In retrospect, that could easily have been avoided, had we decided not to drive like maniacs and take everything at 80+km/h.
To be fair, we also lost at least an hour in the morning due to issues we were seeing on one of the AFE boards, and so the mood of the convoy was very much that we had to make up for the time we had lost. We immediately BPS faulted (due to the AFE board) once we unloaded and powered on the car. We ended up working around the issue by swapping the boards around in the daisy chain, such that the board that needed 12 voltage inputs was on the good board, and the bad input was on the board that needed 6 inputs (luckily the bad input was on the unused portion of voltage inputs).
We also encountered our first test of bad weather, and thanks to taping our panel gaps, we managed to make it through relatively unscathed. The convoy somehow managed to sneak ahead of the thunderstorm that was following us, and so we just barely missed the downpour (barring a few small patches of rain). The trailer wasn't as lucky.
We actually made it slightly past the One Mile Hog Ranch Historical Site Marker, but our pack capacity was basically at 5%, and there was a giant hill we had to climb, which meant that we would be BPS faulting.
