I didn't sign up for the app because I don't want it tracking me but maybe I will turn it on for this visit. I will limit it to 1/8 mile and 5 mph lol

LOL!!

I opted out of the Drive Pulse madness, I know how I drive and what my tires smell like when I get home. 😈

I don’t need an app to tell me. I’m sure there’s metadata somewhere, just like in our phones, but they don’t have official permission to use the captured data.

It won't limit the vehicle, but will let you know if those thresholds are exceeded (speed/radius). I tested this out

Hah they told me that they only sell to residents. Not that it matter nor do I care, but the salesman sure did make a point to tell me that.

In technicalities, the IS500 is just a trim of the IS, not a full independent model like the RC-F is and the GS-F was. And the IS sold 21,998 cars in 2021 alone and 4,462 cars to date in 2022.

Do we have any numbers for the IS 500 (Launch & Premium) produced to date/in the wild? Just curious!

Unfortunately Lexus doesn't publish their sales figures down to the trim level. Internally I'm sure they have to know, but it's not public

Oh it was apparently a huge controversy amongst the regular employees. My salesman got the approval from one of the owners Thursday morning and my a$$ flew in the next day. I was there too fast for them to stop that train. Hell…I had dang near 7 months to get my GoBag in order, but they didn’t know that. 😎

LOL I suck at being subtle, I might laminate a sign and hang it from the rear view mirror!
