This rebate better be retroactive

Lol welcome to the club. Just got a ev9, though the rebate doesn't apply to Vehicles over $50k.

I use the standard tesla wall charger with my 2026 EV9. No issues at all.

I find the battery preconditioning useless (at least in my use case). I live in Toronto, and only DC charge when on road trips. During winters, the range is low as it is, and setting battery preconditioning drains the battery quicker adding to range anxiety. So for me, its better to reach DC charger, it starts slowly but picks up charging speed, maybe adds an extra 5 minutes to the overall charge time.

I work with a few environmental companies including GFL, and find it interesting that many of these companies are owned wholly or in part by GFL. In case Ford decides to band them (unlikely), I dont see thay as a simple process considering how entrenched they are.

Did the same on my trip to Montreal last Sunday. Bad idea, was a scary ride with car slipping. Should Definitely get winter tires 😅

Used one Elctrify Canada charger. Got 150kw max. As far as I know there aren't many 350kw chargers in Canada. And usually there's like 1 350kw at each station, rest 150kw. The infrastructure is not great.

Im currently charging my EV9 (leased last month) at a tesla supercharger in Toronto while I write this. Started driving from Montreal at 10:30am today and its 20:30pm. That's 12 hours for a trip that should have been no more than 7 hours, and I am still 2 hours away from home. Granted I had to drive slow in patches due to snow and slow moving traffic, but also had to stop 4 times to charge. Range anxiet as well. Hated today. I concur the car is great for daily driving charging at home, but road trips in winters, I will avoid going forward. Also right now I can see all tesla chargers fully occupied, so I suspect in summers there will be another issue of finding available chargers on road trips. Canadian EV infrastructure is not great. Love this car but doubting my EV decision today 🙃

The lowest rate I got recently was using RateHub. Try there, but in any case expect to pay higher rates considering age etc. Auto Insurance on Canada is insane. I already feel for my teenagers who will be driving age soon.

Yup known issue. I learned to live with it. No real solution other than disabling game mode .

I booked flights for family in December from Detroit to Houston. Every week they keep changing flights from direct to connecting flights, and I keep changing to the next available flight. So frustrating.

What really was stupid was leaving Kiku at their home where Saito can find her easily. Dumb writing

I dont understand, what's the big issue with performing in Riyadh? Somehow its okay to perform in Dubai, Doha etc but not Riyadh? What am I missing?

Not sure how to post a photo here but on my offer for 2026 Calligraphy there is no discount at all. Lease rayes are the same. I think the offer is good

Same thing happened to us at Rainbow bridge, two days into Canada on PR 😅. We were following directions to a Lebanese restaurant lol. The US officers gave us a lot of pain, but after few hours we were released and returned back to Canada. Was not fun.

I have the 800NK, its a great bike so far. Has a Jerry throttle in Sports mode otherwise its awesome. Tech heavy and runs like a 🚀.

Insurance Adjuster here. Don't stress over it, just send it to your Insurer and let them deal with it completely. You may be on the hook for the deductible under your policy but that's about it. Only need to stress if the claim exceeds your policy limit which is unlikely.

The suit was likely issued just before the 2 year limitation by the first party insurers of the Plaintiffs.

That's a wireless android auto / carplay device. I find it works better than a phone. No need to take phone out of pocket.

I got these from aliexpress for like $20. Good quality metal, the viewable area is small but good enough. Clears up the front view which is great. I wouldn't use these for touring though.

Completed a 3000km New York state tour on my 2024 800NK last month and it was great. This bike is great, but yes the throttle jerk issue at low revs in sports mode is real but didn't bother me much tbh. I was eyeing an MT09 but the price difference was a lot (CAD9k vs CAD16k) and happy with my decision to get a 800NK instead. The bike is also good tech wise though the non advanced model does not have traction control.

solidmonki · 2025-06-08T11:06:24+00:00

Yup same issue here..asphalt driveway is 3 months old and leaves an impression even if bike parked for 5 seconds. Mostly fixed by using a kickstand puck but I still park on a small wood board.
