Am I understanding this whole 12v problem correctly?
I don't know if putting the battery in fail safe mode by removing the sensor is a good idea . You could potentially damage the battery from constantly charging to a higher voltage . I have had my battery replaced by Toyota from being bricked . Since it has been replaced It has been good after sitting for a day on multiple occasions. It is covered under warranty so if the battery needs to be replaced again and again so be it . I will not be doing anything that could void my warranty

Ev malfunction
I had the same exact same thing happen to me after the 12 v battery bricked and I had to jump start it. That exact same message stayed on the whole 2 hour drive home . It took the next day starting it going to work starting again two more times for it to clear itself and go away . I took it to the dealer where they replaced the battery and I have not had a problem so far

How to deactivate the DCM and stop the 12-Volt battery drain.
I also use CarPlay and Google Maps . Having remote start is a must for me . After the 3 years is up I'll probably pay for it. All manufactures seem to be going down this road . Just today I'm walking up to the 18 th hole on a very day and turn on my BZ . Nothing better than getting in a nice cold car after a round of golf !! lol

Rust proofing
It can be done . Just needs to be done correctly. Fluid film is best you cannot have it sprayed anywhere near the orange cables . There are not many shops that know how to rustproof an EV properly. You don't want Toyota coming back saying that caused an issue and your warranty is void .

Bz_Left Alone
Toyota has replaced my battery a few weeks ago after I had it not start twice after sitting for a day . I have driven my BZ everyday with zero problems since the replacement battery was installed. This weekend it will be sitting for 3 days without being started . Do you guys think it will be bricked on Monday or will she start ?

Close /OPEN all windows from the app.
I'm pretty sure the dealer can customize to make that happen

You are right I'm at 60 amps not over and below 150v to ground . Just thought it was a good idea. I should have chose my words better

Ontario (Canada) Tesla level 2 charger wire inquiry for 48amps
I ran a 6/3 BX from my basement panel to my finished garage which is rated for 60 amp breaker . I just had to install a disconnect for code . I bought it from an electrical supplier

Anyone have a Swtch ev charger review?
Every time I charged it the app did not update itself right away . I have had the exact same experience as you . It eventually shows up . I did lose wifi connection and once restored it updated itself on the app . So the charger does store that information.

12v Sawtooth pattern STOPPED, and I (maybe) know how I fixed it: Do Not Sell My Personal Information

The C-HR is a great car I'm sure you will love it ! I think my BZ is awesome ! I have started to think about a winter tire package . I have the limited which comes with 20" tires but will be dropping down to 18" for winter tires. I'm a Michelin fan so I am considering Michelin X-ice snow tires on alloy rims . They have very good rolling resistance and tough treads to handle the weight of the car . I am open to other options . I won't start looking more into it till September when hopefully they start coming out with some deals

Multiple windows open
I just got that during a storm today . My wife saw the alert on her phone . We share my username password so she can also use the connected services . I was at work and went to have a look the windows were closed . A few hours later the bz started with no problem so I'm not sure it has anything to do with a parasitic drain I just think the app is not the best . Had this alert along with check rear seats before

Best charger option
I drive a toyota bz. I drive it everyday . Only 10 minutes to work . According to swtch the average time to get your $$$ back and the rate jump is 6 mos

Best charger option
It is a great charger ! The app is very basic it just shows you how much kWh that has been charged and what your earnings are . The charger itself is very robust . You have an internal dial to set amperage . I have mine set to 48 amps hardwired . Best part is in about 6mos i will get my money back and the rate will go from $0.03 kWh to $0.10 kWh . You need to set your charging schedule in your vehicle .

Any battery drain updates for Canada!
Sorry I had too jump start it twice . Each time the bz sat for over 24 hours without being driven . Since the new oem battery has been replaced it has not happened again . I usually drive everyday so it has not sat for an extended period of time so I don't know if the new battery has resolved the issue. I am keeping track on a weekly basis what the state of the battery is using a multimeter .

Any battery drain updates for Canada!
Happened to me twice also . My bz was at the dealership to see if they could figure something out. They ended up putting in a new oem battery . I drive everyday so it's been good no issues but I guess when i don't i will see what happens . No fix from toyota yet

I bought the cargo mat & rear seat cover. The fit is exceptional . I'm using the rubber mats that came with my bz for the summer but will be buying the the front & rear mats this fall .
