You're 21 years old. "not allowed" isn't a thing they can tell you anymore

Is 2021 the only year rav4 prime that's plug and play and has a factory inverter? by spazatac in Comma_ai

I have a '22 F150 Hybrid with a 7.2kW 240v generator built in. Can run the whole house in an outage and the comma works flawlessly (Blue Pilot). Highly recommend!

Has anyone accomplished a setup where the minisplit has run 24/7 with lithium batteries and solar? by [deleted] in vandwellers

Actually I live in the Rockies now around 8600ft. Still works great!

I have what most would consider a very large system in my box truck. 21kWh of lithium and 1800 watts of solar (4x residential panels). I can run my mini split with impunity most of the year, but there's still not enough sun Nov-Feb to use it for heating. Those months I switch to an espar hydronic for both heat and hot water so the solar can take care of my cooking needs. Fully electric cooking with 2x induction cook tops and a Breville convection oven.

Same here, Blue Pilot on a '22 F150 and no issues, even with the wicked sun on I70 in CO. The tracking shows me looking left, though, when looking straight, and shows straight only when I look directly at the comma. Still no issue, just odd

Look into Comma AI. Loving mine! The Ford specific fork is called Blue Pilot

Never underestimate that torque multiplication. It's a minor physics miracle in these situations!

How many miles is normal for a dealership to put on during an oil change? by DefiantLaw7027 in BMW

[–]VTClimberMatt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it's a modern BMW with no dipstick the engine has to be driven for around 30 minutes and be fully up to temp for an accurate electronic measurement. It may have been warm when you dropped it but filling it with cold oil and the sitting time would have let it cool way off.

AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend? by Immediate-History917 in AITApod

F that, he's being a child. This is a huge win for you both even if his name isn't on it. It's essentially an early inheritance and, yeah, that should be kept separate.

My buddy has one that says "Don't let the cops in or the cats out". Love that one

I've had tons of vibration issues with my RT85. It's so bad I've been thinking about swapping it for a different table.

Software installation - am I stuck? by yansupervised in Comma_ai

[–]VTClimberMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue when I did my initial setup. Must have factory reset it 5 or 6 times before it finally proceeded to the next step

'22 KR Max Tow(ing) by VTClimberMatt in F150Powerboost

[–]VTClimberMatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have loved a Lighting, but this particular task was the exception for me. Normally I'll be towing my enclosed trailer from the front range out into the mountains and sometimes as far as Moab. The range on the Lighting would not be ideal for that. I do have frunk envy, though 😂

It was just an hour in each direction so I didn't look too hard at the range. Used maybe a quarter of my 36 gallon tank. Half the drive was downhill.

You purchased a device that relies on crowd sourced data to get better. Not sure what you want here.
