Need to pay extra for a charging cable? (2026 SV+)

I just went to my local Nissan dealer (in Canada) to put a deposit on a 2026 SV+. They tried to charge me $1,199 for a charging cable, saying that the car wouldn’t come with one, and that only the first 100 or so deliveries in Canada had it included.

Is there any truth to that?

They removed it from the bill of sale without a fight as soon as I asked them to. My thinking was that I can probably find a third-party cable myself for less money, or I could always buy it separately later if I decide I really want a Nissan one.

I guess it just seems wild to me that an EV would not come with a charging cable by default.

Free Combinator synth - inspired by the Swarmatron

I saw a video about the Swarmatron, thought it was a really cool concept for a synth and wanted to have something like it in Reason. So I made my own!

The basic idea is having multiple oscillators which are slightly detuned from one another and which can be made gradually more detuned, resulting in a swarming bees/wasps type of sound.

Here’s a YouTube video demo: https://youtu.be/mHjhfRmik90?si=s96nONeyqJtLa1Go

It's available for free on Gumroad, link is in the YouTube video description (I can’t post it directly here since Reddit blocks it)

It was created in Reason 12 using only stock devices.

Appreciation post: Hyundai 2025 N VGT (Gr. 1)

I just wanted to show some love for this car because it has become my favourite and it seems to be a bit under-appreciated!

It drives like a dream with the stock tune. Grip for days, even on hard tires. It does handle better with mediums or softs of course but not by much. Also very fuel efficient.

And it has so many uses! Add on a turbo and it can win all the Gr. 1 events (with fuel management) and absolutely demolishes VGT events. It does very well against Gr. 3 when detuned.

It is incredibly fun around Sardegna, and can just about do the whole race without refueling, perfect to grind those credits!

And personally I love the way it looks and the fact that it’s a hydrogen-powered EV, I just think that’s cool.

That is all!

I’m looking at getting either a home equity loan or home equity credit line from my credit union. The advisor I spoke to said I would need to pay a $400 fee to convert my “high-risk mortgage” to a “regular mortgage”. I’m taking that to mean changing it from insured to uninsured. Is that a thing?

Our home down payment was under 20 percent of purchase price, so our mortgage is insured.
Currently we have 150k of home equity.
Remaining amount owing on our mortgage is 198k.
We only recently started our second 5-year term (4.5 years left on current term).
We are looking to borrow $10k.

I’m not really clear on why I couldn’t borrow this money while keeping the mortgage insured.
