Yeah that’s what I said - lucky idiots can get far with the wrong equipment, but it’s just gambling. If you’re lucky, you’re making it into a Matt’s Off-road Recovery video or losing your car entirely, if you’re unlucky the state has to recover a corpse as your car has no roll-cage.
It’s not my taxes going to the clean-up, so you do you. But “lucky idiot” is the correct term whenever a stock model 3 is within a 10 kilometer radius of a trail.
Try going 80mph in the middle of a Wyoming winter with total control, think about what that means a little bit, then tell me what you learned about what a low, multi-thousand lbs center of gravity with independent electric motors means.
Until then, enjoy the fictional world you've created of "right" and "wrong" equipment with rigid definitions. I'll be out in a jungle swinging on a hammock writing code from "impossible" places instead.
You didn't pass this "lucky idiot", friend -- I passed you.
