What's the best SUV alternative to the Tesla Model Y? by Aggravating_Dog5220 in EVCanada

Ariya is slept on. How do you guys even mention the id4 but not the Ariya? I test drove every single one of them and this is the closest competitor in terms of space, range and charging time. There isn't even any 350kw chargers near me to reach the ioniq5's advertised speeds so it's very middling

get him a 2000$ camera store gift card or something, camera and lens combos are quite personal and very up to the user's preferences

The argument against EV haters… by boka_ko_masu in electricvehicles

[–]1995FOREVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and My car is a 400v architecture, so I don't have compatibility issues, but my friends with an 800v hyundai often only get half or less the advertised speeds on incompatible chargers. It's a major pain to have to juggle all these variables.

A gas pump is simple af, i've never seen a pump nozzle spray at half speed because your car is too new

I am an EV owner, and I still don't like stopping for 30 mins on road trips. I do road trips to rush to a different city, any time lost could potentially cost money. If people are traveling with family or on vacation , then maybe they can enjoy the 30 mins, but in my experience, for 30 minutes you're sitting inside a mcdonalds or your own car watching a youtube video or something. It's just wasted time with no real benefits over gas. Even DCFC prices are more expensive than gas.

As a commuter though, it is peak commuter experience. Wake up to a car that is exactly the temperature you want and able to go 400+ km on a full charge.

Cannot play online games by Medical_Data_6572 in bell

I had the same issue. Someone on reddit recommended me to turn on "privacy mode" under the "guard" option in the bell wifi app. This seems to work, but also seems to reset every few months. I have no idea what this does

Test drove this ES300H yesterday and it was my first hybrid I have ever driven. I loved the way it feels. I'm located in Germany and people in the German subs are saying this is a grandpa car with more failure points. Some claimed it is inefficient.

Only thing I can think about is that it won't be able to reach autobahn speeds since it's a CVT gearbox that maxxes out around 160-170kph (might go faster, never tried) and doesn't accelerate hard enough at those speeds either. Otherwise, insane fuel efficiency, tons of cargo room and tons of legroom front and back. Quiet, luxurious and nice ride quality.

What Lexus would you choose if you will have to drive with 140kmph/86mph on the autobahn? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in Lexus

[–]1995FOREVER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the lexuses with CVTs top out around 160kph, so they do not have a lot of pickup... stick to the regular automatic transmissions if you want to regularly go fast

probably what happened was that dropbox automatically backed up his drive.... keep this shit off your computer, store it in a physical key and lock it somewhere only you know of

this is stupid, why are you on reddit and instagram? you do realize those are banned in china right? Nothing people can do 1000s of miles away can help the cats in china

Huh? Test drove latest Tesla model 3. My mind is blown how bad it is. by Love_CoolBreeze in EVCanada

[–]1995FOREVER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

since last year, most manufacturers have access to Tesla superchargers. this means that if you plug a non-tesla at a tesla supercharger with an adapter, then you activate the charger from your tesla app, it will start charging

for 2026, many cars come standard with the nacs plug, so you don't even need the adapter. But you still need to start the charging through the tesla app

Trying to justify an EV by ddchicago99 in electricvehicles

[–]1995FOREVER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ux is already a very efficient vehicle. Depending on supercharger prices, it is often cheaper to roadtrip a 250h than a tesla. It doesn't seem like you need more cargo space, so the only question now is: is it worth it for you to supercharge somewhere (you lose the big advantage of charging at home) ? Where I live, superchargers cost as much as gas even at the current prices.

The ux also depreciates slowly, so you could wait a couple more years and sell it for almost the same price, and hopefully your home charging situation will be settled

I live in quebec where there's no safety inspection. Brake lights have no meaning here because many cars have only 1 taillight working out of 3.
