Looking at Tesla Model Y or doing a short term 2-year Polestar 2 lease on the promo in Canada ($350 / month) and then getting the Model Y Juniper refresh or Rivian R2 after the lease is done.

Honestly, I probably should have just got a Model Y in the first place; when I placed the order, Lexus assured me I would only need to wait 2-3 months for my car and it ended up being like 10 months so I basically got a 2022 when the 2023 models were about to come out. Had I known I would have needed to wait almost a year, I would never have bought it but they just strung me along and the Model Y pricing kept going up and up at that point (now its gone back way down).

For all the quality talk about Lexus, I don’t think I’ve had any car in the shop as much as my NX.

I wouldn't mind giving Polestar a try. I'm still not on the Tesla bandwagon - I can't take that the panels aren't aligned.

Is that still a concern? It seems to be mostly sorted out at this point. I don't see much complaints about this anymore. Most of the complaints I see are around harsh ride (should improve with the refresh), insurance cost, and tire life.

Range Anxiety, Lack of Charging infrastructure in most areas, expectably where I live, Recharge Time, No good Service Centers, Extra cost on license Tags, No More Straight Point-to=Point Long Road Trips. Poor resale Value, Build quality of Tesla Y, still miss pushing clutch in and engine sound, but mostly gone hybrid route ..kept one old school ,fast, performance, shifting car, with real cracks and burbles and engine noise, albeit some artificial.

I can almost go PHEV, but I'm not even there yet

YMMV,

P.S. - At least the NX350h is usually my second favorite car

I've seen enough Tesla still not aligned.

Canada get the rejects that don't pass the alignment checks, SORRY

I've heard that since the US has raised tariffs on Chinese EVs, Tesla is now dumping all the ones built in Shanghai into Vancouver. Elon is going to smuggle them into the US disguised as cans of tuna later this year

Albacore ?

Have you considered the 2025 Toyota Crown Signia? It stands out as a compelling option with its impressive specifications and excellent fuel efficiency. The front grille and overall design are indeed subjective, but the vehicle's advanced features and economical fuel consumption make it a strong contender in its class. If you opt for the limited trim, you'll find yourself venturing into Lexus territory. The crown signia first impressions are already out on YouTube.

Labeling is unclear.
