Very cool stuff. This type of life is why I originally got into tech. Few thoughts:

- I wish this guy had a personal blog that I could subscribe to. I like that post, but I could care less about the rest of the blog posts on his employers site.

- I'd be interested in why he has stuck with a Model Y, seems to not be a good fit. I'd love to see him switch to something better (probably an ICE even though I know tech people love EVs).

All in all kudos to this guy for all the work he has put in to make this life work, love the iterative approach.

That hitch mounted floating office is hilarious. I'm in the RV-based remote work universe and I've never seen anything like that.
I was doing this starting in 2019 with a Tesla Model 3, before anyone knew this could be done. I will tell you, it is actually really amazing. A/C or heat all night, autopilot for long stretches, instant torque and true AWD, it was a beast on rough roads. People were often shocked at seeing it places they'd only see trucks and jeeps.

200k miles and 5 years later, I only stopped because I am continuing in Brazil, after having explore every state in the US (except AK) and nearly every national park.

I am missing the Tesla a lot in Brazil.
