Doesn't look like this has been mentioned anywhere yet, saw the info a couple weeks ago.

Similar to the Lightship L1, but with some more autonomous/remote features. I'll be very curious to see where this goes.

That thing is off the chain!!

Of course for $125k it ought to be!

If money was no issue, I would definitely be ordering one of those.

Curious how much power those panels can generate. I scrolled through, but didn't look like a lot of specs available or I missed them. How long would I need to boondock to fully charge the batteries of the trailer and the truck? Obviously it would vary based on weather, but is it even possible? Not like it's in my budget at that price anyway.

See, I thought the price was high, but then I've been looking at equivalently-sized Airstream trailers, and they're in the same ballpark...but without the tech. Luxury item, for sure. But I'm really intrigued...and given the power train and other features, I'm thinking this might be in my future in a couple years...

I have this dream of either retiring early and just going full nomad (have to pitch that one to my wife...she might buy it... :D ) or continuing to work remotely (we're both in IT) and living in something like this. It's good to have dreams. :)

Yeah, I want to see more real-world specs and usage. I'm hoping they'll have demos available or do road tours like what Lightship has been doing.

My wife and I had similar plans a few years back. However, life has a way of dictating your plans.

Wish you the best and hope your plans pan out.

1 kW per one of the information pages, enough to partially offset daily consumption.
The LFP battery stores 45 KWH
Has V2x capacity as well.

The Pebble looks like a direct competitor to the new AirStream with all the autonomous functions and driving assist. Priced accordingly too.

1kW solar seems a bit lacking. the Lightship has 3kW onboard. AirStream has an add-on option for a 1.2kW solar setup.

While these are pretty cool, campers are not really my thing. I'm not sure which one I'd pick if I were in the market.

Pretty cool trailer. Want to see them all side by side IRL. Curious why they don't have a tandem axle in these EV trailers? Does the single axle being active negate the need (is there the same stability)?
