I'm working on a safe lifting guide (will upload here!) for the Subaru and Toyota e-TNGA vehicles. The battery packs in the US and Canada versions are not the same, and I believe this impacts the "safe" lifting area under the car. If you own or have access to a 2026 or later US based Subaru or Toyota EV, I'm looking for you to post a pic like mine with a tape measure in the frame. This is the rear hoist point as highlighted in that second pic I uploaded to this post. Note the black arrow embossed into the plastic cladding..about a foot forward from the rear tire. You can just put your phone into selfie mode on the ground to take the pic :-). I think the US and CAD battery pack differ in size and therefore also the “safe” footprint for lifting the vehicle. Your help with a quick pic and post is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: so yes, the US spec e-TNGA cars look to be using a narrower battery. This means the US spec cars have a wider extrusion left/rigth on the HV battery. This also means it should also be easier to use 4 1/2" to 5" pads on a hoist to damaging cladding and the battery shielding. The CAD spec cars have about 2 1/4" of clear space, and the US models, around 5". Thanks to u/meebs555 for posting the pic from his 26 Solterra. It's here in the thread.

Window deflectors, splashguards, Illuminated door sill, and auxiliary rear gate light.

Next up: some borderline illegal tint lol. I dont know about PPF ... is there a DIY kit our there ? ive been driving carefully and staying several cars back from anybody lol

Hello All, I noticed that for the Toyota cars and also the electric ones. It shows the tire pressure in the app, but for whatever reason it doesn't show it in my app. I attached an image of my Subaru connect app and another person's Toyota chr, I also found out I can just add the car on the Toyota app so I might do that.

Hi everyone 👋

A new update for BZ Battery is out - and the biggest news is that the app now supports **CarPlay** 🚗

It required a special approval from Apple, but it's finally in place. That means you can see battery, power consumption, temperature and cell voltages right on the car's screen while you drive.

As always, I'm happy to take criticism/praise and feature requests through the mail in the app.

Best regards, Andreas.
