 this is wrong. That's the old design, the new tent design has simple quick release tabs that you can just retrofit.
When people who don't camp review camping equipment 🤣 it you want a climate controlled space with a bed dude, get a hotel room or a camper. This is a TENT for CAMPING outside.... Basically, this dude doesn't like camping and doesn't know anything about camping equipment, sleep systems, etc haha
That's an American toolbox!
You know you f-ed up when you're bringing stuffed couch pillows to camping.
I’ve wanted an electric car for a few years now. Recently, though, someone said the EMF readings on the electric cars are horrible and as the driver, you’re just sitting on the battery getting exposed at close range for hours.
I need a counter argument for the next time this topic comes up. Thank you!
Who is that extremely attractive lady at your campsite?
Mount Washington, New Hampshire, is only 6,288 feet high. That should be a challenge for water bottles and the like but is pretty minor compared to mountains in the west.
"Harbor Freight"? There's no need for that kind of language.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a real EV truck with a hard cap or something and a sliding rear window?
terrible design. first tesla product that I thought was absolutely silly with exception of cyberhammer. that was still silly but slightly less silly than a $ 3000 useless tent.
If the world's richest individual can sleep on the factory floor, I guess we can all sacrifice ourselves and sleep in a rolling toaster oven.
If you're not an engineer or mechanic then go ahead and get any other tent!
Elon endorsed trump. I don’t want to drive a political car or truck 👎
