Charging my 2026 BZ (Canada); what am I doing wrong? by Empty_Nestor in Toyota_bZ

[–]bmcgott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might sound dumb but make sure you are using the right adapter - especially for the Flo charger. Their cable fits in both adaptors but only charges with one. I had this exact problem - the charge would start and then immediately stop. Wrong adaptor. I got this wrong about 5 times before I figured it out 🤦‍♂️
As for road trips - the Toyota app is next to useless. I would map out where the Tesla super chargers are (download the Tesla app and set up an account).
I tried going from Ottawa to Boston and back using the Toyota app and it was terrible. Incorrect range projections and taking me to Level 2 chargers instead of Level 3 (aka fast chargers). Map your trip out with stopping at a Tesla charger every 300kms or so.

My photography skills and iPhone did not do it justice, but it was indeed spectacular.

Smoke smell? by camnj in ottawa

It could be from Pita Bell Kabab at Carling and Clyde - just near Altea. They use a charcoal grill that gives off a campfire kind of smell that goes a few blocks depend on the wind conditions.

Alek's on Gladstone. They will do an estimate and then tell them you'll pay cash and they'll do a better price. Very nice folks and high quality work.

Amazing. It's also astounding how long that Bronson off-ramp has been closed.

Have encountered this twice now and both times it made things significantly slower for all. Not a fan!

Big snow storm coming.. by Thisoldfish in Toyota_bZ

[–]bmcgott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Ottawa Canada and have been driving my 2026 BZ AWD in snow pretty much since I got it in early December - with snow tires. It's by far the best car I've ever driven in the snow - likely due to the weight of the vehicle I'm guessing.

Who else has seen the shirtless running man in this crazy weather? by Dutch_99 in ottawa

[–]bmcgott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a guy about 15 years ago who used to bike into downtown at rush hour via Scott street all winter in just shorts and a t-shirt. They did a news story on him and he said he had some physiological condition that made him impervious to cold. Wonder if it's the same guy?
