Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla Cybertruck owners will be able to drive a camper with their electric pickups.
At the unveiling of the Cybertruck, Tesla announced some impressive specs, including a range of up to 500 kilometers and a towing capacity of up to 14,000 pounds:
With the ability to reach an infinite mass and a towing capacity of over 14,000 pounds, Cybertruck can easily act in almost any extreme situation.
That kind of capacity will enable the Tesla Cybertruck to tow a range of trailers and campers to the exhaust pipe without emissions.
This got many people excited about the prospect of traveling with a Cybertruck and a camper using the large battery pack of the electric pickup to move and live.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed on Twitter today that the Cybertruck will have the ability to power a camper:
This would mean that Cybertruck could have some two-way loading capacity on top of the power points at the rear.
The power supplies have already been considered useful for a camping situation, and Tesla has already unveiled a camping setup for the Cybertruck, but you need more power for a larger situation like a full camper.
In combination with a deployable solar system on the camper, someone can have a setup that allows them to go camping with Cybertruck outside the camp.
Musk said Tesla was planning a “sick trailer for the Cybertruck,” and the carmaker released this version of the electric pickup with its own trailer, but it did not look like a camper.
Regardless of whether Tesla comes out with its own camper for the Cybertruck, the electric pickup will likely be used by some owners with third-party campers.
Model 3 has already spurred several businesses focusing on the market and focused on the vehicle, and Cybertruck has the potential to do the same.
We reported earlier on someone who was already working on a custom five-wheeled trailer for the Tesla Cybertruck.
The Tesla Cybertruck will currently be in production by the end of 2021, although the carmaker has indicated that delays in 2022 will not be too surprising.
