All brands that sell six-figure vehicles do it, after all. So the fact that [Tesla]() now sells a cooler with a [Cybertruck]()-style design isn't surprising. What *is* surprising is that it's pretty lame, as far as coolers go, and it sort of looks like a cyberpunk toilet tank. Oh, and it costs $700. At face value, the [Cybertruck Cooler]() isn't that terrible of a deal, even with its eye-watering price tag. Insulated coolers aren't cheap, regardless of brand, and Tesla's has a stainless steel exterior veneer, to match the truck's infamous body panels. It's also shaped to perfectly fit in the frunk of the Cybertruck. A similarly sized Yeti cooler with stainless steel cladding costs $800, so Tesla's price isn't terrible. Although, the aforementioned Yeti is slightly more capacious and is a more usable shape. Tesla's does come with two little dividers, so Cybertruck owners can keep their hard seltzers away from their caned spritzes, though. Can we also talk about the label on the "[Cyberbeers]()" pictured in the cooler? They look like they're made for the cult from *Yellowjackets*. ![]() ![]() ![]() **Tesla** The shape of the cooler is inherently compromised for drink storage, too. Since it's made to fit neatly in the truck's frunk, its dimensions aren't ideal for taller bottles and it has too many corners, which will make stacking cans more of a challenge. So it's never going to be as useful as a purpose-built cooler, especially since it lacks the pull-down latches that keep most lids tightly closed during transport, as well as wheels or any other helpful features that most high-end coolers have. If you're buying one of these, it's because you want it to fit perfectly in the frunk without taking up space in the bed—*and* you also want to stay on brand. (Although, if the Cybertruck had a halfway-decent bed, the former wouldn't be a problem.) Additionally, legacy brands have it beat, as the [Ford F-150 Lightning]() and [Chevy Silverado EV]() contain rubber-lined frunks with drain plugs specifically so they can double as massive coolers. As dorky as this Cybertruck Cooler is, I do get it. Its price isn't entirely unreasonable considering how expensive coolers are and how typically overpriced car company gear is. It's big enough at 56 quarts, and it doesn't take up any bed space. It's far from the most egregious automotive accessory I've seen. Still it seems silly to spend $700 on a cooler, especially when it looks more like something you'd see in a plumbing supply store in Mega-City One than something made to store beverages. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
