Pebble Flow towing w/ Cybertruck far exceeded my expectations

[jimbobb23]

What did the final pricing on the Pebble end up being? I was interested but pricing was prohibitive after I already went all in on the CT.

It's an aerodynamic trailer with its own pack and motors to offset the extra energy towing requires .
Like a range extender built into a travel trailer.

Do the motors propel the wheels? How does it match the speed of the towing vehicle? I’m gonna have to read up on this.

Yes, the motors propel the trailer. There is also 1100 watts of solar panels on top with a 45kwh LFP battery in the floor.

If the motors propel the trailer, that’s some serious technology to match the speed of the towing vehicle that’s awesome so the idea is that it just makes it more efficient for the towing vehicle. Can you also move it around the campground without a tow vehicle?

I have been eying these for a little while now. I just have trouble justifying the Foundation Series price for the "extras" it comes with... and even if I could, I don't want a green trailer.

I like the light blue color as it would flow well with my current wrap. But Foundations only come in "fern" green.

No.
"Fern" only for founder series
But you still can choice other 3 colors for your founder series.

Yes. You can control it via an app. I'd say go to the website for full details...

Good videos on YT as well.

It doesn't need to match the speed. They can run in power or torque mode so the speed is determined by the vehicle + trailer combination. Power output can be mapped to speed so the trailer output on its own can't accelerate them.
May also have a load sensor on the hitch to adjust automatically.

Yes, you can move/control it on App. Like a RC car but large.
I moved it to charge parking space on App. No Cybertruck back it up.

Wow!

Wow! I obviously misunderstood then!

Will take a closer look now.

Please update us on your real world experiences with it! Founder #1!!

P.S. do the windows have screens to keep bugs out?

I preordered one. But not Founders as i still can't figure out why it is so much more expensive vs. a similar one built with options but not "Founders." Maybe I am missing something. ?

Yes. Pebble provides the screens for the door and windows which can open.

So impressive. Amazing efficiency! Nice job Pebble.

Can you help me understand why the 45 kWh battery on the Pebble (they advertise it as being 3.5X that of a Tesla Powerwall) seems small to me when I compare that to our 123 kWh Cybertrucks? 45/123 = 36.5% as big.

I was thinking, at first, that this Pebble, being as big as it was, was going to have a massive battery that could also serve as a range extender for my Cyberbeast during long off-road excursions away from Supercharger networks. But now I am having massive doubts. Especially when considering the small 45 kWh battery is also serving as power for the trailer's wheels in getting there in the first place, what will be left over when reaching an off-grid location?

I'll be the first to admit I'm not fully knowledgeable on electricity and how all these batteries work, and maybe there are different classifications of batteries, or something, that behave different, so maybe my 1:1 comparison of 45/123 is not what it seems, but right now it looks like 45 kWh is very underwhelming to me. They could of had a bigger battery than the CT in the lower frame of the trailer. It would definitely cost more, sure, and maybe that is why it is so small?
