Enhancing Your Tesla Cybertruck: EVBase Door Pocket Accessory Review
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a proud owner of a Tesla Cybertruck like me, you know it's a beast of a vehicle packed with innovative features. But let's be real—it's not perfect. One small oversight I've noticed is the lack of a proper door pocket on the side panels. That empty space just begs for some organization, right? Enter EVBase, a company that's stepping up with clever accessories to fix these little pain points. In this post, I'll walk you through my unboxing, installation, and honest thoughts on their Cybertruck door pocket accessory. (Full disclosure: I'll link to it at the end if you're interested in grabbing one.)
The Problem: Missing Door Storage in the Cybertruck
The Cybertruck's door sides have this open cavity that's basically a black hole for your stuff. If you toss in your phone, wallet, or keys, they just slide straight to the bottom and get lost in the abyss. I've had this issue in other vehicles before, and it's always frustrating. Wouldn't it be great to have a simple pocket to keep things handy and organized? That's exactly what EVBase aimed to solve with this accessory.
Unboxing the EVBase Door Pocket
The package arrived compact and straightforward—perfect for a quick install. Inside, you'll find a simple yet effective plastic insert designed to fit snugly into that door cavity. It's lightweight, with a thoughtful rubber lining at the bottom to prevent items from rattling around. Think of it as a mini organizer that turns wasted space into something useful.
I have to say, it's so basic that you could probably 3D print something similar if you're into DIY projects. But the convenience of a ready-made, vehicle-specific piece from EVBase makes it worth it. The rubber base is a nice touch—it cushions your keys or phone and keeps noise to a minimum while driving.
Installation: Quick and Easy (With a Few Caveats)
Installing this accessory is a breeze, but let's break it down step by step:
-
Prep the Area: If you have any existing side organizers (like I did), you might need to remove them temporarily. I had one on my door, but it wasn't a big deal to pop it out.
-
Insert the Pocket: The piece wedges in from the bottom of the door cavity. Just push it up gently until it fits securely. It's designed to stay put without any clips or snaps—purely a friction fit.
-
Test It Out: Once in place, it creates a neat little pocket. I tested it with my phone, and it held up nicely. However, it's not flush with the door card, so there's a slight gap underneath.
On the driver's side, I installed it similarly, and it wedged in firmly. The whole process took less than a minute per side.
My Honest Feedback: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Convenience: This is in a prime spot for quick access—perfect for phones, wallets, or small essentials.
- Noise Reduction: The rubber bottom keeps things quiet.
- Affordable Fix: It's a simple solution to a real annoyance in the Cybertruck's design.
Cons:
- Stability Concerns: There's no top hook or snap mechanism, so if you push too hard or put heavy items in, it could slip through. My side organizer actually helped prop it up from below, preventing a full drop.
- Not for Heavy Duty: Stick to lightweight items; it's not built for anything bulky.
Overall, it's a solid addition if you're looking to maximize storage without major modifications. I've been using it daily, and it's already making my drives more organized.
Final Thoughts
The EVBase door pocket is one of those 'why didn't Tesla include this?' accessories that just makes sense. It's not revolutionary, but it's practical and fills a gap (literally). If you're tired of your stuff disappearing into the door void, give this a shot. You can find it here on EVBase's site—use my link for any current deals.
