I purchased “advanced autopilot” for my 2023 TeslaModel Y and have been happy with the purchase so far, but was disappointed when some of the functionality wasn’t there day 1. It’s now April 2024 and the latest update gave me autopark for both parallel and general parking spots. I’ve tested both of those and they work well. The other cool thing that came out a few days ago was free FSD for a month. I was really excited to try…
About a year ago I had solar and battery backup installed for my home and a week ago had more panels installed to increase my production to a level that I feel is appropriate for my energy use. Initially, I had 12 Panasonic 360V panels installed on my home’s roof since I also wanted a 10KW battery backup to be in place due to our occasional power outages due to the windstorms/blizzard conditions that occur throughout the year.

She’s my grumpy girl who came into our pack around 2014 and was a great sister to Mooch and now to Theo…

Vehicles Here are some from pictures I’ve taken by me or of me related to vehicles I’ve owned: People Here are some photos generated from images I’ve taken over the years: Text to Image Some…
I’ve been waiting about 2 years for my Metacycle to arrive and it’s almost time! I have the owner’s box of goodies arriving Monday and the Metacycle is expected for delivery around the 22nd of February 2023! I initially received an email around 19 January concerning my availability. I clicked the “Yes, I’m Available” button pretty much immediately. A couple weeks later I received this email with a more targeted date: It’s been a long wait and hope that it’ll…
