Thank you for having proper microphones for this extremely thorough interview. Well done, Dave!

[markcollins]

This ev trailer hits all the correct buttons. The electric assist motor is something I wasn't expecting. So cool

[justforthehackofit]

Love the design, love the enthusiasm ! The matruska design concept is a very useful touch that we met earlier in the Stella vita camper van.

Having seen a bazillion failed start-ups, I was initially skeptical... but I am now convinced that this is straight-up legit. You were throwing question after question after question. This guy was throwing answer after answer after answer (*NDA & proprietary topics excluded, of course). He was dodging nothing. I am honestly impressed. Also, you were asking some really good questions. Perhaps the only wishy-washy response was regarding the windows vs. rocks, but there may be some clever solutions to address that concern. GREAT interview.

Thanks Dave Lee for producing this. I Love the technology! Great job guys!

[patrickcharles]

They're definitely headed in the right direction. 👍🏻

[MrAnderson]

Clicked on this just because I watch all Dave's content. Started off thinking I wouldn't finish it but then they said they both worked at Tesla and I thought ok... Let's see what they got. Awesome design for a 1st iteration. Def the future right here. Awesome content Dave! Didn't know I wanted to see this!

[santiagoaguadorusso]

Looks great! Love the idea of adding a battery and a drivetrain, and also the two levels, so it’s aerodynamic while towing it and feels so spacious while camping.

[prm]

Wow great job Dave, but let me ask you what are the possibilities beyond RVing, portable office? Medical unit? Food truck? Field lab? Any ideas?

[pursueadventure]

Wow! Truly the future of RVing. Was not expecting the powered assist. With reduced side/frontal profile and the power assist the vehicles that can pull this should be much greater than anything of the same length.

[AlphaMachina]

Definitely bringing yacht design language into the RV market and I'm all here for it.

[chrisRevGenetics]

One of the windows could be a flipping TV for inside/outside viewing tied to 360 cameras and could also be a mirror…. Could work as advertising for food service

[paulwesterberg]

Either the RV or the towing truck needs to have 240V power out so you can charge the tow vehicle while the RV is also plugged in. Usually there is only one 50A outlet at campsites.

[SuperSushidog]

It reminds me of the old Hi-Los. They offered a tip-out room in some of theirs. The next step will be integrating a slide out and possibly making it bigger for FT use. One of the challenges of the pop-up design will be incorporating a full-size freeze-fridge.

[rogergraves]

Do they have plans to Exspand to the 5-Wheel side

[steventaylor]

How does the electric assist integrate with the vehicle so that it doesn't over run the vehicle and push the vehicle?

[Tronnet]

This is Awesome, and Wow! LOVE THE PASSION!!

[Crunch_dGH]

Looking for more info on the Joe Justice/Cyberlandr connection & if there might be a towable, powered option?

[RVthereyet]

10:48 there ya go!! Now we’re talking. Trailer assisting itself along. Nice.

[tinatomaszewski]

Great interview Dave Lee! I wasn't too sure about the kitchen drawers. I didn't see where they locked closed & they were kind of rickety while opening & closing. Those definitely have to be addressed! Overall, the Lightship looks nice! I checked online on their website. The longer lasting unit, after the $500 deposit, is estimated to be $151, 000. Then there's something about a tax credit & you end up paying under 140K. Also, it looks like there will be a little bit of a wait to actually own one. They don't anticipate starting production until late in 2024. So, I'm thinking you wouldn't be able to physically receive one, realistically, until 2025. Thanks for the video!
