  • And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.

    Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!

    But it’s kind of like the US and guns. It’s a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole acrivity in question.













  • Has anyone actually looked at the amount of water needes to handle a tesla fire? The pdfs are available and we looked at them when I was a volunteer. It’s like 8,000 gallons or something to keep battery temps under control. Our tanker holds 2,000 gallons and foam isn’t effective like it is for normal car fires.

    A single tesla on fire needs a response similar to a house fire. Most fire response is going to be very strained with multiple, especially if they are at different locations.


  • Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is my understanding

    1 It’s a lot better than nothing! Meshtastic firmware sets every node to the LongFast, pubpic encryption channel by default. If it gets fuly factory reset that should still be default. If you want an additional channel with different settings the QR scan feature lets everyone sync settings easily.

    You might even be able to manually plug in the encryption key but I haven’t tried that to see.

    2 You can DM nodes in range over the default LongFast channel. You can also set up a separate channel for a group. For example I have one with all my nodes that serves as a family/friends group and also allows for range testing without spamming everyone in range.

    3 Voice probably won’t be a thing, is the bandwidth is very small and it would be a real struggle to get it to work in a useful way. Still could happen though! Regular radios still work best for voice
