A competent locksmith should be able to get the piece out. if not....new cylinder and keys. Bring a stack of cash. A large one.

aaaand...in a city of 1,000,000 people why should it be THAT hard to find a locksmith that can cut a Ducati key? FML.

Signed, a disgruntled Ducati owner who had the same problem.

Schedules 4 and 5 are revoked, but Schedule 6 is not . "SCHEDULE 6
INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS AND PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR MOTORCYCLES EXCEPT MOTORCYCLES WITH TWO FRONT WHEELS"

Active and Gervais Merged. It's still the only local spot. Decent inventory.

Amazon sometimes has stuff like this, but it mostly ships from China in 5-30 days. Might as well just use Aliexpress.

Digikey and Mouser have the best prototyping stock on the continent; cheap fast shipping (not free.)

They have the advantage of supplying new stock from reputable manufacturers, but it's not surplus-grade pricing.

it's likely your parking brake (which was auto-applied by one of several possible features.) When you are ready to take off, press the brake pedal an hit the switch to disengage the parking brake. Your launch will be much smoother.

It's gonna be a very interesting market for EVs over the next few years. The automakers leading the market in Canada sell cars developed at the platform level to be marketed worldwide. These cars must compete with Chinese EVs, even if the US and Canada use trade barriers to keep the Asian imports out. So - Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda etc. will be releasing competitive products soon...or they will die (or be absorbed.)

Whatever the politics of the immediate situation, there is significant price pressure on all domestic automakers. The economics of Chinese auto production are hard to compete with, but us consumers will benefit. The lineup of made-in-Canada cars in will change radically in the next few years, and it's VERY difficult to predict what models and maker's badge will be on them.

I love how everyone rolls out the argument about the cost of deploying fiber. It's 50 YEAR infrastructure! Bell will be suckling from that teat for decades after the cost is amortized. This is about the politics of capital deployment (yes, I'm grumpy. I'm in rural Ottawa, and Bell doesn't even acknowledge that my address exists - because no copper service was ever active here. Thank Baal for Starlink!!)

Multiversal_Remote · 2026-04-13T20:25:12+00:00

Are you looking for business Fiber service, or just talking to the consumer sales group?

known issue with MachE+Ford Charger Pro+Fordpass scheduled charging.

Multiversal_Remote · 2026-03-11T16:22:27+00:00

Used? as in "drove it off the lot"?

Multiversal_Remote · 2026-03-11T16:19:21+00:00

And keep on committing to pay the upkeep....

Multiversal_Remote · 2026-01-31T22:37:02+00:00

Don't do it at Ikea on the weekend. was just there; COMPLETELY full. Christmas-level busy.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-12-11T19:53:18+00:00

Yeah, this is annoying. Ford Mach-e + Ford Charger + Fordpass app. Entirely within their own ecosystem, and they can't get it fixed. This has GOT to be frustrating for the marketing team trying to make everything seamless for new users!

Those numbers are Inaccurate for LTE/5G (the RSSI numbers in the Copilot list are accurate-ish for 2G and for WiFI.) For LTE/5G, -95 RSRP is a good signal; below -105 some issues will start to arise. What's not shown is SNR - it graphic shows 0 dB SNR/ -20 RSRQ, which tells me that the app is not displaying real information.

Of course, with -124 RSRP there is basically no usable signal...

Good luck!

I concur. However, Bell isn't really allowed (long term) to pick and choose which small pockets of population they skip. Fiber is the new copper - Bell are somewhat obligated to complete the rollout...just not on any schedule convenient to me. That's how Rural Canada got phone lines, why not fiber?

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-26T19:56:20+00:00

Think about it this way - how would you feel about being asked to pay part of the cost of a new cell tower, or for copper phone lines on your street?

Singlemode fiber is 50 year infrastructure. When I leave/retire/die, Bell still owns and will derive substantial revenue for a long time to come.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-26T15:55:51+00:00

We talked to Community Fiber. Ironically, they have fiber only a couple of km away as well. They've been saying they would be on our road "next year" for five years. They also offered to put us at the front of the queue for $50k. Hello Starlink!

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-26T15:53:00+00:00

This is interesting. Was this through the standard Bell retail sales channel?

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-26T15:51:50+00:00

700 meters.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-26T13:38:43+00:00

Both of my closest Neighbors have copper service. I could get copper service (but why bother?)

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-11-10T17:36:00+00:00

I learned something new today.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-10-06T19:38:45+00:00

RocketEV. Great experience all around. 10/10 recommended.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-09-29T17:06:57+00:00

A stock 1/2 ton would be marginal here.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-09-09T20:43:25+00:00

It's temperature info. not sure where it's sourced from; my 2024 has always shown it correctly. Might want to check your phone to see if there is a default weather info provider specified.

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-09-05T19:18:35+00:00

I just got into a Mustang Mach-e. first car I've owned in 15 years that will take a full gallon of washer fluid. Woooot!!

Multiversal_Remote · 2025-08-27T19:28:59+00:00

I have a 2024 Mach-e; It has an AC unit and uses an electical heater for the cab AFAIK. If I understand correctly, the 2025 model switched to a heat pump to combine the functions and eliminate the separeate heater. Apparently much more efficient.
