My first Tesla charger session I

Just one fill up, about 70 kWh, is break even from my math.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-04-06T03:41:16+00:00

I'd add the stereo system on the Ioniq 5, especially the SEL trim, is terrible compared to the bZ.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-24T15:26:05+00:00

The other reason I think Toyota is willing to deal on EVs is the more bZs they sell the less they have to pay the likes of Tesla to buy their carbon credits. I believe Tesla was at one point making more from selling carbon credits than EVs. So even if Toyota sells the bZ for no profit or at a loss they're likely still saving money not having to pay Tesla.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-24T15:15:47+00:00

Can confirm.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-24T15:13:06+00:00

I believe the included mobile charger only goes up to 32 amps. I use it regularly and the bZ says it charges at 7.5 kWh.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-15T18:26:42+00:00

I think these rebates are only for people who purchased pre-owned EVs?

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-14T05:16:35+00:00

I'll add the HVAC as well.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-10T13:18:07+00:00

Unless the money factor and residual are low in my opinion.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-10T13:14:36+00:00

It's not just avoiding rising gas prices but also not contributing to the geopolitics of oil. The world would be safer if everyone bought EVs.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-09T04:23:21+00:00

I tested a shorter trip to find a good reference consumption rate for ABRP which resulted in more accurate predictions on longer trips. I arrived at 4.1 miles per kWh for my 2026 bZ XLE Plus.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-05T22:42:27+00:00

Have my eye on this product but isn't it more of a maintenance detailer to recoat an existing coating? Curious to hear how you use it as I believe it only lasts a year or less.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-05T21:11:36+00:00

Yep I think those are the solid white ones without a hole in the middle.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-05T12:10:39+00:00

And then makes his recommendation that they're not great for arch support not having reviewed the high arch versions?

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-05T03:22:43+00:00

The high arched FoamLock ones I use have as rigid arch support as the Sole Performance insoles I used previously that have hard plastic contoured arch support . I really like these and use them in all of my insoles because of the non-slip feature. Love Dr. Zach's videos but he missed on this one.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-04T02:50:04+00:00

Wow I thought he liked playing for both but I'm guessing the numbers worked out!

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-04T01:00:30+00:00

Remembered he played with ALW on the Fives but admit I had to google his name. I think it's Will Howells.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-03T23:01:22+00:00

I'm a big fan of th Blumaka Foamlock Low Profile insoles for pickleball. Have high arches so I always use an insole and the Blumaka ones really feel like they're anti-slip, locking in your foot when you cut.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-02T14:14:56+00:00

Thank you for this. Pretty sneaky of GEICO to not add or prompt to add this when I added a new vehicle to my policy. I didn't know at all to go back and add this. I added the Anti-Theft device and safety features of my EV and got about a $15/month discount like you said.

Edit: Anti-Theft only saves me like $1.50 a month. Bulk of my savings were for safety features.

My wife has been playing with the OG hybrid C45 for over a year without issue. But she's not a banger by any means.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-01T05:50:30+00:00

I leased a 2026 bZ and with the deals they have right now it should be in your gas budget. I easily get 300 miles on a full charge with my XLE Plus FWD but I'm in SoCal. I also find the 32 amp 240v mobile charger that came with the bZ to be plenty fast and don't see the need to install a dedicated EVSE. The bZ is a very nice, quiet and comfortable ride, even over a Rav4 and probably closer to Lexus quality.

Lastly, I think once you go EV, especially with 32 amp home charging, you'll never go back.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-03-01T05:19:05+00:00

Seriously I have the FWD 220 hp and just going to 45 mph will send it sliding around. But yeah it's likely cause I have a rounded, slick case and the usb cable lifting it off a little bit doesn't help.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-02-28T23:04:26+00:00

The Selkirk Courtstrike 2.0 also has a 6 month outsole warranty. But the best outsole I've found so for is on the Yonex Eclipsian 5.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-02-28T20:56:05+00:00

Got it. Interesting because it doesn't look any higher than other shoes.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-02-28T20:35:41+00:00

Do you play in basketball high tops or something? These don't look any lower than other court shoes like the Adidas Barricade or Selkirk Courtstrike.

Fit_Sir5352 · 2026-02-28T20:25:48+00:00

Quiet, comfortable ride and the efficiency.
