Prepare to watch me be incompetent and make many mistakes. Oh, and look inside an interesting battery pack I guess.

Pull out the peltiers, test them to see if they work and if they work, do something weird with them.
Three of them work! It was four of them, but I pushed one a little too hard. Now it's down to three
Regarding the fan shrouds: have you ever thought of getting into vacuum forming? You have the skills and equipment to make the formwork, and then you could make things like custom fan shrouds.
This was really cool to watch! There’s one of these for sale on eBay. If I didn’t value my marriage I’d jump on it just for the unique factor. I wonder if there’s anyway to improve the performance of these?
Great video as always, I think the reason the engine tried to turn on right after turning the truck on for the first time is because the hood was open, for states that require inspections, you have to be able to run the engine on its own to pass inspection, Chevy volts also do this so would make sense.
My Jeep Wrangler 4xe phev did this too.

That's pretty much exactly what I thought it would be. Neat!
You undersell this. I think this was a great success!
I don't think you said peltier enough in this video ;)
That was great fun! Thanks, Robert!
I'm so happy that you make videos! You rock!
Do you have plans for the spare battery pack you now have?
Funny, I got this notification whilst watching the Wheego battery pack “revival” 😂
