Tesla has launched a variety of accessories for the Cybertruck after its launch event on Thursday, where it handed over the first few units to customers.
Tesla finally released pricing, range, trim levels, and other specs for the Cybertruck, and now that the pickup is finally in the hands of those who have waited patiently for four years, accessories are also available.
Among the more notable picks in the Tesla Cybertruck shop are the Cybertruck BaseCamp, two different wrap options, storage solutions, and a tailgate ramp.
Tesla Cybertruck BaseCamp
Tesla’s Cybertruck BaseCamp is a great option for anyone who plans to use the vehicle for camping or similar outdoor activities:
“Bring your campsite with you on the road, featuring an ultra-light geodesic air-frame design, the Cybertruck BaseCamp Tent can be inflated in minutes using a manual pump without the need for any structural poles. A tactical grey kaleidoscope-patterned nylon interior keeps you safe from the elements, while screen windows allow for airflow to keep you comfortable. Relax on an ultra-soft mattress while taking in a view of the stars.”
Retailing for $2,975, the Cybertruck BaseCamp seems like a great accessory to have for anyone who plans to spend a few nights in the Cybertruck.

Tesla Cybertruck Wrap Options
Tesla Cybertruck wraps were all the speculation over the past few years. Elon Musk said we would be able to wrap the Cybertruck in any color or pattern a few years ago. For now, Tesla says Black or White will do.
-
“Wrap your Cybertruck in one of our premium color paint films, only available through Tesla. Offered in Satin Black and Satin White.”
Tesla is offering these wraps for $6,500, just a month or so after it started offering seven different wrap colors on the Model 3 and Model Y. Perhaps the colors will expand as the Cybertruck production ramp intensifies, but for now, these, along with a clear PPF, are what is available to customers.

Tesla Cybertruck Tailgate Ramp
Tesla is offering a tailgate ramp for people who want to load up a dirtbike, ATV, or other things into the bed of the Cybertruck.
This is a great option considering the company has evidently geared a lot of the products, and the truck in general, to those who have an appreciation of the great outdoors:
“Load it up, haul it out. The Cybertruck tailgate ramp makes loading and unloading easy. The lightweight ramp is easy to install and can be used individually to move hefty gear or in pairs to load four-wheel vehicles like Cyberquad.”

It’s also very nice to see that Tesla is still intending to develop the Cyberquad, based on the description of the product.
Other Accessories
Along with floormats, glass roof sunshades, storage trays, spare tire and tool kit, and bumper protectors.

Oh, and an “OMFG Decal,” that gives a nice ode to the shattered window that was caused by the metal ball Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen chucked at the window in 2019.
Not included in the accessories shop yet is the Range Extender that will be available for the Cybertruck.

Tesla has started to deploy the 2026 Summer Update to owners across its fleet, and among the biggest changes are improvements to Navigation, a new startup animation for the Model 3 and Model Y, Caraoke scoring, and new capabilities for Grok.
As the update has started making its way to some cars, we can now see a few of the features operating in real-time. We will show you what some of the new features look like in this article, along with some additional details on what changed.
Not all of the new features in the 2026 Summer Update have quite made an appearance, but some of them have, so we’ll show those here:
New Animation Screen for 3/Y
Tesla is rolling out a new startup animation for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners. This is present in Launch Edition and Performance Model 3 and Model Y, but other trim levels do not have anything like this.

Owners can adjust the color associated with the startup animation to suit their preferences. It is a surprise that more automakers do not focus on this animation for their vehicles; it can be a great first impression piece and make the car immediately feel more luxurious.
Tesla has included this on more premium trims, but it is nice to see it on the Model 3 and Model Y.
Grok Improvements
Grok can now adjust more things in the car outside of the Navigation system. Now, drivers can adjust anything from climate to driving settings by simply speaking to the AI assistant in the car:

You don’t even have to push a button, either. Instead, you can just say “Hey, Grok,” if you have it enabled. That feature rolled out with the 2026 Spring Update just a few months back.
-
This is a great feature, especially pertinent for the Robotaxi platform, as there will be no buttons inside the Cybercab when it eventually starts giving rides to the public. It also broadens Grok’s capabilities, which were relatively limited in terms of vehicle setting adjustments beforehand.
Tesla briefly offered one Robotaxi part in its Parts Catalog for your personal car, only to remove it just a short time after it was first noticed.
Tesla’s Robotaxi camera washer apparatus was briefly available for purchase on the company’s Online Parts Catalog. The camera washer was first noticed on Model Y Robotaxi vehicles about six months ago in Austin.

First noticed by Not a Tesla App, the Camera Washer entries appeared for the new “Juniper” Model Y under a category called “Halo,” which has also now disappeared. Interestingly, Halo probably is related to Tesla’s internal “Project Halo,” which was a project that aimed to retrofit customer-owned Model Ys into functional Robotaxis.
This hardware addition would likely be required for the vehicle to operate as a Robotaxi, as the Camera Washer seems to be a non-negotiable part of the vision-based system Tesla utilizes for self-driving efforts.
However, this part has since been removed and is no longer visible on the EPC.
-
Now the true question lingers: Why would Tesla add this Camera Washer to the Model Y parts catalog? Is it planning to make it available for owners to utilize on their own cars for personal use, or will it become a prerequisite for Robotaxi operation in customer-owned cars?
While discussing the upgrade options for Hardware 3 vehicles during the Q1 Earnings Call, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had said that the company could establish small, satellite shops that would upgrade cameras and self-driving computers. Perhaps this same strategy could be utilized for vehicles that want to be included in Robotaxi but do not have the correct hardware.
AI4 is currently represented as capable of unsupervised self-driving, and the same was said about HW3 at one point, only for Tesla to admit last quarter that it would, unfortunately, not be possible. Perhaps AI4 vehicles might need this camera washer as a prerequisite, just as HW3 cars will need that camera and computer upgrade.
This could be the first hint of that’s where we are headed.
Tesla has started rolling out a broader change to the ride experience for its Robotaxi fleet by silencing turn signals, but the change is certainly polarizing.
Tesla has generally made it clear that its purpose-built ride-hailing platform, Robotaxi, will cater to the rider in nearly every way possible. This includes having climate preferences, music, and other personal settings loaded up in the car as the rider enters.
But Tesla is taking it a step further by muting turn signal chimes altogether, a change that appears to be a way to make the ride more peaceful:
Tesla has finally turned off the blinker/turn signal noises in their Model Y Robotaxis.
This is a small update, but will definitely be noticeable for riders. It didn’t really make much sense to leave the turn signal sound on when it’s Unsupervised. pic.twitter.com/ITwx60PAMO

However, there are a handful of people who are not thrilled about this change. Turn signals are a conditioned part of the human mind for those who ride in a car regularly.
-
Taking a turn without one feels strange and odd, and not hearing it click while activated could set off some alarms for riders, who might use the noise as confirmation that other drivers know of their intention to turn.
I kind of like it being on, threw me off when riding with Zoox who has had it disabled
— Dan Burkland (@DBurkland) July 27, 2026
Turn signal noises are still audible in customer cars, so if you use FSD in your personal vehicle, you will still hear the turn signal.
The move is certainly one that is unique, but not one that separates it from other ride-sharing services. In a normal car, the clicking sound confirms to the driver that the blinker is active. In a fully driverless Robotaxi, that feedback serves no purpose for passengers, other than peace of mind.
