The first Cybertrucks have barely had time to break in their tires on the open road, yet we already have a collaboration aimed at making Elon Musk’s already-infamous pickup truck more utilitarian, and — dare I say — cool.

December Heimplanet, makers of unique tents and outdoor dwellings, announced its collaboration with Tesla: the Cybertruck Basecamp. What looks to be part spaceship, part tent is almost certainly all rad. Here’s the latest.

If it hasn’t become obvious yet, the Cybertruck Basecamp is made specifically for the Cybertruck; it comes with the bells and whistles one would associate with the still-mysterious ride.

The Cybertruck Basecamp is built using a geodesic air-frame design, and can be manually inflated in minutes with a hand pump. There are no poles required, thanks to the air-frame design; and once it’s on your Cybertruck, deployment looks to be a breeze.

Made from a kaleidoscope nylon cover material, the inside of the basecamp comes with a soft mattress for cozy sleeping quarters, and the tent features both screen windows and an extendable awning for airflow and views. As a bonus, the Cybertruck Basecamp gives campers access to the truck’s bed outlet, so you can charge your devices even while camping off-grid.

The tent mounts onto the Cybertruck above the truck bed, but below the tonneau cover, which will allow campers to maintain bed storage space while camping, and range whilst driving.

Tesla’s website says shipping and installation are included in the $2,975 purchase price, which is a bonus when you consider other camper shell/tent manufacturers often charge extra fees for delivery and installation.

Although Elon Musk has stated that the Cybertruck will not hit “full volume” production until 2024, the Cybertruck Basecamp is available now on Tesla’s site. If you like to plan ahead and don’t mind a Basecamp taking up space in your garage for the next foreseeable future, you can pick one up now by purchasing through the Tesla app.
