    Load it full of gear and it drops to around 100, I’d bet. That’s fine if you have a fleet of them, and you’re delivering in a city. But, no one is making a usable campervan out one of these.

    EDIT: I was imagining taking one into backcountry, not driving to a commercial “campsite” and plugging in. If all you plan to do is drive between parking lots, then yeah, it would work.

        You could attach a tent to extend the back. The whole point of this design is the CAD files are open for anyone to make third party addons. Slate encourages this.

          that pop-up mockup is great.

            The second one slides out in a nested design. The more they sell, the bigger the aftermarket.

          was unaware they had CAD models open to the public. How did you get them? I don’t see them published on their site.

            They were on their website but they were removed.

      For short trips, the higher load will also regen more energy.
