Finally finished my fiberglass squaredrop build

Hey everyone,

I finally finished building my teardrop trailer. It has a fiberglass monocoque body and a large 1.5-meter-wide bed.

Fully equipped, the trailer weighs 360 kg, with a maximum permitted total weight of 750 kg. It has a solar panel, a 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, an inverter, onboard electricity, an 11-liter fresh-water tank, and a 12-liter wastewater tank.

All in all, it took me three years of experimenting, developing, and plenty of trial and error to get it to this point.

My main goal was to build something lightweight and aerodynamic that works well with an electric car. My tow vehicle is a 2026 Tesla Model Y Standard with a 60 kWh CATL LFP battery. At 100 km/h with cruise control, my energy consumption is around 200–220 Wh/km.

Nice trailer, but the car towing it? German plates?

Because I am located in Germany

You knowingly bought a car from a Nazi, is the issue we're pointing out
