I’m not familiar with Lora or other RF systems. Can they adjust temperatures too?

My other vehicle is from 1976… I love it and I love the ability for me to fix it without plugging a computer in.

Walking a 1/4 mile in cold wind to a warm car that’s already defrosted is pretty amazing though. And I’m vehemently against subscriptions where possible, so I get the hatred towards connected cars as well.

I use mine all the time. I have about a 1/4 mile walk to get to my car, I like to start it in winter to heat up, or summer to cool down before I get to it.

It’s a luxury, but one I enjoy.

I’ve lived on a sailboat for 10ish years. It’s similar, but has its own different issues. I would say that the work I do on my boat to maintain it is similar to a house, in terms of time with yard work etc. RV’s are probably similar.

It’s a freeing life, if you don’t like your neighbor, drive to somewhere else (buy a boat/RV that is capable of moving). You can live cheaply, and save a bunch of money. But if you’re thinking long term, the key is to save/invest that money. Eventually you’ll be too old to live that life, and retirement plan/savings/kids will need to help.

It’s not an investment in the sense of increasing value; land and property will pretty much always increase in value. Your RV will not. Your money going into that life is like rent, it doesn’t help you in the future. Without getting into mortgages front-loading interest, land/property will help you financially in the future.

That being said, I LOVE my life. But it is a lifestyle, it’s not for everybody. I couldn’t imagine living in a house right now.

Only way to know is if you try it. “We feel more comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they are not.”

That sounds like a Sony problem to me. Who ever I paid, gives me the refund. If they have to go get it from someone else, that’s their problem.

I have poop-tongs. I live on a boat and my dog poops on the deck, so I throw them off by using poop tongs. I keep them separate from where I have my grill accessories.
