Nice trailer, but man that price is insane. The Lightship and Pebble are about half that price.

Yes they are but they’re also not out yet. These are out now and are really built to last. I am excited for Lightship and Pebble. Hopefully I get a chance to cover those as well 🤞🏼

Agreed..that price is really high. Looks like great and amazing quality, but that price is too high!

Aerodynamics makes a difference. My Model X has a 100 kilowatt hour battery, while the Cybertruck has 123 kWh. It's gonna be a while before the CT improves enough to become my Bowlus tow vehicle replacement.

Model X was more efficient and can carry more passengers so I don’t fault you but if you want a truck bed then the CT is the better option. Which Bowlus do you own?

Sadly the majority of this is just an advertisement for Bowlus, you should change the title because it's very misleading in that there's very little about the Cybertruck, smh.

Ultimately it was a test to see how far you can go while towing the Bowlus Volterra. Main point for us and Bowlus were the results

That would be a great test. I’m hoping to get my hands on one at some point. If so I will definitely do many tow range tests with it

Wow! Amazing. Wish they could make some more budget trailers. If not (I prefer they do), someone else should mimic the shape and use less expensive lightweight materials with a similar shape. Pretty sure if one were to try to make a less expensive one, fiberglass or some composite mold (rather large mold) would do the job.

What I’m excited about is that I think more and more RV companies will be coming out with EV trailers. The more competition will in turn lower the costs 🤞🏼

@@Butter_EV Unfortunately, if legacy RV companies (where did we hear this before) try to make them, they'll probably make the lighter/smaller/cheaper by compromising on quality build and parts. Just look at most "low weight" trailers. They're not what I'd call "quality" trailers (you mentioned it too). The only way I can see this happening is for a new player to shuffle the deck. Pebble might be one but is still expensive. Someone needs to come in with the Tesla mindset of reducing cost with volume. Making qaulity trailers lighter and more aerodynamic will benefit all vehicles - not just EVs. When people will realize the cost savings at the pump (+ less stops at the pump/charger) - a new market leader will be born. I with Bowlus could build a subsiderary (reserving Bowlus to high end trailers) to build low-cost aerodynamic and light trailer in volume. I'm pretty sure they can, though it's a gamble and a signfiicant investment.

The cybertruck is heavier isn't it? And has different electric engine(s)? Also did they have the same capacity battery packs or different?

Hey mate. Based off this what you rekn towing a small 4m aluminium boat would be? Should sit mostly in the draft
@Butter_EV
4 ай бұрын
Hello, do you happen to know the weight of the boat and trailer? Also how tall would this boat on a trailer be? Roughly. Drag is probably the biggest range killer so if the boat sits lower that the truck that would help tremendously
@tomcatley5227

@Butter_EV bout 1.4m high while its on the trailer. Less than 700kg id say. But these numbers were awesome 👌
@Butter_EV

If I had to guess you’d get better numbers than this test. Roughly half the weight and not as high as the Bowlus.

I was talking to a CT owner that owned a go cart company and towed flatbed trailers and short walled trailers 90% of the time with his CT and he said that if the trailer was inside the silhouette of the CT the range hit was negligible. But if your trailer was larger that the CT the range hit got big real quick.
