Comment on Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek

They could have had an option for a bed tent duct and wireless temperature sensor so you are only regulating the tent, but the cost and design investment for a low adoption option would not make it viable.
In any case, trying to regulate the temperature of an uninsulated tent would destroy battery life and there would be tons of cyber trucks stuck in camping sites with dead batteries.
If you want heating and cooling when camping, get a trailer or camper.

If you’re at a campsite with hookups you don’t need to use battery for HVAC.

It is the minority of campsites that have shore power.
Regardless, why would you take a truckbed tent camping and want HVAC? If you have a $100k truck with 11,000lbs towing capacity and want HVAC at a site with shore power, you tow a trailer.
