Ended up reserving a fully loaded NX450H+ that is projected to arrive by Jan 5th to Jan 8th. MSRP + 1k ADM.

 

I'd take that deal in a New York second. I hope it actually comes in for you. I can't even put in an order here in Denver for a few more weeks.

 

I hope you get yours in January. I guess Canada is low volume is not prioritized and we can't sell over MSRP.

 

For the US
How will you know if your NX was built in Japan or Canada? I’m assuming the first ones coming in now are from Japan but how would US buyers know when it switches to Canada builds?

 

The VIN will start with a J for Japan and a 2 for Canada.

 

Got lucky as apparently they had four of them come in and they were not doing a waiting list and as I was talking to the person, someone cancelled their reservation as it would not arrive by the end of the year, so I took it that second. The market ADM was 1k. I hate paying for the ADM but at this market I guess I got to suck it up. Also it was cloudburst gray but I guess beggars cant be choosers lol

 

Similar ETA as mine. I currently have a fully loaded 450h+ (Luxury not F sports), VIN assigned to me.

I placed my deposit in June to get in line. Since then the line seems to have grown quite a bit.
Looks like you are in a better situation if you just reserved recently and are picking up in 2-3 weeks.

 

Got my 350h Luxury yesterday. Really love it!

 

blaczc, Congrats...Enjoy...keep us up to date on your thoughts.

 

I called another Lexus dealership and they had 2/4 allocated but their ADM was 10k....

 

Not surprised at the ADM. The surprising part is somebody would pay it.
I just ordered a 450h+ at MSRP, maybe April delivery? The price minus PHEV tax rebate was less than the 350h lux. We laughed at the option list, as I didn't need the tow package.
Anybody know what my electrician needs to install for PHEV?

 

Envy you guys. I put my deposit with my dealer in April even before it was announced. Selected the color options in Aug and still no vehicle until March for the 450h+. Seems like they have prioritize it all to the US.

 

I got a call from my dealer (bay area, CA) yesterday confirming one 450h+ Luxury package is expected to arrive at Long Beach port on 12/28. They have assigned the vin to me. I made 1k deposit on Oct 1. They are not charging any mark-ups. I wanted F-Sports, but there are probably no significant differences between luxury and F-Sports (could be wrong here). Variable suspension is a nice feature which is not there in non F-Sports trim.
Here is the PRICE:Vehicle base model $55,650.00Total installed Packages & Accessories $4,605.00Delivery processing / handling $1,075.00Total MSRP* $61,330.00

 

You just need a level 2 charger installed in your garage.
There are multiple brands, even chargepoint has one to install at your home. I have one from Bosch setup like 7 years ago still working fine, but doesn't have any fancy features like internet connection.
Another option is to just get a 240V outlet (like the ones for your dryer, with enough amperage). Then you can just use charging cables and not something that is mounted on the wall.

If you want to be future proof, there might be some new ones that support bidirectional charging (like V2H, vehicle to home to use your car battery in case of power outage), but those are still in very very early stage and probably not worth installing right now.
I personally haven't done the research myself. Also Tesla has it's on proprietary version, so if you want a Tesla and non-Tesla EV you will need an adaptor one way or another, other brands should have the same connector type (looks like they are called "Type 1 (SAE J1772)", but I loosely call them CCS as opposed to CHAdeMO which is pretty much dead in US since only Leaf supported it.)

Lastly since NX450h+ is same as Rav4 Prime under the hood, you can find more info in other forums like this one: https://www.rav4world.com/threads/ra...ptions.313212/

 

Congrats on your vehicle.

I take it this is stock luxury? Does it have the 14" screen, HUD, ventilated seats? Anything that you had to forgo to get this vehicle immediately or was it custom built?
