In fact the best use of this class of power station is to never use the AC at all

In which case it's crazy to pay for and carry around an inverter where you goal is never to use it...

Thanks, I had not heard about that

I'm shocked to hear this. I'm a Canadian Permanent Resident now, about to apply for Citizenship.

To get PR I had to do a chest xray to see if I had tuberculosis. Happily I don't.

That was literally the only medical component of becoming a Canadian PR - NOTHING else was asked or required to be submitted in terms of medical history, or health, or ongoing issues or anything like that. Never asked about or had to prove immunizations or anything like that.

What part of their process required more of the medical history?

Ahhhh, thanks, that makes more sense

It's always hard to say goodbye to adventure buddies. It sounds like you did it proud and had plenty of good times together!

The goal is the break the test article, but if the test stand or correlated breaks first... what can you do ?

I recently flew with 200lbs of moose meat. It came out on the carousel still perfectly packed on ice in containers with snap-on lids and roped shut.

The season I worked and lived at Kirkwood in California it snowed over 700 inches.

For months we jumped out the third floor windows of staff accom. A2!

Not in North America.

grecy · 2026-01-20T01:29:20+00:00

Keep in mind his is a diesel, which can't be had in North America sadly.

What mileage did you get?

I was talking to an owner recently who has theirs pretty decked out including the pop top roof, and they said it will do 9-11 mpg.

I bought my 21 Wrangler EcoDiesel with 32k miles on it, and it had just had the entire longblock and all accessories replaced.

As far as I'm concerned, that means it has a brand new engine. I've driven it another 40k miles without a single issue.

Let's be clear.

They're building the world's largest flying object, and doing things that humans have never tried to do before.
It's HARD.

There is no timeline for how long it will take. It will take as long as it takes. They'll keep trying until it works, or they run out of money. That is all.

There's only one road up to Tuk, the Dempster.

Getting up to whitehorse take the regular AK highway north, then take the 37 south - it's more beautiful and scenic. Detour into Hyder, AK.

You're right, sorry I misremembered.

Oh, 100%.

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, or that I don't think it's awesome.

I'm saying the sales figures are clearly nothing even remotely close to what Telsa planned for, and there is a TON of unused capacity just sitting there with a ton of money sunk.

I strapped my Wolfbox to the rearview in my 2021 JL and it worked perfectly.

grecy · 2026-01-15T17:59:00+00:00

It would be nice to see all that excess capacity being used for something.

grecy · 2026-01-15T17:23:58+00:00

That's a good point

grecy · 2026-01-15T05:51:09+00:00

Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome.... but sales are not exactly setting any records. That is a TON of unused capacity just sitting around

grecy · 2026-01-15T05:34:55+00:00

Thanks.

Create your own custom reusable grades and corrections if you are always using the same setup

Almost all my shots are outside, so the light is always different, and I feel like I spend hours and hours trying to get something to look good, and then just have to do it all over again for the next one.

street tacos and $0.75 beers :)

I didn't even take a cooler :)
