Tesla Cybertruck gets another crazy camping mod perfect for the outdoors
The Tesla Cybertruck has attracted yet another crazy third-party modification from company Space Campers, which developed a “wedge-style” camper perfect for the great outdoors.
Built from aerospace-grade composites, Space Campers developed the wedge design to last a lifetime, with all of the most appropriate accessories for a weekend in the wild. The Space Campers’ new mod integrates with the Cybertruck for full access to the pickup’s bed, without sacrificing any aerodynamic advantages and maintaining the vehicle’s sleek design. It’s equipped with electrical outlets, dimmable lights, an induction cooktop, a portable cooler, and a water heater, among other accessories, all of which are compatible with the Cybertruck’s battery pack.

It even equips a Murphy-style bed that not only maintains interior space but also allows owners to tuck themselves in for a great night of sleep. It won’t be your normal night in a tent, that’s for sure. The bed is big enough for two people and tucks away to create sufficient standing room, and it even features detachable hinges to become an exterior table. Extensions can be installed to create benches or work surfaces, and an awning that is built into the design protects the wedge from severe weather while maintaining an open space to admire nature.
“Pull up anywhere and set up camp in minutes. With a flip of a switch, air-powered actuators use the Cybertruck’s onboard compressor to open or retract the camper with ease. It’s ready to go when you are, be it a trip down the coast or a lunchtime siesta.”
The Space Campers wedge designed for the Cybertruck will also allow for limitless personalization with plug-and-play accessory kits that can be installed at any point with normal household tools, the company said in a press release for the product. Replacement parts will be available online for straightforward repairs, given something goes wrong.
-->Your Space Camper for Cybertruck will include:
- All seasons tent with windows and awning conversion
- Telescoping awning poles for awning configuration
- Telescoping lockout bars for failsafe roof support
- Manual flip up backrest on bed
- Sidewall cubbies for storage and organization
- Integrated steps for easy bed access (on each side)
- Over cab storage cubbies (upgradeable to kitchenette and sink via accessory kits)
- Interior and exterior dimmable LED lights
- Independently dimmable detachable reading lights
- Keyless locking mechanism for advanced security
- Air actuated detachable murphy bed platform
- 4” memory foam mattress
- 120V outlets, USB, and 12V/24V
- L-track roof runners
- Multifunctional bed extensions (qty.2) that double as tables and benches
- Foam insulation throughout construction to eliminate condensation
- Integrated steps to roof (on each side)
It is not the first Cybertruck camping mod on the market, as the Cyberlandr and Loki Basecamp both hit the market shortly after the Tesla pickup’s unveiling in late 2019.
On the Shoulder of Giants: How the Tesla Cybertruck’s ambitious camper is willing itself into being
The Space Camper wedge for the Cybertruck will be available when the pickup rolls out early next year, according to Tesla’s estimates. Pre-orders are already being accepted at SpaceCampers.com, with early reservations securing priority fulfillment. It costs as little as $100 down, and the pre-sale price is currently listed at $24,000 before upgrades, which are currently limited to Stainless Steel Armor “for durability and heat shielding.”

Tesla Giga Berlin is still ramping production to meet Model Y demand: plant manager
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has expanded to two full shifts, as per the facility’s plant manager, and a lot of it is due to Model Y demand.
Tesla Gigafactory Berlin has expanded to two full shifts, as per the facility’s plant manager, and a lot of it is due to Model Y demand. While registrations in some countries such as Sweden have fallen sharply this year, the company’s sales in other key territories have been rising.
Giga Berlin shifts to two shifts
Giga Berlin factory manager André Thierig told the DPA that the facility has been running two shifts since September to manage a surge in global orders. And due to the tariff dispute with the United States, vehicles that are produced at Giga Berlin are now being exported to Canada.
“We deliver to well over 30 markets and definitely see a positive trend there,” Thierig said.
Despite Giga Berlin now having two shifts, the facility’s production still needs to ramp up more. This is partly due to the addition of the Tesla Model Y Performance and Standard, which are also being produced in the Grunheide-based factory. Interestingly enough, Giga Berlin still only produces the Model Y, unlike other factories like Gigafactory Texas, the Fremont Factory, and Gigafactory Shanghai, which produce more than one type of vehicle.
Norway’s momentum
Norway, facing an imminent tax increase on cars, has seen a historic spike in Tesla purchases as buyers rush to secure deliveries before the change takes effect, as noted in a CarUp report. As per recent reports, Tesla has broken Norway’s all-time annual sales record this month, beating Volkswagen’s record that has stood since 2016.
-->What is rather remarkable is the fact that Tesla was able to achieve so much in Norway with one hand practically tied behind its back. This is because the company’s biggest sales draw, FSD, remains unavailable in the country. Fortunately, Tesla is currently hard at work attempting to get FSD approved for Europe, a notable milestone that should spur even more vehicle sales in the region.
Tesla is launching a crazy Full Self-Driving free trial, which will enable owners who have not purchased the suite outright to try it for 30 days.
There are a handful of stipulations that will be needed in order for you to qualify for the free trial, which was announced on Thursday night.
Tesla said the trial is for v14, the company’s latest version of the Full Self-Driving suite, and will be available to new and existing Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, and Cybertruck owners, who will have the opportunity to try the latest features, including Speed Profiles, Arrival Options, and other new upgrades.
🚨 Tesla is launching a free 30-day trial of Full Self-Driving in North America for owners.
It includes every model, but you need v14.2 or later, and you cannot have already purchased the suite outright. https://t.co/8CNmxxOkVl
— TESLARATI (@Teslarati) November 27, 2025
You must own one of the five Tesla models, have Full Self-Driving v14.2 or later, and have an eligible vehicle in the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, or Canada.
The company said it is a non-transferable trial, which is not redeemable for cash. Tesla is reaching out to owners via email to give them the opportunity to enable the Full Self-Driving trial.
Those who are subscribed to the monthly Full Self-Driving program are eligible, so they will essentially get a free month of the suite.
Once it is installed, the trial will begin, and the 30-day countdown will begin.
Tesla is making a major push to increase its Full Self-Driving take rate, as it revealed that about 12 percent of owners are users of the program during its recent earnings call.
Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja said during the call:
“We feel that as people experience the supervised FSD at scale, demand for our vehicles, like Elon said, would increase significantly. On the FSD adoption front, we’ve continued to see decent progress. However, note that the total paid FSD customer base is still small, around 12% of our current fleet.”
Earlier today, we reported on Tesla also launching a small-scale advertising campaign on X for the Full Self-Driving suite, hoping to increase adoption.
Tesla Full Self-Driving warrants huge switch-up on essential company strategy
It appears most people are pretty content with the subscription program. It costs just $99 a month, in comparison to the $8,000 fee it is for the outright purchase.
Tesla Full Self-Driving has warranted a huge switch-up on an essential company strategy as the automaker is hoping to increase the take rate of the ADAS suite.
Unlike other automotive companies, Tesla has long been an outlier, as it has famously ditched a traditional advertising strategy in favor of organic buzz, natural word-of-mouth through its production innovation, and utilizing CEO Elon Musk’s huge social media presence to push its products.
Tesla has taken the money that it would normally spend on advertising and utilized it for R&D purposes. For a long time, it yielded great results, and ironically, Tesla saw benefits from other EV makers running ads.
Tesla counters jab at lack of advertising with perfect response
However, in recent years, Tesla has decided to adjust this strategy, showing a need to expand beyond its core enthusiast base, which is large, but does not span over millions and millions as it would need to fend off global EV competitors, which have become more well-rounded and a better threat to the company.
In 2024 and 2025, Tesla started utilizing ads to spread knowledge about its products. This is continuing, as Full Self-Driving ads are now being spotted on social media platforms, most notably, X, which is owned by Musk:

Interestingly, Tesla’s strategy on FSD advertising is present in Musk’s new compensation package, as the eleventh tranche describes a goal of achieving 10 million active paid FSD subscriptions.
Full Self-Driving is truly Tesla’s primary focus moving forward, although it could be argued that it also has a special type of dedication toward its Optimus robot project. However, FSD will ultimately become the basis for the Robotaxi, which will enable autonomous ride-sharing across the globe as it is permitted in more locations.
Tesla has been adjusting its advertising strategy over the past couple of years, and it seems it is focused on more ways to spread awareness about its products. It will be interesting to see if the company will expand its spending even further, as it has yet to put on a commercial during live television.
We wouldn’t put it out of the question, at least not yet.
