500 dollars will get you a really nice regular tent.
3000 will get you a fucking glampers dream setup.

Why spend it on a tiny little swag that sits on your ute back, I can do that already lol

Ok, but like… You’re talking about people who’d waste money on buying a “cyber” truck in the first place. At that point it’s like people buying Apple products; it’s less about having the best possible version of the thing and more about having something from Tesla/Musk.

Depending on your requirements (e.g. are you planning on camping in hardcore places or just regular spots in fair weather), you could get not only the tent but all the rest of the camping gear as well for that price.

You can get a good tent for $50, or a tarp and some rope for $30. You can get all your camping stuff for $1000. Less is more with camping.

That walmart tent you buy for 50 aint a good tent, and will either leak like a sieve in the rain, or be so unbreathable as to become an unlivable humidity drenched hotbox from your perspiration and sweat.

You can certainly get a decent one for <$300 though. Which is an order of magnitude less than $3000.

These will last 20 years. They haven’t even changed the design.
Also, why are you camping in crazy ass weather? Like I said, a tarp is even cheaper and better when it’s hot.

If you’re taking that shitty truck, from early reports, you aren’t going to anywhere hardcore. Maybe the park down the street.
