About Polydrops
Polydrops designs and builds ultra-lightweight, aerodynamic, insulated teardrop trailers intended for easy towing behind electric vehicles such as the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, based in Glendale, California. The project began in 2017 when architecture student Kyunghyun "K" Lew built the first insulated teardrop prototype for his thesis in a Los Angeles parking lot; in 2018, after angel investor Rob Rhinehart (founder of Soylent) took interest, Polydrops became a formal company. The first production Polydrop trailer debuted publicly in March 2019.
How they build
Apply architectural design thinking to solve what the founders saw as the RV industry's neglect of proper insulation and aerodynamics, creating an energy-efficient, fully insulated "own space" rather than a conventional camping trailer.
