Depending on your requirements (e.g. are you planning on camping in hardcore places or just regular spots in fair weather), you could get not only the tent but all the rest of the camping gear as well for that price.
That walmart tent you buy for 50 aint a good tent, and will either leak like a sieve in the rain, or be so unbreathable as to become an unlivable humidity drenched hotbox from your perspiration and body heat.
Especially camping up in the mountains, the weather can change real fast. But I’m not gonna let a little rain stop me, that’s why tents have footprints and rain covers.
I have the 2 person version of that tent. It’s me through down pours and wind. The only thing more expensive tents have is easy of set up and tear down.
Ok, but like… You’re talking about people who’d waste money on buying a “cyber” truck in the first place. At that point it’s like people buying Apple products; it’s less about having the best possible version of the thing and more about having something from Tesla/Musk.
$3,000 will get you a really nice regular tent
Why spend it on a tiny little swag that sits on your ute back, I can do that already lol

You can get a good tent for $50, or a tarp and some rope for $30. You can get all your camping stuff for $1000. Less is more with camping.

You can certainly get a decent one for <$300 though. Which is an order of magnitude less than $3000.

These will last 20 years. They haven’t even changed the design.
Also, why are you camping in crazy ass weather? Like I said, a tarp is even cheaper and better when it’s hot.
Weather is a thing that happens when you’re outdoors.
Camping is not living outdoors permanently. You can choose the dates that you are outside and the place you go, so you can choose the weather too.
Sometimes people go for more than a single day, or you book weeks in advance and have to deal with whatever shit weather you get.
Weather can also suddenly change over a single day.

I know. This other dude doesn’t. Expensive camping gear is just lighter by a few oz. Just carry less.
500 dollars will get you a really nice regular tent.
3000 will get you a fucking glampers dream setup.
