Anyone Planning on Getting a RZ 450e EV?
#31
Another observation from my test drive which I forgot to include above.
Even with the Recirculation mode turned off, when the fan/hvac is off, I could not feel any fresh air coming naturally through the air vents. This was one of the most annoying things when I had my BMW before, and I'm sad that Lexus/Toyota has decided to block off the outside air when the fan is off. All my other cars allow fresh air to come in without the hvac on, which, in our climate here at least, works really well and helps to save some energy. Not sure if I missed some setting; but I think I read somewhere else that this was by design for the bZ4x/Solterra twins as well.

I drove a demo today.
And, I am impressed. I own a 23 RX 350h, and I love it. But, I could see myself selling mine and buying an RZ. Maybe. It is not as luxurious, but it's pretty damn close. I took it out on the interstate and it sure has power when you need it.

^ Where do you think it is lacking in luxury vs the 350h? Are you comparing like for like, ie NX Luxury with RZ Luxury?
BTW where do they put the manual since there is no glovebox?

i have a feeling the manual is digital only

^ More than a dark tint it seems like you want a tint that rejects IR/UV better than the Lexus glass. There are some films that do that without needing to be dark.

As long as it reflects the heat from the car is really most important. I am sure it's going to become as big of an issue as range and only one key fob! LOL

There's supposed to be some tacky-looking fabric shield that attach to the inside of the moonroof to block out the heat/sun if needed. But it's unclear if it comes standard with the car, or if you have to order it as a separate accessory. I don't see it in the order page on the Canadian Lexus site either. A definite miss in terms of design; especially considering its cheaper e-TNGA cousins do come with a powered sliding cover for the roof.
