I've always found rebates to be absorbed or partially absorbed by manufacturers and middlemen. Saw it all the time with HVAC and insulation programs. Last week you could get a Fiat 500e for $11K discount and 0% financing for 72 months. That financing rate just increased to 3.49%, so there goes...

Let the USA flounder with EV's. Plenty of world-class ones out there to fill the demand. Canada will have even better choices next year. Take this with a big grain of salt because this website can't even spell electric but apparently, Chery is already looking for job applicants on Linkdin.

My Prologue will pull 10kW to energize the heat pump and coolant heater if it's really cold out. (3+7) So unless the wall charger can deliver that, it's using the battery. Niro iirc just has a 6kW coolant heater so it's not as demanding but gets worse cold temp range, especially since the missus...

Christ, I sound like that insufferable pedant that started this thread. I'm at work so this is my work correspondence tone. Gonna have to change it up when I get home and have a pint.

While driving. I only need 5 minutes to warm my cabin, so I can't comment on the garage cooling effects but my semi-educated guess is that it would be negligible unless you plan on leaving it on for a significant amount of time. The vehicle management system will determine where to pull heat...

I can't be arsed to insert multi-quotes so I'll just give some suggestions FWIW. For battery and EV repairs look at a channel called Out Of Spec Renew on YouTube. He just did a big battery swap on a Lightning and it only took him 3 hours. He's also done Leafs and Teslas etc. 2nd gen Leaf is a...

KIA EV6 maybe? 0.9% financing ATM. 800 volt e-GMP platform so they are charge fiends. Sucks to see one pull into a charge spot and be long gone before I'm half-way done.

I've gotten fuzzy on the channel personalities over time. But, back in '88 I had a weekend gig as a dishwasher at O'Tooles in Richmond Hill. I'd put CFNY on the kitchen radio and when the song Warm Leatherette would come on I would crank it. Cook went mental on me one day over that song...

Ford has made no mention of the Mach-E as a platform for anything else whereas GM has numerous offerings under the Ultium platform. I test drove the 2024 Mach E, among others. Loved the looks but it was a bit smaller than I wanted rear seating wise, and it had god-awful rear gear/motor whine...

Watching a couple of EV-slanted youtubers today, I'm not seeing any positives about Ford's cancellation. It might be good for Ford's short-term bottom line but for the next decade it might actually doom them. And I'll bet a kidney the EREV and PHEV will cost just as much if not more than the EV...

Too bad about the Lightning. Aside from the whole topic about commuting in a pickup truck to begin with, it was a nice vehicle. An electrician at work just bought one. Got a very good trade price on their F150 Lariat, and the 110 km daily hwy round trip to work goes from $70 a week to $3.

I'm in one of those programs. Whether it's greenwashing or not I don't care, I get paid 3 cents a kW/h and my overnight rate is 3.8 cents. The 40 amp charger is paid for in less than a year and then my costs to drive drop even further.

I have 2 EV's now. I bought a Prologue last Jan and and the missus picked up a Niro last month. Having a PHEV for years and commuting to work on battery spoiled me with the torque and quietness. I originally put a deposit down on an ID4 but cancelled it after it became a shitshow with the...

Ok thanks for the info. AT was the only one that came up in a Canadian search besides a place in Halifax. I'll look at Maxon but iirc they're UK based. Reason I asked is that my son's Versys shock is leaking, the '08 R1 shock is a relativey easy upgrade for it and there's a local selling his...

Looking to get my '08 OEM R1 rear shock rebuilt. Is Accelerated Technologies a good choice?

I just ordered a Scorpion XT9000 Carbon Trailhead. GP Bikes had a really good price, better than US with conversion. I was shocked when I checked my Bell Star RSD today and saw it was 2016. Damn thing still looks new. Going to miss that Panovision photochromic shield though.

Has the OTD price on the PanAm changed since the promotion?

Put my bike on K and AT. Getting some serious interest so far, they all want me to buy a vin-check first though...

I'm really digging the V85 TT. Not a big market for my current bike unfortunately and I don't like the trade-in values.

Thought I'd end this thread with an update, He passed his M2 exit course and we found a nice 2010 650 Versys with 32k that fits him well. The previous owner, a senior, was unable to ride it anymore due to health issues. It's pretty farkled out, currently at a shop getting new tires and a...
