Alert Bloomberg Covers LightShip and Me Too

[turbopilot]

Several months ago I had a long interview with Kyle Stock, a journalist at Bloomberg News. He was writing a story about the new breed of electric RV's. The story just came out this morning. Some technical errors but overall fair coverage.

PDF of the story attached.

Their problem will be this: If I can swing $250,000 for an RV which is kinda like an Airstream only Airstream has been around for 75 years and comes with a proven track record, gas mileage is probably not an issue nor am I likely that into off grid camping. There will be a niche market, but comparing it with an Airstream is apples and oranges. They'll sell a few, just like Tesla sold a few Cybertrucks, but I doubt people will be clamoring for an RV that's kinda like an Airstream only costs more and has about 10,000 more failure points, including that in about 10 years you'll probably need to replace that $40,000 battery. I could be wrong, we shall see.
