Has to be an AC converter.

I want to see the written response that Rivian supposedly gave him. He posted this exact story on the Facebook group. If someone hits you and totals your car, you get the value of the car...you don't get a brand new car. Nothing different about this here.

In my case, I bought a used 21" tire to be only used as a spare. It was $125 so no plan on ever rotating 5 tires since my wheels are 22".

Not as important on an EV as an ICE car but the fluid that is in the chambers of the ABS system, master cylinder and the calipers needs to be changed as well. You did the first part right...just need to attach a pressure bleeder like the Motive and bleed the fluid out of each caliper until you...

More than even that...having moisture in the brake fluid is going to cause very EXPENSIVE brake components to fail earlier.

Well...they don't call them Suckaroos for nothing! I replaced both half shafts on our Honda Element as preventative maintenance at 200K. Boots were still perfect.

Do you have the glass that darkens electronically? Heard you weren't supposed to tint those.

I rotate my tires myself every 5000 miles. Two 3 ton jacks and pucks.

Yep...I always change out the brake fluid every 3 years on all my cars and trailers that have brakes.

I would never use that. It has a petroleum base that eventually evaporates but will actually hurt rubber. In addition, it has acetone, heptane and other solvents in it which will also attack rubber. I can't even remember having a CV boot split before the joint wore out. CV joint boots have...

I was going to do my windshield in a blocking tint but after driving my sister's car at night, no way I would put ANYTHING on the windshield. I am going to tint the drivers row the same as the back seat which is what I do on all my cars. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. I have had a cop...

Just measured my Wallbox Pulsar with a Fluke 325 and it was toggling between 20mA and 10mA(meter precision) so assuming its 15mA, that's 3.6W. Supposedly there is a mode to turn off the LED light ring....I think I will live with the 3.6W!

Kinda cool. I 3D print too so always like to see what other people come up with.

If that's really a concern, do they turn their HVAC system off when they leave?

Kinda curious why you wouldn't want it to be on if you are both not there.
