They could have just bought a Porsche Taycan with the roof tent with that Cubertruck money.

TIL: the cybertruck has a tent. WHY!

[–] Taalen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it's an accessory you can buy. The quality seems to be on par with the rest of the thing.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

It was advertised as a hard top too. They made it a basic ass tent that doesn't even work.

I recently found out that this is a surprisingly common option for new cars.

Its having “pc beeper comes with the case and not the motherboard” vibes to me. Something legacy.

The Aztec wasn’t ugly in the right configuration and even if it was ugly, it was at least practical and affordable

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You can't call the Aztec ugly when You compare it to the ugliest car in history. Except the Fiat Multipla of course.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The good thing about an ugly car is you don't see it when you sit inside.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

From what I saw, the cybertruck is also ugly on the inside.

As a former boy scout, my least favorite kind of person to go camping with is anyone who never bothered to figure out how any of their gear works. They inevitably show up in the dark and gripe about stuff like it's in Swedish Ikea directions format, start off the first day grumpy as hell cause they froze their asses off on the hard ground and didn't get any sleep. What's worse is this turns them against the prospect of ever visiting the outdoors again and they leave the gear to rot in their garage instead of donating it to someone more responsible and with a more enthusiastic joie de vivre than them, namely small, poor children.

Similar experiences with me except army.

Load all their Gucci kit into a ruck. March 12km out to the middle of bumfuck nowhere huffing and puffing cause your shit weighs 80lbs before they gave you ammo, water and rations. Now you're wearing battle rattle and hiking up Mount Fuckyou carrying a load of bullshit.

Get to the bivouac, drop your shit and you didn't bother to figure out how your new inflatable mattress works instead of a foam hobo-pad the army issues you... Oh and you forgot to pack your bivvie bag and the ground is wet so you're trying to suck and fuck your way into someone's spare kit... Oh and you didn't bring a headlamp for sentry duty and now I gotta explain the the Sarge why my 2IC is such a useless bag of milk and needs to see a medic cause they cooked their lower back lugging their kitchen sink up a mountain for a three day mission.

Motherfucker, if you listened to me and packed the bare essentials and threw your spare kit in the truck you wouldn't be having this problem. Next time, make sure your goddamn flashlight has batteries and no, you can't use my battery pack to charge your cellphone. If my phone dies what am I gonna look at while baking in the 40°C blue rocket? The same childish graffiti of cocks? Brother, I drew those cocks. I don't need to look at them.

Might I add: My ass is 230lbs and I ain't got a gat dang problem lugging my shit up there. Yet these young dumb lads think they're the Morningstar's gift to the corps and yet here they are crying to me that their balls are so chafed they're bleeding.

[–] grahamja@reddthat.com 14 points 1 day ago

People who don't ever use their toys prior to executing the camping trip are probably amateurs in more ways than just camping.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 84 points 1 day ago (4 children)

IKEA instructions are clear, concise, and complete. A better comparison would be Chinese flatpack trash from Wayfair with poorly photocopied diagrams, inscrutable Engrish, and missing steps.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I use IKEA directions as a barometer for basic problem solving skills. They're designed to use universal symbols and no wording so anyone can follow them. If you can't follow those directions, well... It's not the instructions that are the problem.

I learned to cherish IKEA instructions after my first and last experience with those.

[–] Bonus@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago

Very precise. I do technical drawings for fabricators and Ikea is the sort of gold standard, for exploded assemblies views anyhow. What I was getting at was another layer of insufferability which is the people that complain about instructions which can't be any more clear, just because they are bellyachers.

If you can't figure out how to build a tent (in the dark or not), camping clearly is not for you, or anything that requires the mental capability of an adult for that matter. That shit really is not hard.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Seriously. I don't think I've ever encountered anything more complex than: extendo poles make X, tent clips go on X, stake into ground.

As a former scout myself, I am perfectly fine with just a sleeping bag on the ground unless it is likely to precipitate in any way. But I could also build a simple shelter using materials from around the area if I really had to.

[–] Sparrow_Joint@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In North Ontario, the black flies want to know your next campsite location.

[–] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I got a really nice bivvie bag with a single tent pole and an integral bug net. It has been fantastic when the deer flies wanna know what your eyelids taste like.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Could you build a waterproof shelter using found materials?

Rope and plastic sheeting would be a minimum requirement for me.

The funniest part about this is that the Aztec is usually considered "ugly".

But when you compare it to a cybertruck... It looks like a masterpiece.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

No joke, it's basically a vehicle to rest your eyes upon in such context.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago

As ugly as the Aztek is, it's gorgeous next to that stainless steel doorstop.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 101 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder if dude actually made it home, as those things aren't designed to leave pavement.

[–] match@pawb.social 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hear he hit a 1-meter patch of ice and the cybertruck spontaneously combusted.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

You jest, but their warranty is literally invalid off pavement.

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I unironically like the Aztec. Function over form.

[–] treno_rosso 6 points 1 day ago

Well the Cybertruck ist asstech in it's own way.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 48 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I miss my old Pontiac Aztec, I had this tent and inflatable mattress. This cars truck space was huge!!

Honestly it was the ugliest car, but also the best car.

Center consoles air conditioning "nipples" were the best.

I am not into camping so I'm not sure, but isn't the point to get away from density/people/etc? There's so many cars there. Am I missing something (aside from an appreciation for nature up close)?

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It mentions a bike ride the next day, so it's probably just something that's out in the middle of nowhere and starts pretty early. They'll often have an area for participants to camp for the night instead of driving out in the early morning.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

depressingly it's very very popular (at least here in sweden) to go """"camping"""" at what is basically trailer parks but for house cars (not literal mobile homes) where you stay a couple of nights at a time at most.

It just feels like the typical suburban mindset really.

[–] falk1856@midwest.social 20 points 1 day ago

In the US those are "RV Parks". They're pretty good if you you're traveling with kids and want to give them the opportunity to meet other kids and play with whatever amenities the park has. Camping in a state or national park is better if you want to more space and a more natural experience. Areas in some nattional forests are available to camp in for free as long as you don't stay in the same place for more than a week and clean up after yourself.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never understood it. Just go sleep in the RV in your driveway, why drive it a few hours to pay to park in someone else's multi-car driveway?

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

because it's next to the ocean, or somesuch

i have to assume that these places are mostly used by people out on a roadtrip, because the idea of someone who lives nearby taking their housecar there instead of just renting a cabin is very sad..

Car camping is its own thing with its own distinct culture from backpackers who hike out into the wilderness to camp.

a $3000 car tent? there is no fucking way.

[–] brap@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Rooftop tents quite comfortably hit that figure - but this is probably outclassed by a couple of pool noodles and a tarp.

Probably first time doing it and he didn’t even try at home before going camping. When those foldable kayaks started popping out on Amazon, I saw a couple arriving with two at a lake. They spent like 20 minutes trying to assemble them and ended up giving up.

Here's a shortish video showing setup.. Man it looks like a fiddly process.

https://youtu.be/VOQGEZ_N2oY

[–] BroccoLemuria@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Indeed it looks really complex, half way through the video I was already lost.

It's crazy not just that you have to manually pump it yourself, but why does it even have a "camping program" that you have to engage? It does nothing other than revealing the tray with the tent gear. There's so many steps involved, why did they think that was the one that required automating?

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

That looks insane. It's held up by clamping onto the metal flashing of the door, instead of to the frame, the flashing held on by fucking glue. I also love how they show the electric plugs, but you have to use a bicycle pump to inflate.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

LOL, all that electricity in the "truck" and they give you a manual bike pump to inflate the damn thing‽
