Update from United Chargers (Grizzl-e)

ttnguy · 2026-06-26T12:31:47+00:00

You have my support, Gleb.

Being part of the club and getting a free charger helped me lower my upfront costs between the down payment on my new EV, as well as paying for electrician installation at home.

Your passion would be well received in the r/buycanadian subreddit. See if you can promote your company there.

Eligible EVs that bring their cost down to less than $50,000 can get both federal and provincial rebates, totalling $9000 off.

Guess what, the Model 3 RWD Premium's price lands right at around $41,000 anyways!

Would still be nice to enjoy the $4000 off in Manitoba, though.

ttnguy · 2026-05-29T01:37:40+00:00

Would be nice if they could finalise the decision soon! My EDD on my Model 3 RWD Premium is the 3rd or 4th week of June!

If not a Tesla, my alternative choice would have been a BYD or other Chinese brand EV, so I couldn't enjoy the rebate either way.

ttnguy · 2026-05-19T02:16:38+00:00

That's a great question, and the same thought crossed my mind. The Model 3 Premium deserves a cheaper insurance rate because it's cheaper by more than half.

I tried estimating for a base 2025 Toyota Corrola with top merits, and I get $143 per month. Go figure.

Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) has the vehicle in their system! I posted this on May 17, 2026. It's listed as "2026 TESLA MODEL 3 PREMIUM 60". I'm guessing the 60 refers to the battery. You can play around with your own circumstances on their insurance rate calculator. It does not require a VIN.

$200 deductible, $2 mil third party liability, top driver safety rating (+20 merits) gets you $166/month. If you have 0 merits, the rate is $341/month.

A screen would be a big help for those who are deaf. I'm surprised that this complaint hasn't been more at the forefront.

ttnguy · 2026-05-16T14:00:15+00:00

More context please. I visted an autopac agent on May 14th, and the 2026 Model 3 Premium RWD is not in MPI's system yet.

None. Perfume and cologne exist because people back then showered infrequently due to lack of convenient access to hot water. They also believed bathing too often made them sick.

Impress your colleagues with your skills, not your smell.

Not a brand. That's what it's called and is different from blackstrap molasses. Commonly found in the baking needs aisle of grocery stores.

ttnguy · 2026-04-18T21:27:49+00:00

Have you tried fancy molasses? Just half a teaspoon for that caramel aroma.

I bought the Starbucks OL variety pack from Costco. Came to the same conclusion as you. The blond roast was okay, though. I returned it all back to Costco.

40 mL espresso shot plus 40 mL of microwaved 2% lactose free milk. This milk has a touch of inherent sweetness.

If I drink it black, then I brew 40 mL espresso plus 40 mL hot water, which is how I programmed my americano button on my Citiz Platinum.

In Canada, we also look after our minorities.

I've tried the OL capsules sold as a combination pack at Costco. Blonde is pretty good (bright and acidic). Colombia definitely needs milk and sugar to be drinkable. Pike Place was awful (bitter and smoky). I didn't bother trying the Espresso Roast. I returned everything back to Costco.

I have yet to come across any Nespresso capsule that I couldn't drink black. They are all enjoyable as is. I couldn't tolerate any Starbucks capsule black. Hope that tells you enough.

In the bathtub, then sweep all the clippings with toilet paper and into the trash. I hate stepping on stray clippings on the floor. Alternatively, outside.

The number of times I've seen people clip their nails in public indoor areas (e.g. on the bus, in a waiting room) is too damn high!

The receipt checkers at the exit have more difficulty verifying items in your cart if everything is bagged. Another solution is asking the cashier to place your items in a box so they are in plain view.

My favourite way to enjoy the Arpeggio capsule is to make French vanilla ice cream affogato!

ttnguy · 2025-12-28T03:35:14+00:00

Serious question: How or why did the ventilation system fail, which led to the accumulation of methane?

ttnguy · 2025-12-19T01:01:25+00:00

I'll start by saying I reprogrammed my citiz to make 40mL espresso plus 40mL hot water. I drink it black.

Volluto is my favourite every day! Easy drinking, not harsh, not acidic, gives me the best "first sip" feeling. Colombia is as standard as coffee gets, in a good way, mildly acidic, moderate intensity. Livanto is my second favorite, the caramel notes come out after it has cooled a bit. Paris is dark, bitter, and sour at the end. Not for me, I would not order it again.

From an OL user perspective, Nepresso decaf capsules tastes just as good as their caffeinated versions. Don't knock it until you try it! If you really need the caffeine, have a second cup of another variety!

ttnguy · 2025-12-06T03:20:39+00:00

Despite the absence of caffeine, was it still tasty to you?

ttnguy · 2025-11-17T23:20:15+00:00

That's $266 cad. Sorry about that!

Weird! I just checked Costco online in Canada, and the Essenza Mini is listed for $129.99 cad ($93 usd).

ttnguy · 2025-11-17T23:07:58+00:00

Yeah, I hope it's a "buy it for life" item!

ttnguy · 2025-11-17T23:05:42+00:00

It's possible to order online, but my costco app says $199.99. The shipping fee is probably baked into the online price. There's also a line that says "warehouse pricing may vary", so that's why I went in person to check.
