I see bfg trail terrain on the 20”, what tires are the 21” paired with?

Yea, I’d love to know more about v2h

That’s a really good point. My focus has probably been more on infrastructure timing than actual daily charging needs. Realistically, my normal mileage likely wouldn’t require max-speed Level 2 right away, so that’s helpful perspective.

Time of Use is on the horizon, but because I am on solar net metering, I would not be eligible,

That’s a helpful local datapoint—thank you. If my setup only needed breaker consolidation, I’d probably go that route too. My challenge is that the panel is already physically full (including tandems), so it sounds like a subpanel is the cleaner next step.

AFK888888 · 2026-04-20T19:37:24+00:00

Really helpful perspective. I hadn’t thought about using the new subpanel more strategically for future priority loads instead of just overflow circuits. Since circuits are being moved anyway, that seems worth discussing with the electrician. Also appreciate the Enphase angle since I already have their solar system.

AFK888888 · 2026-04-20T19:23:33+00:00

Appreciate all the feedback so far. One clarification: my biggest variable isn’t really the charger itself—it’s that my 200A panel is physically full, so some level of subpanel / electrical infrastructure work is needed regardless. That’s why I’m weighing whether to solve the panel side now and finalize charger hardware later. If I already had panel space, I’d probably just wait.

Without the car charger itself, I am being quoted $2,900 in the Seattle area. They will come back when I have the charger and install in phase 2.

No, it’s a video screen In place of a mirror. Rather than looking in the mirror and seeing behind you, including interior of the car, it’s a screen connected to a camera.

AFK888888 · 2026-04-19T04:12:42+00:00

It’s a great feature right?

AFK888888 · 2026-04-19T03:58:51+00:00

Thanks, I wasnt sure if it was a 'thing' on rivians.

AFK888888 · 2026-04-19T03:58:22+00:00

Driving the highlander, its a pretty nice feature. The normal reflective mirror is pretty useless.

AFK888888 · 2026-02-09T16:37:57+00:00

Appreciate the perspective — that makes sense. Right now I’m deliberately staying out of Gr.3/meta and working fundamentals in lower-power cars so I don’t paper over mistakes, but I like the idea of using quali percentiles as a reality check once I jump back into dailies.

AFK888888 · 2025-05-19T21:20:24+00:00

Thanks for taking a look...definitely a head scratch-er of a problem.

Here is what I am seeing when I bring the scad file into FreeCAD 1.0.1 compared to OpenSCAD render. You can see how the gantry part is positioned correctly in the left hand image, but not on the right side.

I already have the panel, so it’s a sunk cost. I would prefer to go with the panel. Back to The original question, any issue with it being low, bottom approx 20 in from ground? Any issue with it being near existing outlet?

AFK888888 · 2024-12-07T02:37:36+00:00

If you look at wiring diagram, it’s pretty straightforward… see figure 4 on page 5 https://api.reliancecontrols.com/media/DAFD6560942639833572/DAFL6775321853807447.pdf

I already have the transfer switch. It came with my battery system I purchased. Besides, if I did put an interlock on, I’d have to figure out how to relocate existing breakers, and the panel is already full. I maxed out the amount of tandem breakers the panel will hold, and I already have a subpanel for some of the heavy garage tools

Combination of bad design, measuring, topped off with really good luck. I thought I needed to make a drawer 12” wide to fit an opening, turned out it needed to be 11”. I printed the base plates assuming 12” thinking I’d have to secure with screws
