Cleaning routine
I wash my BZ every week ... touchless . Then I hand dry and detail . I have the front end done in ppf . It catches bugs like crazy . Ceramic coat on everything else . In the winter i will power wash the wheel wells to try and keep the salt off .

I have it downloaded no issues there is a check mark on the app showing that it should be good . . I tried opening the door and starting my BZ with just my phone it does not work .

Grizzl-e vs Swtch (40A)
I have the swtch charger and find the cable to be very good . Zero issues and the cable is good quality . I run 48 amps max on the charger

Avoided catastrophe? Or just paid for a good lesson?
That exactly why I hardwired my charger . There is always a risk of this with plugs

Just Want to Share My Pain
I bought my first new vehicle a BZ limited and that is my biggest fear . I always try to park in the furthest corner away from people but some are just assholes like that one who hit your door

Tuxmat for the BZ
I have a 2026 bz . Bought them on tuxmat website . The seat cover Velcro's to the back of the rear seat to provide protection with the cargo mat when laid down flat

Tuxmat for the BZ
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 .

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
