I do the same damn thing when I walk into someone’s house or any building really. Front door, hallway, kitchen, garage locations.

      Honestly, I would have preferred 40x 30min episodes with a ton of details and explanations... the video is really nice but just a very broad overview of what they have done...

    Rivian makes pickup, but I like that she gave them competition. One thing I would build for an EV is an oboard gas-powered range extender. The Rivian has this cool comppartment tunnel that you could use for all sorts of cool applications.

    Not only this is an amazing project but you're not milking this project for views, other UA-camrs could make 30 video series of this one project but you decided to make only 1 half an hour video of making this project and i highly respect that!
