I now live on Kangaroo Island and just ordered the new MY24 LRSM Polestar, due to arrive in a few weeks. I graduated from CU Boulder in 1995 and worked at the Loveland Reporter-Herald newspaper. Back then I drove a full size 1986 Bronco, a real basic ex-mining vehicle with the 4-litre 6 cylinder, and spent most of my time up the Poudre and Thompson canyons and also North Park fly fishing - fond memories and how times have changed!

For those concerned about power there are two smart options for this EV camper:
1. Tow a small trailer with a gas generator and two jerry cans of fuel. Enough to get you charged up even in the dark to get you back onto the road.
2. Similar small trailer with multiple solar panels that you can then plug into a DC to AC power inverter. The benefit here is the ability to charge both the camper and Hummer with no noise or fumes, and without the fear of running out of fuel.
A proper purpose-made trailer could also have a 2nd fridge/freezer, additional fresh water supply, storage for gear/clothes, space to mount 1 or 2 ebikes for destination exploring etc... Your only limitation will be grey water dumping, and if there is a toilet on board, black tank disposal.
The other huge advantage would be using the Hummer's adjustable suspension to lift/lower the camper off and onto the truck. Assuming it is just a bolt-on job, it wouldn't be too hard to keep the camper on a special rack when not in use, and when needed, just back up under it with the truck and mount it as necessary. Your typical slide-in truck camper uses telescoping legs to do this.
Looking forward to seeing this product develop and mature.

How could this not end up in the Out of Spec garage! Absolute insanity, high quality, and useful upgrades. Really excited for more electric overlanding vehicles!
