The way it said:

The product became ‘Basecamp’ and was released for sale shortly after Tesla revealed the production version of the truck last year. It already seemed to be a lot less attractive design at that point. Now, Tesla has started shipping, or rather installing, the Basecamp for early Cybertruck owners.

(Emphasis mine) made me think it got worse after the design changes at sale time, but maybe I misinterpreted it.

Here are the press shots from when it was announced for sale at the of end last year. They’re the press shots they’re still using to promote the product 3 months later.

The article is basically saying that when the tent was announced for sale, the design changed and it was much less exciting than the early concepts. Some people bought them anyway, fully knowing that they were no longer something with stainless steel sides.

Now that they have arrived, the reality of the lacklusterness has now really set in.
