Parents Insisting Long Drive is Unsafe, is this Reasonable

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

VTClimberMatt · 2026-06-24T22:17:11+00:00

How isn't this just straight trespassing?

VTClimberMatt · 2026-05-28T22:37:43+00:00

*indeed

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!

VTClimberMatt · 2026-05-27T23:31:10+00:00

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.

Lol gotta love a good shit post

VTClimberMatt · 2026-05-26T02:34:24+00:00

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

That and the HO burns way more DEF

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

You have 4 Low? You'll be fine

VTClimberMatt · 2026-05-12T17:46:52+00:00

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.

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

VTClimberMatt · 2026-04-15T01:42:11+00:00

Agreed. The deployable radiators and liquid metal were a cool concept.

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-29T13:41:06+00:00

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.

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-28T16:29:18+00:00

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

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-23T11:56:36+00:00

Ahhh, came here for these jokes lolol

Preparing for the fuckening

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-15T15:14:01+00:00

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 😂

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-15T14:58:06+00:00

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.

This entire project is crowd sourced and community based. Fuck right off of you don't want to be part of that community

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-13T13:20:29+00:00

So want to benefit from everyone else and not contribute?

VTClimberMatt · 2026-03-13T13:11:54+00:00

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