“the lift has just made it worse.”

It is the position of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) that the title “engineer” should only be used by qualified individuals.

He’s basically saying, “I built this, I didn’t like it, and now I want to get back every dime I put in and some extra for my time.”

I bet this is great off-road, except for side-slopes. And climbs. And breakovers. And descents. And in tight trails. Or near low-hanging branches.

Especially if they are under the delusion that every dollar they put into it raised the value by that amount.

Would like to see some heat shielding between the woodstove and the plywood wall.

“I never really got around to finishing the job I started” isn’t what I want to hear when I’m contemplating buying someone else’s project. What’s the number one rule in used car buying?

Looks like the owner put a lot into the build! I love seeing people’s takes on overlanding, and this looks like a cool one.

Money changed hands.

And the kid needs to sue the Dealership.  They should have insurance to pay out the $10,000.  

If they are unwilling to do that they could potentially give him a car worth $10,000 and it would also be satisfactory. Perhaps a certain 2016 Mazda CX-5.

And while the dealer is trying to make it right for Fredricks, he’s still out of $10,000 and a car.

Once again the age old lesson bites someone in the ass: No title? No cash transfers hands.

Isn’t the Lightning around $20k cheaper than the Rivian too?

What you’re looking for is an Airstream.

They are constructed like absolute trash. Let’s see, giant thing that has to go down the road at 90mph, through all elements, over all road salt, debris, bumps and potholes, and has to suffer the occasional bump into something solid.

Insecure group of people self-define group as exclusive. Cool story. (Btw - that's not a definition of engineer) 

I realize he doesn’t have an engineering degree, but the man is an engineer in my eyes. As I understand, he helps solve technical problems by offering his insight, just as an engineering manager does. 

This is the Elon I like to see. Less drama, more science, and ....humble?
Also, reading this article felt like reading Popular Science articles from the 90s-early 2000s, in that it felt appropriately scientific yet easily digestible.

This is impressive. I’m not the world’s biggest Musk fan, but very few C-suite executives have anywhere that level of knowledge about their product. Credit where credit is due, good for him.
