Okay, I'll be that guy. I'm coming out of a Japanese car with an iDrive-style rotary controller. I have a '22, so I can use both the touchpad and the screen. I try to use the touchpad while sitting still and staring at it, just to get used to it. Call me whatever you want, but in weeks of trying, thus far I'm not close to having rudimentary control of it. I miss, I overshoot, I fail to move the cursor. It would be (and was) an absolute, 100% deal breaker for me. Without the touchscreen, I would not have bought this car. And after dealing with it as an owner, if they still had only the touchpad, on that basis alone I would not have bought this car. Just me, and I'm happy for those of you who've learned to deal with it since you had to, but off my limited experience thus far I wish they'd used the space for a change holder.

Minor changes on 2022 ES300hUL Matador Red-Palomino
Manufacturer Date 1/15/2022 Kentucky Pick-up Date 1/30/2022
Lexus Escondido has best selection around here.
I added cheap 3" clip on d-rings to bottom of Trunk net. This allows for large bags between net and back wall and small bags in net.
Then I cut USB cover off ( I know I know) Now with short USB for music always inserted I can close cover.
Having a Panoramic camera I Had Dealer set back Window Screen to off. Will never auto lower in Reverse.
Lowered Tire Pressure to 30lb cold for best ride. I wanted 17" rims but dealer said not available on UL. He did give me $1500.00 off MSRP and $500.00 extra for trade-in so I'm good.
I will add 235/50/18 for higher sidewalls to improve ride when these are gone.
I plan for other small mods. Will update

You can never have too many change holders.

Next, Lexus will add razor blades so you can't rip it off.
A motorist in Temecula found razor blades affixed to a car door handle last week:

Do you guys feel any vibrations from the engine when the engine is cold?

ADD Wireless CarPlay or move USB to center console.
ADD Heated Rear Seats to Ultra Luxery Trim
Now that they added a touch screen remove touch pad and give us two cup holders ala RX

i know I am in the minority here but I personally love the remote interface touch pad. My last car had a giant 10.2” touch screen and it showed every fingerprint and drove me crazy. My 2021 ES was a welcome change for me. I love the placement of the screen (prior to its being moved for 2022) up in the dash as well. I guess it’s just me!
