When Elon Musk announced the Tesla Cybertruck, he announced a number of accessories, including a tent that could fit on the back of the truck.
It was called, "Basecamp,"and it could be yours for the low, low, low price of $3,000.00.It is now shipping, and it looks like it wasn't such a great deal:
Tesla has started shipping its ‘Basecamp’, a $3,000 tent designed for the back of the Cybertruck. It’s a bit of a disappointment as it looks nothing like what was originally unveiled.
......
One of them is Basecamp, a tent that fits in the back of the electric pickup truck. It was first announced with the original unveiling of the Cybertruck in 2019.
This looked like an interesting design with seemingly a rigid bottom half that matched the design of the truck.
The product became ‘Basecamp’ and was released for sale shortly after Tesla revealed the production version of the truck last year. It already seemed to be a lot less attractive design at that point.
This reminds me a lot of the diesel powered Supercharger stations, or the phony solar shingles, or the purchase of Solar City.
In less enlightened times, people like Musk, or Zuckerberg, or Andreeson, or Neumann, or Kalanick, or Masayoshi Son, etc. would be in the dock for fraud and other law breaking.
It makes me nostalgic.
