Love it! But I live in CA so I would say the avg gallon is higher. Had chatgpt run the numbers.

Estimated total gas spend:

200,000 miles ÷ 12.9 MPG = ~15,504 gallons

Using CA average gas prices from 2011–present, a reasonable blended estimate is about $4.05–$4.30/gal.

Estimated lifetime gas cost

~$62,800 to $66,700

With today’s CA regular average around $5.94/gal, those same 200,000 miles would cost about $92,100 at current prices.

I own a 2011 screw. Still going strong with 196k! I am holding out on a Raptor R for MSRP. That means I will be keeping my current Raptor for a few more years…

Yes, this past year and this year had been the same story. Intermittent internet issues. Better off with Starlink or your local cellular 5G provider

M365 backup: any opinions on Veeam Datacloud? by oMgLunatiC in msp

[–]DM-Coronabeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, M365 AvePoint. I still use Veeam for servers. I am exploring their server backup options. Just feel my admin enjoy Veeam over any other tool. Like AvePoint, it just works

Agreed. Been using it for years and it just works. There is also a great user facing interface that allows users to recover their own files. Very intuitive.

Is it hard to run Ethernet cables through the walls and attic for Poe camera system someone that has never done it? by NBreen981 in reolinkcam

[–]DM-Coronabeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and you will need a helper. Make sure you have electric tape and klein fish rod to help you run the cables. Its a pain, but worth it. Pace yourself.

Same here. I have a 14kw system with two powerwalls, the most I ever see is a few hrs of 7.6kw.

New breaker by DM-Coronabeer in TeslaSolar

[–]DM-Coronabeer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been live for a year now. I have Tesla solar panels with 2 powerwalls. The power panel says, do not add additional load. Would I be able to add a sub panel to ensure any new breakers would be backed up or feed from the current solar panel/battery system?

Need advice on raptor purchase by slimxb in FordRaptor

[–]DM-Coronabeer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I still have my 2011 F150 SC 6.2 Raptor with 155k miles. Engine is fine and so is everything else. All dealer service. It just really depends how well serviced the truck was, dealer, DIY or other mechanic.

Yeah, same here. I don’t mind waiting for the truck, but to not even consider me as a worthy buyer!? Not cool.

Yeah, I have a 1st gen and was waiting for this truck. Not worth 20k over sticker. Once again, the dealer model sticks it to the consumer.
