This is exciting to see, it seems like the bottleneck here isn't the casting then. If the current ones we see are built by hand, it'll be interesting to see the production quality candidates that are built by machines.
What a mess! Hope production isn't this messy. What the heck is a portable generator doing in the frunk? This definitely looks like an abused early model. What happened to the doors?
You can get to 0.22916666666666666666666666666667 gallons per hour. from the 5.5 specification.
Then if you assume the consumption rate is hourly at 350 watts/hour.
Take the watts/hour and divide by the gallons per hour and you get 1527.2727272727272727272727272727 Watts per Gallon
Yeah, I'm sure there is a market for it. The outside material appears atleast from the pictures to also be of higher quality. Not denying that at all. I'm curious how much Lightship RV will cost which you can tell isn't made by people with experience in this area which also appears to be going...
Is the rest of the trailer really made with higher quality materials?

For example: A brand new top of the line trailer from Grand Design runs you under $200,000. If you were to take install your own stuff, on that, it's still way under...
So I saw the Living Vehicle RV and the $800,000 model was a bit out of my budget so I thought, how could I do it on my own.
You could buy a trailer of your choice.
Then install the following:
Water generator
$3,000

I think the original cover in the back was rumored to be solar but the surface area and the efficiency isn't there yet. I don't think. I've seen several different concepts to solve the surface area issue. See:

Problem...
Anybody remember the solar tonneau cover rumors? It'd be nice if it were a real thing but I have a hunch the power it would provide would be negligible. You'd need something that folds out to twice the surface area to get maybe enough for a day's commute. Where there any discussions about this...
For this to work, each and every home would need its own source of solar and turbine. This would remove dependencies from the Grid. The problem is that this is very expensive and what happens when you have multiple days of no wind or sun and batteries are depleted? This is why you need a grid...
Is this because of the angle of the windshield and/or the glass material? The slope on the Tesla Semi is steeper than the cybertruck windshield. So wind should push anything in the way up and over the truck right? With the Semi, it's more like traditional vehicle and so the pressure of the wind...
I believe the rivian has this feature as well but not to the extent that this vehicle does.
