For anyone interested, Newport Lexus in Newport Beach, CA appears to have two is500's in stock:
One is Atomic with Black interior and the other is Red with Black interior.

Posting some pictures of both. I've had a difficult time finding pictures of atomic is500's...and the red one caught my eye with its black wheels, black badges, and red painted calipers. The dealer wants $5,995 for these "dealer added accessories". I am really liking these wheels painted black, though.

^^ Dang!! These Enkei painted black look sharp! It is the 2nd car I've seen this way and both have looked great!

When I called, I was quoted 10k over MSRP on the atomic.

More details.

The infrared one has a 6k blackout package installed + 10k ADM.

.Holy crap, prices are going to get crazy.

My dealership just messaged me to let me know that Lexus kicked all base model orders and offered my a refund on my deposit. Looks like I'm joining the 2023lue gang as well :/

Sorry to hear, but at least you know you're not alone in this. It's tough times right now. We'll just live vicariously through everyone else on here.

DAAAAYUM!! I think a scrapped order is the worst thing. Hang in there.

I literally laughed out loud at this. You are crazy and I’m here for it! 😜

I was told remaining allocations have been cut 80% for remainder of 2022 model year. It's going to be tough for anyone wanting a new premium. Prices will be high.

As in they are only making 80% of their projections, or cutting 80% and only producing 20% of their projections?

I got my wheels done for $800. Mount and balance included. Black PPF wrap on the mirrors to get rid of the one random chrome piece on the car too. That was a head scratcher to me from a design perspective. Looks out of place when the rest of the trim is black from the factory.
