It’s camping, but not as we know it.

Future Tesla Cybertruck owners have the chance to turn their vehicles into micro-homes on wheels, thanks to an amazing attachment. Though it doesn’t come cheap.

U.S company Form Camper has designed a fully detachable £51,824 ($69,500) accessory for Mr Musk’s much-hyped truck that’s equipped with a shower, a double bed, a kitchen and a living area.   +17View gallery

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Cybertruck for the first time in November 2019 and famously managed to shatter two of the vehicle’s ‘bulletproof’ windows during the launch event. Pause0:00 / 0:00Full-screenAn error has occurred, please try again laterError code 200

The prototype hit the streets of Manhattan in May of this year, leading hundreds of New Yorkers to line up outside the Tesla showroom to catch a rare glimpse of it. 

Last month, addressing shareholders at Tesla’s annual meeting, Musk said the vehicle will go into ‘volume production’ in 2023, rather than in 2022, as originally predicted.

Musk said that ‘several supply chain shortages’ were the cause behind the delay, with prices set for around £29,839 ($40,000) to £52,225 ($70,000) in the US.

The all-electric truck’s body is based on a 1976 Lotus Esprit sports car Musk owned in 2013 and the rest of the design pulls inspiration from vehicles in Blade Runner, Mad Max, Back to the Future and Alien.

The camping accessory, called ‘Form’ – and the brainchild of a group of industrial designers and engineers from California – is designed to slot into the truck bed of the Cybertruck, folding away until it’s activated. +17View gallery

The creators describe the attachment as a ‘modern-day stress-free camper’, adding that ‘Form is spacious, lightweight, and solar powered’ 

A rendered video of the design shows the attachment opening up and extending out from the bed of the truck. Tent-like nylon awnings emerge from either side of the vehicle, creating a porch space.

Inside, the bed – which is fitted with hidden storage space – can be turned into a single or a double depending on the user’s whims. Campers sleep on a memory foam mattress, lying under a vaulted ceiling.

The camper features a Nebia shower and a compact cassette toilet, which has a portable tank. The toilet space is separated from the rest of the camper by a curtain, and, when not in use, the toilet area is turned into a cushioned bench.  +17View gallery

Inside the ‘Form’ attachment, campers can avail themselves of the Dometic fridge (pictured on the left) 

For dining, campers can avail themselves of the Dometic fridge and stove and the ‘high-end cookware’ in the kitchen space. 

Part of the kitchen is external, with a sink and cutlery drawer sitting under the awning, and a foldaway chair and table have been built into the furnishings.

Solar panels are built into the design, offering 400 watts of power. Overall, the camper has 71 sq ft (6.7 m sq) of floor space – 38 sq ft (3.5 m sq) of which is at the level of the truck bed.

According to its makers, it will have a dry weight of approximately 1,000lbs (454 kilos), which will impact the range of the truck by less than five per cent.+17View gallery

The attachment isn’t just compatible with the Cybertruck – it’s designed to work with the majority of pick-up trucks, such as the Ford F-150 or the Chevrolet Silverado.

The company describes the attachment as a ‘modern-day stress-free camper’, adding that the ‘Form is spacious, lightweight, and solar powered’.

The idea for the design came one year before Musk first unveiled the Cybertruck. 

The Form Camper creators acquired a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and started imagining how they could transform it into a motorhome.

‘Sprinter camper vans generally cost well over six figures and unless you’re ready to live out of your van on a more permanent basis, most of them end up being used in limited ways. 

‘That got us thinking that there were opportunities to modernize and make the camper experience more flexible and enjoyable.’

The ‘Form’ attachments will be shipped directly to buyers’ homes. Form Camper predicts the first models will be shipped ‘in the latter half of 2022’. +17View gallery

The ‘Form’ isn’t the only attachment that sets out to give the Cybertruck a camping twist. In April, the ‘CyberLandr’ was unveiled by founders Lance King and Bill French. 

This is a non-detachable attachment, installed in the truck bed. The design features underfloor heating, WiFi and a sink with a voice-controlled tap.
