  1. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Other than Rivian, who sells a Rivian size AGM battery, not a LFP battery.
  2. Rivian r1t bike pad didn’t protect the tailgate. Buyer beware.

    No dents from my 29" Specialized E mountain bike or from my 27.5 Cannondale mountain bike. E bike is 47 pounds, the Cannondale is 24 pounds.
  3. Florida Rivian Front License plate holder

    Disregard my request. I see it's the same as the one I have.
  4. Florida Rivian Front License plate holder

    how and where does it attach? does it block or interfere with camera or sensors?
  5. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    C&D technologies is not very transparent on the cost of their battery. It's a deep cycle battery which is very different from a starting battery. Anyone know where to buy the DCS-18 battery. My search has not produced anything yet. It took Optima about 2 years to offer a replacement 12 volt...
  6. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    Thanks for the info on the DCS battery. the PC 680 is only slightly longer so probably will not work. Plus the PC 680 is designed to provide high cranking power to start an ICE. I'm not sure how it would perform if there was a continuous draw on it. I use the PC 680 in my airplanes and they...
  7. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    I have not pulled my batteries but from watching the videos on how to replace them it appears that they are the same size as an Odyssey PC 680 AGM battery which costs $167. The only AGM replacement I have found is on Ebay for about $499. Can anyone tell me the size and specifications of an...
  8. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    I think this was briefly addressed in this thread but a LiFPo4 battery has a very different charging voltage and profile compared to an AGM battery. Some LFP batteries have an internal battery management system that will regulate power from an alternator to properly charge them. The Rivian...
  9. Efficiency of Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55/21 vs. OEM 21's

    They have only been available for a few weeks. Might take a few months to get good info. I bought a set 2 weeks ago but I'm waiting until I wear out my Pirellis to mount them. I have about 16,000 on the OEMs and will probably get another 5 or 6 thousand out of them. Looking forward to trying...
  10. Gen 1 Vampire Drain (Possibly) Solved (or Hacked)

    I had a 2005 VW diesel Jetta that came with a small solar panel, about 12X12 inches, that I would place in the rear window of the car and plug it into a cigarette lighter located in the rear trunk. The diesel had a huge battery and needed all of it to get started. I only used it when I...
  11. Little bump with rear bumper, Lotta grief (updated w/ letter submitted to Rivian)

    Yep, that's a minor bump. Please follow up with the Rivian response. And Please let us know if putting it in rear accessory mode helps.
  12. Little bump with rear bumper, Lotta grief (updated w/ letter submitted to Rivian)

    Would like to see a picture of your minor bump so I can determine exactly what a minor bump looks like. Plus, I wonder if there is an area of the bumper that is way more sensitive than other parts of the bumper, as far as electric sensors goes. Would a step bar in the trailer hitch have...
  13. New 21" tire option - Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 275/55-21 @ $380

    Yesterday I bought a set of Michelin 275/55/21 tires from discount tire in Salt Lake City. Total cost was $1487. My original 21 inch Pirellis still have 6 to 7 mm of tread after 15,000 miles so I did not want to mount the new tires until I wear the pirellis out. I expect I will need the tires...
  14. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    When I signed my binding contract it included a non refundable $100 payment. I had already paid $1000 dollars to reserve my order but that was refundable.
  15. R1T $7500 Tax Return with binding purchase agreement/2022 Amended Tax Return

    I received a check from IRS today for $7500 plus interest. I Filed my 2022 amended return last September 7th. After months of contacting the IRS and receiving no feedback from them as to the status of my return I was assigned an IRS advocate in June 2024. I never talked to the advocate...

    Ttry using Reflectix used in RVs as a window shade. It's very light, insulates from heat and cold, folds up easily, and can be used in the overhead and windshield...
  17. 21" Inch Snow Tires. PLEASE say someone figured it out

    I bought them from Costco, I would have bought them from Discount tire but they needed a week to get them and Costco had them in their store. There was a huge storm arriving and I needed them right away. That was Last December. The price was slightly higher at Costco but only because they...
  18. 21" Inch Snow Tires. PLEASE say someone figured it out

    I have a set of 20 inch dodge wheels with Michelin X-ice tires that I ran last winter. My driveway is very steep and I live at 6,800 feet in the mountains of Utah with lots of snow. They worked wonderfully all winter and I get the same miles/kwh with them as my 21 inch original tires. Buy...
  19. Maine vehicle inspection

    I would bet that most, if not all, inspection stations have done inspections on many EV's so it's probably not an issue for any of them to check your tires, lights, brakes, and windshield. . If you need an emission inspection and they ask you where the engine is you might want to find...
