That is brutal.. and they’re supposed to be able to power a house for 3 days during an outage? :suspicious:

Glad I didn’t wait and snagged a lightly used Limited instead.

have you read about any of the issues that Nissan has had with battery management in the past?

Also, this is yet another reason to buy a Tesla, the charging network is extremely good. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/ele...in-california/

Tesla with air ride and 12 8 inch subs. not finished. According to comments system barley effects the range.

6000W for an hour is 6kwh. So if you only have a few hours range… what’s that 5-10% of a full charge? That’s fairly significant, but saying that the system wouldn’t be using 100% of its capability all the time.

We test drove the leaf, few years ago, they wanted 4.99% financing during the pandemic and you would want at least the sv model which is a few thousand more than the base for a larger battery. From what I recall the monthly payments were like $70 more a month than a model 3. More out dated tech. On the test drive the infotainment system had some glitch and wouldn't display certain things, I forgot what, asked the sales guy and they were like yea there's issues and we gotta update it. :suspicious: also the back seats were quite cramped for a hatchback, less head and leg room than model 3. :fulloffuck:

Is this the extended range or standard range Lightning?

Not surprising - the bolt and MachE don't have heat pump.
The ID.4 has one but they're going to be shipped without one for a while because of supply shortages.

It's the standard range one, we didn't get offered the extended from Ford.

*Based on a daily consumption of 30kWh

Not powering any truck systems, no motors, no internal heat, no friction losses etc etc.

On a different note, I got to see the new iX1 on display while visiting BMW dealership with my parents in HK (they wanted to test drive the iX). It's interestingly spec'd at 316hp and 364 lb-ft of torque which is not far off of the base iX 326hp.

I thought the car is pretty solid would consider one if they released it in Vancouver.

My friend recently took delivery of an i4... it's really nice but I was totally confused by why they didn't create a front trunk like the Model 3? There's nothing up there but they just covered it over in black plastic and left it at that.

Totally shocked me why they would pass up an opportunity for storage space, it's a big selling point on the Model 3.

^ I think most of these ICE-converted EVs have a ton of other hardware under the hood and engineers can't find another spot to house them due to the space inefficiencies of an ICE platform. Tesla doesn't have this problem because it's built ground up as an EV so packaging is more efficient.

Still doesn't explain why the iX doesn't have a usable frunk though.

Personally, I am really surprised that neither BMW nor Mercedes are releasing the iX1 and EQA here in N.America. CUV is supposed to be pretty popular segment in N.America too, and it doesn't make sense that everyone is forced into a larger vehicle just bcos we're the N.American market.

I wonder why they delayed the eqc and didn't even release it here. They made this huge advertising campaign with the weeknd

Has anyone actually took a delivery of a tesla recently?

Just reading online makes my head hurt, how bad is it really for things like
- paint
- panel gap
- curbed rims
- condensation in head/tail lights
- interior trim popping out

lol?

you'll be the one to test all that out in a couple of days bro! you tell us how it goes. TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS (for evidence)

Those were common issues a few years back. When I took delivery in 2021 the car looked perfect, I only noticed a couple of paint defects when I washed the car for the first time a few days after delivery, also the rear bumper flared out a bit in one corner which was barely noticeable. The paint issues polished out and a rear bumper bracket was replaced. Last summer I had the driver seat replaced under warranty due to faulty seat motor..Other than that its been a sound car. If you do notice any issues with your car during pick up simply point them out and ask to be fixed or you can refuse delivery all together and wait for another car.

Edit:I also suggest joining the local Tesla groups on FB

Music is dynamic so will only see a full load maybe 30% of the time. Will have to wait for the full video but I would not be surprised if they have extra batteries installed. Lipo batteries are big int the SPL world.

I've taken delivery of a 2018 LR RWD and a 2021 Dual Motor with no more issues than I have had on any other car i've bought.

As for the FB Groups, avoid them like the plague. It's the same questions over and over and over again.

That makes it perfect for newbies to learn.

If only there's a place where knowledge can be kept on top, discussions can be kept and not be pushed into oblivion, none of the PFA garbage, and the information could be searched easily.

If only such a technology exists.......

Mazda Canada CEO said that pricing will be from the mid-40s to low 60s which sounds low considering what the CX-9 goes for and how much better this is. Bet the PHEV comes in cheaper than the gas engine version once the rebate is taken into account.

If pricing really is that low then I'm getting really excited for the CX-70 PHEV as that would suggest a nicely loaded one is 50k. I don't really love my RDX, it's been pretty unreliable, it guzzles gas, and it's not particularly well resolved. At the same I don't drive it much so a replacement for it better be awesome.

Stay focused on the BGTS!!!

What's happening to you to make it unreliable?

I dunno, it looks pretty good, but it's first gen engine and phev tech for Mazda. None of the previous Mazda turbos have been known for their reliability, Mazda speeds, and they still rust worse than 90s Japanese cars:heckno: for some reason Mazda's are all crazy rusty.
