CEO Elon Musk took to Twitter [to confirm]() that the Cybertruck will be able to power a camper or even a tiny home with its battery. When asked whether a user would be able to "plug my tiny house into the Cybertruck to power it," Musk answered with "yes." ## Stylish Trailer Tesla has already released renders of what looks like a Cybertruck with its own stylish trailer — but it didn't quite look like a camper, as [*Electrek* points out](). We'll have to wait and see what Tesla has in store for the Cybertruck. In December 2019, Musk said that his electric car company is planning a "[sick attachment for the Cybertruck]()," but didn't elaborate. The beastly truck will be able to tow up to 14,000 pounds of cargo and will feature a massive battery, giving the vehicle up to 500 miles of range, according to Tesla. ## Power Player That also means there will be plenty of power left over in the bank to power anything from lights to kitchen appliances. The RV community is pretty excited by the prospect. While the truck is set to only debut later this year, YouTuber "Motorhome man" already [designed himself]() a killer fifth-wheel camper trailer for the Cybetruck in December 2019. **READ MORE:** [Elon Musk: Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup will be able to power a camper]() \[*Electrek*\] **More on the Cybertruck:** *[Xbox Exec Suggests “Tesla x Halo” Collaboration]()* ## Author I've been at Futurism since 2017, where my role has evolved to encompass design, writing, and increasingly editing. I've always been fascinated by space exploration and advanced transportation, which I've leaned into by interviewing luminaries in those fields while closely following the dimensions of policy and regulation that allow next-generation projects to succeed -- or, sometimes, to fail. I'm also keenly interested in the effects of generative AI on society, policies, and democratic institutions, as well as clean energy, physics and biology, and the vagaries of tech leadership. My work for Futurism has been cited by publications including Ars Technica, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Jalopnik, Fox News, and the New York Post. I spent my childhood living in locations including Manila, the Philippines, and Geneva, Switzerland, attended McGill University, and now live in Toronto, Canada. Before Futurism I worked at AskMen and a small photography studio. In my free time, I'm an avid gardener, foodie, and craft beer lover, as well as a maker of artisanal hot pepper sauces. I have a magnificent dog named Freida. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
