Range test with your trailer vs Bowlus - would be SUPER interesting to see the REAL WORLD benefits in range. 🙏 (must be done same day, same route, same traffic conditions - so need to find a less busy route)

I am hoping to do an actual range test soon. Not sure if the manufacture will allow me to do it so I might have to find a brave owner 🤞🏻

@@Butter_EV Hopefully Bowlus would allow for it - especially given the publicity of CT. It's a free ad for them. Combining the two would be a HUGE win for them and would generate a LOT of attention. If not, maybe they'll be willing to help you find a buyer that would be willing to lend you one. There's one in my neighborhood (SF bay area) but they don't own a Tesla, yet, and not sure I'll be able to talk them into it...

@@Butter_EV and I won't be around this weekend 😕 -- but if things don't work out with Bowlus, let us know and I'm pretty sure some other owners would help out - especially those with Teslas (ie, not sure my neighbor would but would be worth a shot).

Like these trailers so much this is the 4th video in a row that I have watched. Solar panels are improving all the time, so perhaps more capacity in the future.

I'm surprised they didn't hitch it up to your Cybertruck - seems like a good photo opportunity at least! But if I were them I'd definitely lend one to you for a few days.

How much does that trailer weigh? How many pounds do you need for weight distribution?
@Butter_EV
5 ай бұрын
The Rivet only weighs 2,500 lbs dry. Because the CyberTruck is a unibody I've been told by BlueOx, hitch manufacturer, not to use a weigh distribution hitch

Thx for the walk thru and information on this trailer. I have a similar Salem trailer like the one you towed in the TFL Collab (a little smaller single axl) and use a Grand Cherokee 4xe to pull it. I’m looking at getting an EV truck when there are more affordable options available. I definitely see your point to this video. Do you have any idea on pricing at this point?
@Butter_EV

The Rivet starts at $165,000. But like Geneva stated in the video they build their trailers with the best materials and care. They are meant to last a lifetime as opposed to just a fews like most traditional trailers. Like the CT pictures do not do the Rivet justice. Its really a gorgeous trailer

This is a nice design and I loved that you covered the Bowlus, but I am looking forward to upgrading my Airstream to a larger 33', and that one weighs in around 8k lbs. Cybertruck will pull it easily, but the range feels too sketchy. Whattya gonna do? That 33' Airstream is plush and its got that projector and 60ish screen for movies plus a dedicated remote work area -- the Bowlus less so plush as I expected. 😄 CT only projects to be able to tow that 33' around 170ish miles even with the range extender. Not good. With that new Silverado EV and its prodigious towing, where one would easily get plenty over 200 miles pulling the 33'(per Out Of Spec), it comes down to whether or not I covet the Cybertruck more than the 33' Airstream. Or maybe just bite the CT bullet, tuck tail, and tow shorter lengths.

I think when it comes down to having an EV tow vehicle the one that excites me the most is the new Ram EV. It has the diesel generator which recharges the batteries. But then again is it truly an EV if there is an engine onboard?? Nonetheless I’m in a similar situation as you. I’ve gone all in on the CT and my trailer weighs 7,000 lbs. I’m intrigued by all of the new EV trailers which will help with range and might just buy one here in the near future. I also think the range extender is a must for me given the need to use the CT as my main tow vehicle. Please keep me updated with your decisions. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏🏼

Because your tow vehicle is a unibody I don’t think it’s recommended to use a weight distribution hitch. But I’d call whichever hitch manufacturer that you’re considering and ask them directly.

@@Butter_EV yeah that might make sense for someone with no bills, retired and ready to travel around the country often. We need a smaller one under $100k IMO.

I believe in time these EV trailers will eventually get in the sub $100k price range. As far as the pebble and lightship I believe both will be priced above $100k
