    This insanely high-tech RV trailer is almost ready.

    Here’s our first look at the “production-intent” Pebble Flow all-electric trailer. It can be moved into position by remote control thanks to a dual-motor system that can eliminate range-sapping drag when pulled by EVs. It features a massive 45kWh house battery and 1.1kW of rooftop solar to keep everything running for days. It starts at $109,500 with first deliveries available in the spring.

    Ferrari’s first EV spotted making fake Ferrari sounds.

    Here’s a sneak peak at the all electric Ferrari wearing full camouflage and making a simulated Ferrari rumble ahead of its launch later this year. As noted by Electrek, the prototype shows some exposed wiring and brackets up front and fake tailpipes glued to the back.

    Garmin’s bicycle radar comes to motorbikes.

    If I still rode a motorcycle I’d be tempted by the Zumo R1 to increase my awareness about all the nearby cagers trying to kill me. Just not sure it’s worth $600, given the false positives I’ve seen produced by radar units I’ve tried on bicycles, in much less traffic.

    Garmin Instinct 3.

    Another day another Garmin watch iteration. The Instinct 3 is a ruggedized GPS smartwatch available with an OLED display — $450 to $500 — or long-lasting MIP display with an integrated solar charging lens — $400 to $450 — in 45mm and 50mm sizes.

    Displays, but make them fun.

    Samsung Display is behind some of our favorite gadgets, monitors, and TVs sold by many companies, not just Samsung Electronics. So it’s always fun to see what they’re working on as a preview of what’s to come.

    China is giving citizens money to buy more smartphones.

    The roughly $41.1 billion consumer spending scheme, previously limited to stimulating car and home appliance purchases, is expanding to smartphones and “other electronics.” The move is meant to offset the effects of any new US tariffs on Chinese exports, according to Bloomberg.
