Someone’s designed a caravan to hitch to the Tesla Cybertruck

A company called Living Vehicle has designed and built a caravan for electric cars, specifically citing the Tesla Cybertruck and the Rivian R1T. And regular ICE vehicles, too.

The 'CyberTrailer' itself is all-electric, with power-assisted axles so the thing doesn’t rinse the battery of the tow vehicle and/or deplete its range across rougher terrain.

So far as caravans go, the CyberTrailer isn’t a typical example of its genre, boldly claiming to be "the future of off-grid travel". It’s powered by solar – generating up to 5kW (though accepting grid charging too) – under the premise that it’s “resource-independent”. (Though if you think that means there isn’t a cassette for your number twos, you’re wrong – we’ll get to that later.)

Design-wise, its exterior mirrors the wheels and aluminium-finished body of that Teslamobile, and there are plenty of pointy corners so people don’t mistake it for an Airstream. Designers Living Vehicle reckon its been engineered for "optimal aerodynamic performance" and boasts a drag co-efficient of just 0.39 when doing America’s top speed of 55mph.

But it’s also got expandable bits. Living Vehicle says the eight-metre (27ft) living space "transforms into six distinct room configurations" to make the most of the area, which sleeps five humans.

That length includes a fancy eight-foot patio that slides out from the back, complete with awning. Apparently, it doubles up as a ‘toy-hauler’ ramp - which is a ‘totally rad’ way of saying you can get your bikes, kayaks and other activity equipment into the cabin to store when moving around.

Inside, there’s plenty of glass, but – as the images show – if the exterior scenery isn’t mountainous enough for you, you can stick the telly on and put matching mountainous shots on the screen.

The water generation system is kinda impressive. It extracts nine gallons of water from the air – operating even when there’s only 20 per cent humidity. Coupled with a recycling system, there’s water on demand for washing the dishes, yourself, boiling the kettle for a cuppa and flushing the loo. No composter though, so the cassette remains.

The windows open from the side like a food truck and the winterised Cybertrailer has been tested from -20° C to almost 49°C so it’ll be as thermally competent in the snow of the Alps as it would in the deserts of Arabia.

Prices start at... £134,000 ($175,000) and deliveries commence in 2025. Want one?
