In the realm of electric pickup trucks, Tesla's Cybertruck has captured the spotlight not only for its futuristic design but also for its cutting-edge technology and features. Initial reviews are pouring in, and they unanimously confirm that Tesla has spared no effort in equipping the Cybertruck with the best tech the company has to offer.
Hagerty's Jason Cammisa, in his review, intriguingly points out that the Cybertruck's appearance, often considered radical, is the least revolutionary aspect of the vehicle. The real game-changer lies beneath the surface, particularly for outdoor enthusiasts and campers.
During the Cybertruck's first delivery event, Tesla showcased videos demonstrating the all-electric pickup truck conquering a variety of terrains. The company's website also unveiled accessories tailored for adventurous souls, with one standout item being the Basecamp—a $2,975 collapsible tent that inflates within minutes, designed specifically for the Cybertruck.
Hey Elon, quick question,

Can the truck independently adjust suspension (in park) to level the truck for camping off road?
Given the Cybertruck's off-road capabilities, curiosity arose among electric vehicle enthusiasts regarding its camping features. Recognizing that some campers might park the Cybertruck on uneven ground, questions emerged about the vehicle's ability to level itself for a comfortable camping experience.
In a response to a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Elon Musk confirmed that the Cybertruck will indeed feature an independent suspension adjustment, ensuring the vehicle levels itself optimally for camping purposes. Much like other functionalities, this feature is expected to be delivered through a convenient over-the-air software update when ready.
Tesla's commitment to enhancing the camping experience is not new. Previous Tesla models, including the original Model S and even the compact Model 3, have proven to be excellent companions for camping enthusiasts. The Model S, over a decade old, impressed with its ability to accommodate a twin mattress in the rear. The Model 3, Tesla's smallest vehicle, has also demonstrated its camper-friendly qualities.
As anticipation builds for the Cybertruck's official release, it is evident that Tesla is striving to make it the ultimate vehicle for camping adventures. The promise of advanced camping features, coupled with the vehicle's robust off-road capabilities, positions the Cybertruck as a potential game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a seamless blend of technology and nature. Stay tuned as Tesla continues to redefine the electric vehicle landscape, catering not only to city drivers but also to those who crave the great outdoors.
