Hey all — finally doing an intro. Day job: I fly EMS helicopters (the "get there fast" kind). Previous life: engineer at Microsoft — Data Center Manager and, my all-time favorite title, a Windows "Bug Repro" developer, which is exactly as fun and maddening as it sounds.

▎ On the Tesla side I've genuinely put the miles on 'em: '23 Model Y, 98% on FSD (I basically just let it drive), 130k miles and already on my second battery pack. If there's a road trip to be had, I've probably done it twice.
▎
▎ Between the pilot brain and the old engineer brain, I couldn't leave the Tesla alone — somewhere along the way my wife said, great it can drive itself, but what good is this screen here if i have to use my phone or hold a tablet or just go back to the old stabndy , read a book. So I said, we'll let me see. So I built a little setup to get real streaming going on the screen for the long hauls (keeping the family entertained on a road trip turns out to be a legit engineering problem
). , Happy to geek out about that one with anyone who's into it.

▎ Here to learn from the folks who've been at this longer, swap FSD and road-trip notes, and talk shop. So again, Hellooooo!
