Whenever I install solar, I have no real interest in feeding excess onto the grid as they don't compensate you proportionally to what they charge to use their energy. I will charge battery storage on my own property. My principal goal would be to be off-grid, but after talking to someone who...
I was just saying that if you are going to create a commercial, be as on point as possible and don't BS the viewer. What I generally find funny is that the outdoor community (off-roaders, shooters, fishermen, hunters, etc.) actually try to keep the outdoors as clean as possible as there are...
Reminds me of this Jeep commercial
Show what the product can actually do. Yes it is a commercial, but a damn good one. Still love the Bill Murray Groundhog Day commercial the best ... because it's Bill Murray.
I hope it isn't held up due to the steering wheel retracting back into the dash. I actually like driving and could see the use of FSD a few times a year. I drive a 2019 Jeep Rubicon with a manual 6-speed and it is hands down the best, most fun vehicle I have ever owned. The top is either down...
My wife would buy the VD I.D. Buzz tomorrow if available. That will probably be the first electric vehicle we purchase if I am being realistic with myself.
I currently own a Jeep Rubicon and if I need to tow or haul I would just buy an inexpensive flat trailer from Harbor Freight or the like. I don't really know that I need a pickup truck at all. The off-road capabilities of the Jeep and the fact that I can and do take the top and doors off so...
I currently drive a 2019 Jeep Rubicon Unlimited (4-door) and I am going to get into overloading with it. I initially thought about adding all the necessary equipment in and to the Jeep and ultimately decided it made more sense to get an expedition trailer. The weight of all the equipment will...
I am planning to drive from Southern Arizona to Prudhoe Bay, but I will take my Jeep Rubicon and pull and Off Grid Expedition 2.0 trailer. The 240+ miles between service stations is a worry on the Dalton Highway. I am very curious to see the experience you have. I read a great story about two...
A package deal would have been great, although at 16 I would probably would have crashed the Countach and if I lived, wouldn't have know what to do with Heather, but would at least give it the old college try.
I always joke that systems engineers give crazy and sometimes completely irrational design requirements and then mechanical and electrical engineers actually make reality happen.
I had a poster of the Countach 5000S in my bedroom as a teen (along with Heather Thomas) and I would love one in the garage, but the maintenance costs are a nightmare compared to today's supercars and I fear it would just sit in the garage for fear of having to get the 48 valves adjusted alone...
I flew to Idaho to pick up my Jeep Rubicon that I ordered and drove it back to Arizona with my wife and two of the kids. Had a great time and spent the night near Area 51. I highly recommend a road trip like that. You get to know your vehicle very well after a couple days behind the wheel.
I have never had the issue with rocks being thrown at my Jeep either while off-roading. I believe that the speed at which you are traveling may be a variable and I am sure that the slower speeds you find while Jeeping helps reduce damage from rocks. I would rather be able to be able to remove...
I would welcome all the range possible. I could drive from Southern Arizona to Southern California and never have to charge during the trip, or better charge in Arizona before entering California and only needing a small amount of charge in California to get back over the border in Arizona to...
I own a Jeep Rubicon and I won't switch to a Bronco, for a number of reasons including the community and aftermarket support, which are both without comparison in the vehicle space. I know the Tesla community is large and helpful, but until I experienced the Jeep Wrangler community and support...
Musk and Tesla did an amazing job of thinking way ahead and not being constrained by the yearly model mentality that is needed to feed the dealer network.
I would pick the Cybertruck over the Gladiator everyday. I think the Cybertruck will work with my family the best (wife and 4 kids), but it is a massive vehicle.
We bought a 2019 Jeep Rubicon instead of a Tesla Model 3 last July. I did a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) breakdown (I have worked in the Mechanical Engineering field for a few decades) and the Tesla would be cheaper over 6 years. The issue is the Model 3 can't go a large number of areas the...
Unfortunately most of the space junk is probably aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The other issue is the space junk is probably not all rotating around the earth in the same general direction. It is a problem and you have to wonder how many Starlink satellites will be hit as objects...
Honestly my biggest concern once I get one is that idiots will want to hit the body to see if it takes damages and throw stuff at the windows. I fear the idiocy and lack of concern for damaging other peoples property.
Maybe a small Silent Guardian system that uses millimeter microwaves to keep...
