With Battery degradation and climate further impacting the range, this isn’t an appeal alternative to anything in this price range.

@@Justmejbful Still, all though I could afford the GV60 I chose to buy an EV6... Again brand name is meaning less now a days and Toyota/Lexus needs to realize this. It's relative. I'm sure some people get a rise of having the luxury brand name, but to me it doesn't matter if the less expensive vehicle has all the same features, I could live without the GV60's crystal shifter and slight bump in power (especially since it takes a fairly substantial range hit). On the topic of charge speed and how long the battery will last... Toyota/Lexus can make all the claims they want on longevity, but what really matters is the warranty. One single battery cell can go bad in the back and the whole thing needs replacing. Toyota doesn't build their own battery, they get it from Panasonic (I believe), so you have to have faith in that companys manufacturing being good enough to last the life of the car, if not you hope the manufacturer warranty covers it. To any extent, Lexus/Toyota are selling these under competitive vehicles as beta products to consumers to see what works, breaks and fails. All brands do this, but Toyota happened to be so far behind the pack, even though they excel at hybrids that it just doesn't make sense that they would release such a poor shot into the market.

My only major complaint is Lexus did not price it competitively and I agree the 2-tone looks too busy IMO. I hope Lexus brings the RZ300e to The States because I am not sold with the $60K+ on top of the lower range it gets with the change of wheels.

IMO, real world should mean something different for electric. If you only drive city, it doesn't matter as much the total range as you could theoretically charge at home every night. Real world to me for electric is when you need to drive 75-85mph (texas- Austin to Dallas 220 miles). This speed kills the range in the Lightning (different type of car, I know), and at 196 for RZ, you may even have to stop twice just to make it. Cruise control at 80mph and this may not even do 100 miles before you get range anxiety and need to charge.

It's integrated without it taking over the dash. I love the radiant heat. The steer by wire looks well done. The interior materials are sustainable in an EV. The acceleration is excellent, well more than adequate. I love the styling. I just think it's an excellent car. I'm not that big on range as a selling point of an EV. I look at whatever I look at with any other car(quality, refinement, drive, comfort, NVH levels, brake and steering feel, build quality and solidity) and hope it has usable range. It needs to be charged from a home. If you can't charge it from home, it's not the car for you. This is a much better car than the bZ4X which doesn't have as successful styling.

Wait longer for Lexus to improve their EV’s range and charging times while Tesla will still be lacking in refinement and build quality so the only thing Tesla has going for in the future is charging ability compared to all other EVs

Weird design, weird color combo. What's with the gloss at the wheel arches? 😃 But anyway, for city driving it would be great, you charge it every night with a level 2 and you're set, you have a full"tank" every day.

Thanks for the testdrive with the yoke. Exactly what I expected, the sterring by wire will easily overturn and could be hard to control how much you've turned. Maybe practice makes perfect. Maybe not.

You've gotta be kidding me an official claim of 196 miles of range so usually 60% in an actual real-life range that is around 120 miles...What a piece of trash but still pricy🤣 Whoever buy this thing better be ready to live next to a charger lmao. Yea yea Toyota no matter how you decorate it, I still know it's an RX. And it wasn't designed to become an EV. That's why you can't fit in bigger batteries

Sure looks like a cheap Lexus compared to the older units. Front end is ugly, steering wheel is silly in a luxury SUV, not much room in the front seat area for drinks, gadgets, etc. The wheel wells are ungainly large, even with the 20" wheels and the cars range is poor. Can't imagine this vehicle as a smart choice in today's market. Seems like Lexus is leaning on their reputation. This car looks more Toyota-like in quality.

Don't have to test Tesla yoke... its stupid, their car has horrible turning circle already and that yoke is so big that doesn't make sense, just chop the top half off not giving any additional second to design it, good for free way auto pilot but useless for city, if you don't turn more than 90 degree daily then you will be fine

I don’t know if Toyota is smarter than everyone or is just hard-headed, stubborn, and nearsighted. This crappy range and charging rates are not because they don’t know how to make a better EV. It’s because they are trying to force their customers away from EVs and back to their hybrids. In 10 years we’ll see who’s making the bad moves
