The all-electric trailer changing how you travel.
The L1 was tightly engineered for zero emissions, for comfort, and built to last. We started with aero principles to create a near-zero range loss for EVs and lower costs at the gas pump. From the battery and solar roof down to appliances, every decision was about ease of use. And of course, relaxing just outside natureā€™s door. Kick back with plenty of room to gather and stow it all away in smart storage solutions. Add the bonus of powering your home or charging your EV, and this is unlike any travel trailer youā€™ve ever had

Try to imagine what that would look like being towed by a Tesla CyberTruck! šŸ˜‚

Telescoping trailers have been the "best ever" invention since the early days. The constant fail is a private bathroom with solid walls. The solar power is old news, and their price for this one !!!

Lmao surprise surprise

ā€œReserveā€

So basically another startup needing upfront money to even start this and using the Lightning thinking F-150 owners a bunch of suckers like some Tesla Owners who reserve anything and everything ā€œcoming soonā€ for the Cybertruck šŸ¤£

Iā€™m waiting on the EV Airstream lol

to be fair everything is "coming soon" for the cyber truck because the cyber truck is "coming soon". Also without this early reserve system Ford wouldve majorly underestimated the demand for the lightning and most of us wouldnt have one. Im more in shock at the sticker price.

Vehicles I understand the whole Reservation scheme, especially from big time Manufacturers. But these ā€œstartupsā€ are hilarious. Maybe not this particular one, it seems like they are marketing for anyone and everyone. But like the ā€œcyber tentā€ and all this other crap is too much.

Yeah $125k + $90k for the Lightning is too much lol

Can jayco and the gang just build a slightly more aero travel trailer already. These startups are a joke.

This is way more than just aero. It has its own EV propulsion system. But for the price, youā€™d have to be a full-time RVer to justify it. I donā€™t see enough of a market for them to succeed.

Imagine the tie-up's at charging stations trying to jocky that rig into a park space while charging the truck, or placing the trailer at an adjacent slot for charging as well, I didn't dig into the literature, but wonder where they positioned the CCS-1 port?

EDIT:

I just recalled seeing a patent filing for FoMoCo for a V2V charging connection, that could help, but the rigg would need a semi-rig style pull through station

Regarding its own EV propulsion system ... Does that mean you could use the trailer to tow the truck ... backwards?

No - it propels it self based on the pull on the tongue. Virtually no energy is required from the tow vehicle. Itā€™s pretty clever.
I donā€™t think it has ā€œleadā€ capability. Kind of like the second locomotive on a train.

Iā€™ve been following these guys for awhile. The sticker shock got me. Curious to see what Airstream comes in at. I get there is a lot going into a EV trailer, but the fittings look lack luster and why would you forgo propane cooktop and refrigeration (both very efficient). If I see it in person maybe Iā€™ll be swayed.

I wonder if it can park itself like e stream?
