To say this is impressive is an understatement. I have so much respect and admiration for Rep Massie. The people of the 4th District of Kentucky are a fortunate bunch.

Just watched the Tucker Interview and found this straight away!

[krzysztofslomiany]

This man has the most common sense and intellect I've ever seen from a politician. If I were to ever move my family, I would consider your district. Much to be said about the people that voted you in. Good luck and keep fighting the good fight.

I’m a career electrical engineer, and I’m very impressed with what you’ve accomplished. Many things are possible for one who is able to see beyond constraints. Some of my most gratifying work required this mindset.

[JerryRigEverything]

Awesome build! I appreciate you putting it all into a video.

[suleyman_yusifov]

You are such a cool man! Saw you interview with Tucker, and came to check our work. I wish we will have more people like you in power

I first found Mr. Massie some 10 yrs ago as I followed his the build of his beautiful castle I was intrigued to discover he was MIT graduate. This was about the time I became a faithful follower of Ron Paul so I was even more thrilled to find that he also follows in the Liberty vein it is encouraging to know that people of such knowledge and skill are still around

[brianr]

Guy is amazing, proud as heck to say he is my congressman. You are very inspirational Thomas Massie.

[kyle]

Very cool to see all this. I voted for you twice and will continue to do so. Ky is so lucky to have you and rand paul!

[MerriweatherMcWiggan]

I was impressed with you before I watched this but now I'm a fan of yours.

[nolansprojects]

This video kinda hit me in the gut. I never really had any issues with the government, and their officials, but seeing this guy have a similar DIY interest that I do. It never really occurred to me, but it is pretty cool!

[mattobadia]

i never knew you had a Tesla, solar or lived off grid! congratulations this is an awesome setup!

[BruceS]

I've admired Mr. Massie for his political positions and honesty, and now I add in an admiration of his practical capabilities. We need more people like him in government, to replace the useless parasites that dominate it.

Was just searching for how to turn a Chevy Volt into a home battery, but now I have a lot more respect for you as a rep! Thanks for sharing the info!

[johno]

This is just amazing to watch. I'm excited that you got it to work. I'm also happy to see somebody with an inquisitive mind in Congress.

[roninmavors]

Congressman Massie. What a great way to get rid of those old lead acid batteries. i must say it was also great to see the outside of your fantastic home at the end. I followed your blog, all those years ago, when you were building it. I too am a student of Great Oaks Timber Framing from 2010. Looking forward to any updates.

[zodiacfml]

Thanks for sharing! Considering the trouble people had to go through to get a lithium based battery for their homes, Tesla should provide this capability as an option to their cars soon! There is a significant amount of people who don't use their cars that much. It is surely nice to have a Tesla car powering a house for with 60-80 miles worth of power, for a start.

[josephjohn]

Congressman. Because of your interest in Renewable energy. I declare you the greatest politician that the world have ever see. Thanks a lot

[lucascoulton]

I just want to say: I think it is so awesome that you are a congressman AND you engineer! Very impressive. I wish you were our congressman (I’m over in Cali).
I’m looking forward to more updates on your battery system!

[brandonhollinger]

nice work! took my breath away though to see your buddy's standing on the exposed modules. you might want to visually examine those tiny hair thin fuses -- 444 of them on the top of each module, and another 444 on the bottoms.
