Tesla is gearing up for the Cybertruck's first delivery event on November 30, but it isn't the only company stirring excitement. The stainless steel beast is set to open up a new frontier for camping enthusiasts, with third-party manufacturers already crafting gear to turn this futuristic vehicle into the ultimate adventure companion.

The Advent of Cybertruck Camping Gear

With its robust and versatile design, the Cybertruck is an ideal candidate for outdoor escapades. Tesla's emphasis on the truck's adaptability was showcased through a custom-made tool rack at a recent Tesla event. Though this rack was specifically designed for the occasion, it gave a glimpse into the Cybertruck's potential as a base for various accessories, including camping gear.

Third-party manufacturers are creating an array of accessories tailored for the Cybertruck. These range from lightweight and aerodynamic truck bed campers to solar-powered charging stations, all designed to complement the electric vehicle's aesthetics and performance while ensuring that adventurers can venture out without worrying about their carbon footprint or the nearest charging station.

One such pioneering addition is the CAMP365 T Model truck bed camper, explicitly engineered with the Cybertruck in mind. This innovative camper is a game-changer for Tesla enthusiasts looking to meld the thrill of exploration with the sustainability and performance of their electric vehicles.

The Cybertruck's anticipated accessory mounting points will allow for easy installation of third-party gear, ensuring that enthusiasts can personalize their vehicles for their individual adventure needs. This feature promises a seamless integration of camping modules, further solidifying the Cybertruck's position as a versatile electric utility vehicle.

Elevating the Camping Experience

CAMP365 aligns perfectly with Tesla's ethos of innovation and sustainability. The T Model camper is a testament to this synergy, offering a travel solution that promises minimal impact on the Cybertruck's range — a crucial feature for the electric adventurer. Weighing in at just 700-800 lbs, the T Model's aerodynamic design ensures that range anxiety doesn't hinder the call of the wild.

Designed to complement the Cybertruck's aesthetic and functionality, the T Model expands from a sleek 4' x 7' size in the truck bed to a spacious 9' x 7' living area. This expansion reveals a 63 sq ft interior that comfortably sleeps four to five people, all while maintaining an impressive 6' 8" headroom that mirrors the Cybertruck's spacious feel.

The T Model is not just a camper; it's a mobile high-tech haven. Equipped with amenities that make camping feel luxurious, it includes a hot water shower, a kitchenette with an induction cooktop, electric heat, air conditioning, and even Starlink internet connectivity. It integrates seamlessly with the Cybertruck, promising to be a head-turner at campsites and a topic of conversation among Tesla enthusiasts.

As the Cybertruck rolls out, so does the T Model from CAMP365, heralding a new wave of Tesla-compatible gear designed for the discerning, eco-minded traveler. With a starting price of $25,000 and production slated for the summer of 2024, this camper invites Cybertruck owners to venture beyond the beaten path without leaving a carbon footprint.

New Tesla Model Y Adds 4D Radar; Calls 911 If Child Left Behind, Increases Safety

Tesla’s refreshed Model Y is currently being manufactured as Tesla prepares for its first deliveries next month. While we’ve already seen quite a few cool new features, there’s more that has yet to be revealed. A recent video interview with Tesla’s engineering team hosted by Tesla Owners Silicon Valley reveals that the vehicle includes a new 4D cabin radar.

4D Radar

While Tesla has included an in-cabin radar since 2022, this appears to be a new, more capable radar. The current cabin radar is used to verify seat occupancy, but Tesla plans to add more functionality to this new system.

This updated radar will be used to provide a lot more detail than the current radar or cabin camera can provide today. The radar is located in the same location as the current version, directly above the rearview mirror.

Classify Passenger Size

This new radar has several new safety-focused features, and they’re all quite exceptional. First off, the radar will detect and classify passenger size to determine which airbags to deploy dynamically. That means that if a shorter individual is sitting up front, the dashboard airbag may not activate - but the curtain airbag will.

That will reduce injuries in impacts from airbag activation while also reducing repair costs by not activating unnecessary airbags. By having a better idea of the passenger’s size, height, and weight, the vehicle can also better determine when to activate the airbag.

Children Left in Car

But that’s not all - because of that classification system, the radar can differentiate an adult passenger from a baby or child sitting in the second row - and automatically make the necessary dynamic safety adjustments.

The cabin radar will also detect heart rate and breathing, and Tesla will automatically send a reminder through the Tesla app if it detects a child is left unattended in the vehicle. If this occurs, the vehicle will perform a variety of functions, the first being to turn on the HVAC system and send you a reminder. And if that’s not enough - in the case of an emergency, your vehicle will automatically call emergency services for you and report its location.

It’s important to note that while vehicles outside North America have eCall capabilities, in North America, they cannot call 911 unless a phone is connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth. We hope that Tesla can contact 911 via an alternative method or add eCall capabilities to these vehicles.

In late 2023, Tesla added the ability for the vehicle to call 911 over Bluetooth when the vehicle is involved in a crash.

Coming Soon

While the refreshed Model Y will be shipping in March, this new radar and its associated features won’t be available immediately. Tesla intends to activate these new safety features in Q3 2025 - so sometime in late summer or early fall. We’ll dive into this new feature once it’s available later this year.

Tesla Confirms Update Issue for FSD V13.2.2; Fix Coming

By Karan Singh

A member of Tesla’s AI development team, Kalena Brown, took to X to mention that an update is on its way for AI 4 vehicles on older FSD V13.2 builds.

It seems that Tesla has caught an issue that has been preventing vehicles from safely updating from FSD V13.2.2 to newer builds such as FSD V13.2.4 or V13.2.6.

The Bug

Tesla usually catches these issues early in testing, but sometimes, they make their way out into the wild, necessitating a stop to a rollout. In this case, the rollout was likely halted to prevent this issue from spreading to other vehicles.

There have been a lot of comments on social media that users haven’t seen an update since late December or early January. While that’s not completely abnormal, this update, version 2024.45.25.5 includes an issue that prevents it from being updated.

The Fix

Brown says that Tesla is aware of the issue and is working hard to get a build with the fix released soon. It may be a couple of weeks before it’s ready, but you can expect Tesla to roll this one out slowly to make sure the issue is addressed.

The issue appears to be specific to FSD V13.2.2, so anyone on another update should not be affected. Keep an eye out on our feeds - and we’ll let you know once the update is released.
