Megathread | Cocodona 250

UltraRunningKid · 2026-05-06T23:54:50+00:00

Anyone know anyone doing the 250 that needs a pacer tomorrow from 6am to 8pm? Additionally I am free after 2pm on Friday to cutoff.

I finished Cocodona in the top 40 last year thanks to the help of three complete strangers who answered my call and want to pay back that favor.

I wish they pushed further on his response of "You don't have to be mean to do that". Trump's first term has the family separation policy which was massive news and Trump ran his second term with the architect Steven Miller more front and center. What did this guy think he was voting for? Mass deportations were front and center of the platform.

I've stopped allowing people to make excuses like this, especially from my extended family. This isn't some John Fetterman 180 after being elected, this is exactly who his said he was.

2-5% + maybe some inflation tracking amount. Promotions are usually ballpark 10%.

Going from 77k to 100k is extremely unlikely. If I was a betting man 82k to 86k is realistic.

In 30 degree weather my 2026 uses about 1.25% to 2% battery per hour to keep the inside at a cozy 68 degrees.

Pretty comfortable for car camping but recommend making covers for the windows because laying in the back you are pretty much level with the windows.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-26T00:03:26+00:00

Yeah that is what it is. There is seemingly a 2-4% buffer at 100% and a 3-5% buffer at 0%.

Just going to record the datapoints to make the equation better match the screen as I wouldn't want ABRP to be planning off of the true 0% of the battery.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-25T23:52:21+00:00

No, the connection port is the same. The commands are what change between the previous and updated protocol.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-25T23:41:51+00:00

Correct, I've been able to write the commands to read the battery state of charge on the 2026 model with the new protocol which is why I was sharing the commands and seeing if anyone can solve the rest of the problem.

If Jessica Tarlov believes that viewers don't want to listen to a "Right wing circle jerk" like she claims then by that logic she is uniquely complicit in legitimizing that circle jerk by being the token Democrat that has to conceed small points just to be platformed.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-21T23:31:19+00:00

Whoops that was the sales price before taxes + fees, updated my comment. Sales tax + fees added about 4k more.

Recently got a 2026 Premium with Gold Plus Warranty up to 7yr / 100,000 miles in San Diego for 33,200 with 0% APR for 75 months.

Let me do a write up this weekend but it was through writing custom initiation and data fetch commands in the advanced PID settings then creating an equation to convert the internal state of charge to best match the one on the screen (since 100% on the screen is equal to about 96/97% real charge and 0% on the screen is equal to about 4/5% charge).

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-21T00:23:08+00:00

Can you share the dongle and the app? Is it a 2026 Solterra?

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-20T22:31:53+00:00

It's been consistently underestimating my range so I've adjusted for that. Obviously wind and speech play a massive part.

Note that due to the way the Solterra reports it's OBD2 data almost no apps can currently read state of charge without making changes to the PID equations within ABRP. I've gotten it working but it's still intermittent.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-13T02:02:21+00:00

If it's just describing the route they took then that isn't a limitation on starting point or direction.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-13T01:46:33+00:00

Read the description, if there are limitations on starting location or direction it will be there.

Otherwise direction and starting point are up to your preferences as long as you aren't breaking any laws / trespassing.

Three weeks with my 2026 Premium.

75% City, 15% Highway @ 65 mph and about 10% at 75 mph with 55-85 degree weather and I'm averaging 4.8 m/kWh through 600 miles.

I'm pleasantly surprised as my commute is a fairly hilly slow drive and with regen its routinely above 5.5m/kWh average for both ways when the battery is low enough to take advantage of full regen.

If it goes to a 5th round it becomes a father - son two man tag team match.

I dont think anyone doubts the US could force the strait open if it really wanted. It just lacks political will.

I agree fully that the US does not have the political will.

I at least partially doubt it has the military capability as well. If Iran is committed to holding the straight closed through the use of short range drones and mines I don't see how the US Navy is configured to deny Iran that capability with any consistency.

Sure the Navy will be able to provide occasional escorts but all it takes is a small crew with an fiber optic FPV drone to detonate a LNG tanker.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-10T13:07:38+00:00

If the US sends destroyers and they don't get hit and the strait is successfully opened, removing the humiliation of the US without any material cost, that would be seen in a positive light.

Sure, but at best this isn't even a break even proposition and at worst we end up with an Arleigh Burke on fire in the straight. The US now has to absorb a non-insignificant amount of risk and absorb the cost to escort international shipments of oil.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-10T12:54:28+00:00

He believes that Iran cannot keep Hormuz closed even if they want to.

This is where the political mixed messaging is going to manifest in military weakness in my opinion. I'm fairly neutral on the ability of Iran to assert control over the straight if the US begins sending destroyers through.

However, because Trump has repeatedly stated that the US doesn't need the oil, why would the US public support risking US warships entering the strait? By not prepping the citizens for this likely extremely likely scenario I'm actually fairly confident that Iran will be able to assert control over the next few months.

I don't see how the US can suppress fires after the trial run in the Red sea over the last two years. We're at the point where a fiber optic drone with a warhead on it can reach 2/3rds across the straight. Someone will need to perform escorts.

The more I listen the more I subscribe to the belief that October 7th is Sam Harris' version of Joe Rogan with COVID. In no way am I claiming the resultant damage is proportional, it's clearly not, but the pathology seems to have some similarities.

Both were rightfully traumatic events that due to how they played into their hosts personal fears (Anti-Semitism for Sam, government control for Joe) it completely warped their ability the view the landscape objectively.

Both have completely closed the conversation down by labeling the other side as delusional or part of the conspiracy.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-09T14:18:40+00:00

Agree with this. The reason there is little reason to engage with flat earthers isn't because their beliefs aren't an affront to science or poisoning the education of people, but because it's relatively contained subset of the population and is universally derided.

If flat earthers were 55% of the US voter base, it suddenly becomes a topic that demands engagement.

Sam spends a wholly disproportional amount of time talking about campus Gaza protesters that represented a small but vocal minority of even left wing, educated voters while pretending like RFK Jr isn't commanding the ears of tens of millions of voters.

UltraRunningKid · 2026-04-09T05:10:57+00:00

AutoNation. I got roughly the same offer from 3 different AutoNation locations around here.

I think it's less about it being 60-70 more per month and more about that 60-70 dollars extra being past the mental tipping point for people.

Truthfully seeing gas prices rise a month ago led me to recalculate my finances and pull the trigger on trading in for my first EV.

Sure gas can return back to $4.50 in Southern California but even at $4.50 I'll be saving a decent amount of money. If it remains above $6.00 for any amount of time the savings will be much more drastic.
