Detachable space-age sleeping pod turns Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck into INCREDIBLE campervan – but there’s a catch

TESLA is currently causing quite a stir in the sales charts, turning heads and outselling its posh German rivals.

One Tesla model that hasn't arrived yet but that people are eagerly anticipating is the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk reckons will go on sale sometime next year in 2023.

Some people are saying the electric truck might never arrive - but one company who clearly thinks it will is Space Campers.

This American firm has been designing an incredible pod for the back of the Cyber Truck that turns it into a campervan.

The wedge-shaped pod sits on top of the Cybertruck's load bay and can be fitted and removed in seconds with the right kit.

A flip-up roof then provides up to eight feet of standing space. Space Campers also says a double bed can be folded down from the roof section for a great night's sleep.

And when you're not sleeping the bed can be folded away to leave space for a small sink and kitchen top, an induction cooker, water heater, fridge-freezer, a desk and small seating area for remote working.

Of course, unlike a combustion-engined truck which needs its fuel or an external generator to make the electricity that powers any camping equipment, the Cybertruck's large battery has it covered.

Space Campers has also included a solar roof, interior lighting, four electrical outlets, an adjustable awning, a built-in exhaust vent and keyless entry.

Optional extras include a roof rack, thermal padded flooring, a built-in movie projector and an outside shower enclosure complete with a portable toilet.

There is a catch to all this though - the Space Campers Cybertruck sleeping pod isn't cheap.

It's on sale in the US for $24,000, or the thick end of £20,000 for us here in the UK, and that's before you've had to ship it over.

You can leave a refundable deposit now and the more you spend the more priority your order will be given plus other perks.
