Tesla branded power stations and portable solar panels, including a big one that is optimized as best as possible to add range with solar. A mobile gateway would be lovely. They could do it easily and crush the market.

Nice spot for lunch.

Personally, I’m glad you are having fun with it and that a new optionality space exists. Eventually, the price will come down on these as the refinement goes up and I suspect quite a few people will use them. My main argument in favor of something on the truck is that the self leveling in camp...

Thanks mate. It’s almost tall enough to stand up in there. That would make an interesting camper design in itself.

Meticulous, artistic, and beautifully crafted. I thought it was nice that the short was shot by an individual who has different priorities and skills than mine. It was actually pretty minimalist. Just very elegant. If I never see another molle panel, that would be just fine with me.

Interested in what difference/penalty the wedge creates without the trailer. Did you test that?

Great thread and I appreciate the expertise and testing! . Looks like this is a legitimate way forward for getting lost in the desert. I better check the couch cushions.

Thanks mate. 8kW it is. My plan is to just draw water from a blue jug and mock up the first unit in a milk crate for ease of mounting options. The crate will have a small bar sink dropped in and a folding faucet with a mixing valve for hot and cold inlets along with a secondary valve for a hose...

What on demand unit did you use? What was the wattage. I’m putting one together and I’m trying to figure out which unit to use. I’m between the 3000w single pole unit and the 6000w double poll.

In order to have unsupervised FSD Tesla will need to increasingly take on the liability. That means they will need to control parameters like speed and risk. Currently, we are in a transition zone where the risk is shared around the parameters of what mode is chosen by the driver. My history as...

Most tailgate pads have a way to secure the bikes to the pad. I just assumed that was the purpose of the straps. Loop it over the top tube(s) or down tube(s), secure the strap to the daisy chain and snug.

American Fork Canyon outside Alpine Utah to Provo Canyon. Sorry the truck isn’t in these shots. I was driving it but the best shots didn’t have the truck. Beautiful shots so I decided to share anyway.

Alpine Loop.

Hive mind stuff. Love the description. You may want to look into the work of Micheal Levin. He is a biology professor who has his own lab at Tufts. Your work is about to get a shot of hive mind in a good way. He and his group are learning to communicate with cells and other levels of collective...

You don’t do all of this as some of it demonstrates an awareness of a clear risk—a risk that doesn’t exist beyond the industry standard. It’s like a beware of dog sign. It may be a nice thing to do, but from a liability standpoint, it’s a bad idea. If your dog is reasonably well mannered, it’s a...

Looks fun to me. I also have the stuff and stuff. It doesn’t make me look down my nose at people with different interests. Love the Mad Max films and always enjoyed the DPW vibe at the burn. You have to be a certain age for some movies as well. Big deal.

Where I live speeding isn’t a felony. It isn’t even a misdemeanor. It’s an infraction. It may serve as indicia of recklessness—a misdemeanor—but alone is not de facto. Felony doesn’t enter into it. On I-15/80 80 mph is simply a reflection of reality. It was lower in the past to conserve...

The option to get the conventional suspension and no bed vault would be very attractive to someone building an overlanding rig. I agree that an option to get this trim with both motors would make sense. Frankly, I would have seriously considered that setup. Everything you need, nothing you don’t

I will play around with it. I was wondering about that.

Thanks. I didn’t know it could be turned off. Chat suggested that I use this TEKONSHA 119148 ModuLite HD Protector Trailer Light Power Module & Installation Kit. It would require a separate power source for the lights. I may give it a shot
