It takes me 5 minutes to set up my $100 popup tent which seems to be made of more sturdy material.

        You buy the type of handmade tents they use to climb Mt. Everest for less than the cyber tent. It's such an amazing scam. Almost gotta hand it to 'em.

          For $3000 I could buy a whole top tier camping set that would last me several decades. Outside of "you can sleep on Mount Everest", I can't imagine what functionality a $3000 tent could include that a $300 tent lacks. This is better than them selling the spare tyre as a $1250 add-on which takes up half the truck bed and has been out of stock for weeks: https://shop.tesla.com/product/cybertruck-spare-tire-_-tool-kit

            I've paid $160 for a tent that we once used to fix my mother's volvo's transmission because it was raining and the car fit into the tent

            The repair took less time than this guy's attempt

            But you can "Engage Tent Mode on your vehicle's touchscreen for an enhanced camping experience"!

            100%. I don't think I've spent more than $2K, let alone $3K on my family's current camping gear from tent to cooler and everything in between.

      Also judging from the pictures and general weather trends he could have literally not and just slept on the ground and been better off.

      And before somebody says "what if it rained" that probablly would have voided the bazingatrucks warranty.
