Looks awesome! Unfortunately won't be able to make it.

As a complete aside, does OPTIMA even make products for Rivians? I'm a big fan of yellowtop AGMs in my ICE vehicles but am completely unaware of any Rivian compatible 12V options.

I used to work for Clarios when they were still part of Johnson Controls. Clarios does make Li-Ion batteries which when I was there were made for Mercedes plus some other OEM's not in the automotive market or companies that altered vehicles (electric inboard/offboard motors, forklifts, converting Ford Transits to BEVs, bucket lifts, etc.). Last I heard from some friends still working in that facility, they've switched to non-automotive applications. I think they said they were looking to make 12V/24V/48V packs in addition to other massive packs.
