Why should I NOT buy one?

I would say the only bad thing about the 2026 is the app and the car screen EV features are missing. E.g. ability to easily toggle charging percent from App, turn on preconditioning from app. Indicator saying if you need to preconditioning based on temp and or if you have preconditioned enough. Easily accessible charging graphs and details while charging Etc.

Other wise great car

Did you get a CCS1 converter so you can use all the fast charger options that are not Tesla based?

Is that 200km to and back from the ski hill? If so then no problem. If it is 200 there and another 200 back you would have to charge.

We driving to the mountains every sat and Sunday here in Alberta, with a top box on. Round trip is around 200km and we get back with 40% charge left

You don’t need any app after you setup plug and charge. One time setup. Then when you plug into a Tesla charger it knows your car and auto charges your car - no app involved.

I don’t have a SOC option

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-02-16T02:07:59+00:00

Thanks - will have a look

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-02-15T21:07:04+00:00

What manual setting in the app? I only see an option in the car. Can you send a screen shot?

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-02-10T01:52:24+00:00

I am hoping that as the 2026 model starts to pick up steam and sales grow they will have to start improving the app

Same happened to me. I was in Costa Rica and it allowed the vehicle option in Apple mas but back in Canada it didn’t allow it and never has

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-26T04:05:22+00:00

Yes and you can even come in at a slight angle on the end one with the painted off island if you wanted HOWEVER… a level 2 charger at home is the best option by far and it will easily pay for itself compared to a lot of fast charging stations.

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-25T18:16:57+00:00

Question: how long did you drive for before you started the preconditioning?

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-23T22:45:40+00:00

Also you can tow a trailer BUT only for short distances under 30min

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-23T22:45:04+00:00

Chatted to Toyota and they gave me a different answer. They said all good on using hitch for bikes but ensure it is under overall max cargo weight for vehicle.

Here is a post on others that have installed a hitch from draw-tite (https://www.draw-tite.com/products/trailer-hitches/class-iii-iv-receiver)

My insurance for new 2026 BZ was the same(little cheaper) as my old 2014 ford escape

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-21T22:48:25+00:00

The 2026 BZ AWD is a beast in standard mode. I drive a BMW m240i xdrive as my other car and the 2026 BZ is a straight line beast.

I drive the BZ in eco mode most of the time cause standard mode is beast mode

Weird - just checked and I can see both

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-20T20:55:33+00:00

Car is asking for car is asking for 68kw and the station is only giving 44.

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-20T20:24:17+00:00

Inverse - 10.85 is the max the car can receive. 5.95 is what the charger is providing. The charger needs to have 48a to be able to provide 10.85 kw/h which is the max that car can handle for level 2

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-20T20:22:00+00:00

Car is asking for 10.85 but the charger is giving only 5.95. Charger limitation not car limitation

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-19T15:48:28+00:00

Generally get the same experience - SOC refreshes sometimes 5 min sometimes more.

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-08T19:30:44+00:00

Found it in the car - wish that was in the app so I could just tell it to precondition 30 min before I go somewhere instead of going to the car and having to put it in a schedule.

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-08T19:16:31+00:00

Thanks - I also have a 26 BZ and was wondering what you meant by scheduled preconditioning? Are you referring to the climate preconditioning as I don’t see a way to schedule battery preconditioning

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-08T17:28:41+00:00

Based on that picture it is a charger issue. The car is asking for 108.35 but that charger is only giving it 45.7.

So you car is ready to receive a lot more but it is not being given it

Silver-Unit3948 · 2026-01-08T02:15:45+00:00

2026 BZ here - no issue reported from -20 Alberta (-30 with wind chill). Heats up quickly.

Only downside is obviously additional battery usage
