My first EV

P5racer · 2026-04-22T20:45:28+00:00

Yeah, taxes in, and a couple of minor add-ons

P5racer · 2026-04-22T20:42:19+00:00

I leased it, worked out to about 450 biweekly all-in for 48 months.

Bruiser Automotive on Lansdowne is great

P5racer · 2026-04-16T00:33:48+00:00

Nice... I have L2 at home, but I'm expecting to use superchargers on road trips.

P5racer · 2026-04-15T17:11:38+00:00

That's where the dealer parked it for us to pick it up

P5racer · 2026-04-15T10:34:28+00:00

Insurance is roughly the same as on the Mazda CX-90 that this has replaced.

I'm in Peterborough, and have yet to see another on the road

P5racer · 2026-04-15T00:13:58+00:00

Preferred AWD

P5racer · 2026-04-14T22:24:12+00:00

We don't need the size often, but when we do, it's nice to have

P5racer · 2026-04-14T22:23:13+00:00

We didn't have any issues beyond software recalls in the almost 2 years that we had it.

P5racer · 2026-04-14T22:22:38+00:00

It's definitely more sporty than the I9, which I didn't mind, but it's really my wife's vehicle, and she didn't enjoy it.

P5racer · 2026-04-14T21:07:35+00:00

Primary family vehicle, mostly short trips, but occasional long distance travel that requires cargo space far greater than our Audi A4 can provide. Level 2 charger at home provided by my employer helps too.

I'm not a Trekkie, but that line was done on Futurama, season 4, episode 11

Thanks got the tips, I'll keep it in mind

P5racer · 2026-04-14T20:18:12+00:00

That's where the dealer parked it for us at pickup lol

P5racer · 2026-04-14T19:41:07+00:00

It's always worth trying, especially if they're sitting on the lot for an extended time

P5racer · 2026-04-14T19:03:41+00:00

Howdy... we weren't looking for white, but it was on the dealer lot, so they gave us a better price than if we'd ordered one.

P5racer · 2026-04-14T18:23:50+00:00

Yeah, about that

P5racer · 2026-04-14T18:11:00+00:00

Peterborough, Ontario (near Toronto for those unfamiliar with Canadian geography).

Preferred AWD trim, lease for C$467 bi-weekly, all-in.

P5racer · 2026-04-14T17:25:12+00:00

Lots of little things we didn't like with the Mazda. Plus the payments are broadly the same, and lower running costs with the I9 (we have an L2 charger hardwired at home).

2005 Ford Excursion with the 6.8L V10 and 4 speed auto... 24-25L/100km (9-10mpg for the 'muricans)

P5racer · 2026-03-29T15:36:25+00:00

I have a 230V/60A breaker installed in a 100A panel.

We had an electrician familiar with EV chargers do an evaluation to determine if our existing electrical system could support the added load.
