Camping with Elon Musk: The Tesla Cybertruck as a camper van

Tesla's pick-up model is not yet on the market, but another company is already offering to convert it into a camper. The Cybertruck thus becomes a space camper.

Elon Musk is reported to have said that the design of the Cybertruck has been finalized. He is also said to have promised that it will go on sale in 2023. Those are two rather vague pieces of news. A Californian startup called Space Campers goes one better and promises to give the Cybertruck a camper conversion.

The vehicle, which looks like an update of a vehicle from the movie Mad Max, contains a fold-up double bed, a stove, a shower and a toilet, all matching the brute look of the Cybertruck. The furnishings are modular, the apartment can be transformed into an office and the furniture can be used as an outdoor lounge or a spacious dining table. Space Camper promises to realize customer wishes. This could be an intelligent fixation for mountain bikes, for example.

In its most expensive version, the Cybertruck should be able to travel over 500 miles on one battery charge or tow up to 3,500 kilos. It is not known what the cheapest version will look like. However, Tesla will not be able to keep to the bargain price of less than 40,000 dollars for the entry-level model. The Cybertruck had to overcome too many cost-increasing hurdles. The space campers estimate the expansion at 24,000 dollars and are already taking reservations. But first Tesla has to get the vehicle right.
