A Better EV for Families, Tech Lovers, and Eco-Conscious Drivers

Why Toyota Wins on Everyday Usability
Technology Advantages

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto included on all trims

  • HomeLink built in (Tesla charges extra)

  • Dual wireless chargers + multiple USB-C ports

  • Dedicated driver display for safer, at-a-glance visibility

  • Physical controls for essential features

Tesla forces drivers into an all-touchscreen ecosystem with fewer conveniences.

Toyota bZ Charging Benefits
Charging & Range Convenience

  • ~7.5-hour full Level 2 charge (faster than Tesla)

  • Upgraded 11 kW onboard charger

  • 120V/240V portable charger included

  • NACS plug = full Tesla Supercharger access

  • Front-right charge port for easier parking garage access

  • Plug-and-Charge enabled for simpler public charging

Tesla Charging Notes

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0: Standard on Every bZ
Safety & Driver Assistance

  • Pre-Collision System with pedestrian detection
  • Brake Assist for emergency stops
  • Emergency Steering Assist (Tesla lacks equivalent)
  • Lane Tracing Assist + Road Sign Assist
  • Blind Spot Monitor + Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (standard)
  • Available 360° Panoramic View Monitor

Why Toyota Feels Better Inside
Interior Space & Comfort

  • More front legroom and shoulder room

  • Smoother, quieter ride with enhanced cabin insulation

  • Available ventilated seats + radiant foot heater

Better equipped. Easier to live with. More affordable.
Backed by Toyota's legendary quality and Maple Toyota's trusted service.
