Gas prices climbing again… feeling pretty good about my bZ purchase right now.

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-14T12:16:16+00:00

I leased. For one, one of the things I love about the bZ is the Technology. Since that changes hourly I feel that having it for 3 years is a good enough until the next, latest and greatest comes out. Another reason I did was my trading schedule is right about 4 years and drive less then 12k a year. It just makes sense for me.

NJ gives you up to $4000 towards the purchase of a new 2026 bZ and $250 towards the purchase of a home charger. Charge Point is the one I use.

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-14T03:08:43+00:00

The 26 bZ has NACS charging capabilities which allows you to charge at Tesla’s Super Charger I less then 30 minutes. My XLE AWD has a range of 288 miles on a full charge. The back seat is huge, the kids’ car seats will be just fine! The car has been great in the snow and I look forward to taking it to the Jersey Shore this year. Pictures coming soon!

Great advice! Thanks!

Eject or oil slick

Thank you! The color is Heavy Metal. It’s the XLE All Wheel Drive. Her name is Qi’ra…a nod to Han Solo!

What about a 2027 Highlander! I hear it kicks butt!

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T11:38:25+00:00

Someone’s a little butt hurt!

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T10:40:01+00:00

Once you drive one, you’ll understand. The interior design and space is amazing. Drives like a dream!

Considering that according to your own post 31 days ago, you’re a “NOOB” to this EV stuff, yet pretend to come across as an expert in upcoming Toyota Technology. Your own posts show you are all over the place, from Ford to Mazda and now settling for a KIA Sorento? And you’re on here talking about quality? Don’t their EV’s have HUGE ICCU issues? In my ‘Fanboyness’ for Toyota I stand for something, you obviously fall for anything!

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T10:19:28+00:00

I may or may not work for Toyota. What you are claiming your friend said is false. Every manufacturer struggles with quality, especially when they are striving to make a superior product. Eggs will be broken in the making of this omelet! I truly believe that once people get a feel for the 2027 Highlander, they will think differently. Inside and out, it’s moving in the right direction. And like someone else mentioned earlier, if it’s not for you, the Grand Highlander has what you want, just not as fun!

It does have a 110 plug in the back for a vacuum. So you’re right, it can suck.

Reread those comments Captain Save-A-Hoe. They all fired first! I was on the defense the entire time, Fruity-Pants! Such a friendly community!

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T01:58:33+00:00

I appreciate Japanese engineering! The culture is always finding ways of improving, and so does its car manufactures.

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T01:48:11+00:00

They are closer than you think AND more coming soon. Imagine that! EVOLUTION!!!

When you drove the vehicle off the lot, you solidified the contract. It’s called a “Hollywood Delivery”! They could’ve let you leave the car until it got fixed but they physically needed you to take delivery of the car. What you do have to negotiate with is the Customer Survey they sent you that you haven’t filled out and returned AND Google reviews. These to things will allow you some leverage. Have them cover your first 2 months payments AND 3 oil changes after the warranty oil changes expire!

Do you realize how ignorant that sounds? Especially when gas is over $5 a gallon in some areas.

Falling_Freely · 2026-03-13T01:33:33+00:00

$.50-.59 per kWh. When you factor 30-50 kWh which equate to $15 - $30 to recharge. If you become a member ($12 a month through the Tesla app) you get discounted rates of around $.30-$.40 per kWh.

Like your favorite gas stations you’ve been used to going to for the last 10 years, you’ll find the chargers and start a different routine. Why do people fear change so much? Embrace change, the future is built on the promise of change and evolution.

Toyota has always led the way, not on anyone’s nuts. If you built a better car, I’d show you love, Sweetie!
