A self-propelling trailer would be a great solution to help take the weight off EVs. My only concern is that the price would be astronomical for customers.

Now, that is very cool! Airstream is really thinking ahead. This would alleviate a major concern for BEV vehicles and hauling heavy camping trailers. I could see this technology even applied to flat-bed auto-hauler or even toy box trailers. Now, imagine an R1T pulling a BEV trailer with a BEV off-road motorcycle.. pretty cool eh?

Looks cool. No word about (what appear to be) solar panels on the roof, and can I charge my EV off the trailer?

I doubt you'd get any benefit from the trailers solar setup for vehicle charging but you can probably power/recharge some of the trailer's capacity...
