    Thank you for all the news. I can't figure out how overproduction hasn't made an appreciable dent in pricing.

      I think the stated prices dealers adevertise are likely pretty flexible especially for anything older that 2025 models. I am seeing 23% discounts published online for 2024 Airstream models, and this is what they are publishing online, which may still be negotiable. The hard part is to discover the real price. So, I think there is a dent in pricing for anything not 2025 model year. Thanks!

      Cause the sheep bought failing leaking tin cans at over 100% what they are worth a 23% savings is still a huge rip off. Pay attention to the RV real news and lawsuits from those that bought new RV’s. It’s just the tip of the iceberg for a failing industry and past time. It’s a way over marketed past time that will leave you broke.

      Makes sense to lower the whole thing when in transit, just like a pop-up. I am interested in how it handles towing it.

    Fantastic update 👍
    $$$ for the AE1, and all I could remember from one review was how much the table wobbled. If you can get a table right the 1st time out to the market, what else is wrong with it!?

    John, that was a very interesting video. As far as the EV trailer goes, I don’t understand the target market for a trailer that costs a quarter of a million dollars.

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  11 днів тому

      Yep, they are only making 50 of these. I think they want a restricted group to work with to work out issues. It is very pricey.

    EV trailer AE.1 Terros doesn’t offer assist capabilities or extended range. Only has one battery and solar panels. Starts at $125,000

    • @JohnMarucci
      @JohnMarucci  13 днів тому +1

      The Cosmos is double that at $250k. Only 50 will be produced. I think they are taking a page from Tesla by going out with a high-end model first and working any kinks out on a smaller customer base. Not a bad idea vs a mass nationwide launch.

    We are trailing on the end of the baby boomers enjoying RVs. Do you think it will have an effect on sales?

    Good report John ! Is really no such thing as a zero emission vehicle. During production they require tons of emissions just building the batteries. That trailer looks neat , but I’m sure it’s really expensive! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 👍😁

      I think some will buy it but the lack of charging infrastructure may be its Achilles heal.

      The will definitely get a few rich fanboys to buy it. Started by Tesla veterans. These people have money to throw around because they think they are saving the planet.
