Thank you for letting me know of the $79k price for a new one. Just curious, does that include delivery and the other documentation fees? That is how mine ended up at about $93k. With that in mind, it sounds like my price may be too high. Thus, I just lowered it to $79,999. Let me know if that...

It sounds like you are better off just buying a new one.

Thanks for the kind words!

Sorry, I could not figure out how to post more photos. 2200 miles. The vehicle is perfect.

Thanks Rob. Those are all good points.

Thanks for the insight on the 30% loss on the Rivian conversion. But even with that loss, that drops the "usable" power from 125 kwh to about 85kwh. I would respectfully disagree on your comment that the feed to the batteries is miniscule compared to the load. A single 3.6Kwh battery will...

Yes, I think 2 clowns makes for a circus!

Ecoflow is the only one I know of with the smart panel. Electrical Panel Xperts (without the "E") are great! Glad to meet another Houstonian!

That is awesome, well done!

Thanks for your kind words and I am glad that you found it useful!

Thanks for your post. I am actually considering about a 100KW Tesla system once Tesla fully rolls out the Virtual Power Plant in Texas. Every summer afternoon in Texas the spot price for electricity skyrockets. If Tesla will pay the $2 / kwh they have done on the pilot plants, I could create...

All good points. I am not sure how much vampire drain there is. The batteries automatically charge to 100% at midnight every night. Right now it is 10:22 pm, so almost 24 hours. One battery is 97% and one is 100%, which translates to only 1.5% vampire drain of the entire capacity. To be...

Thanks for your kind words. I have the battery and smart home panel links in the bottom of the Youtube notes. But when I tried to paste here, it copied an enormously long URL and I was concerned it might not work. So, just look at the bottom of the Youtube notes. In the Youtube video there...
