2020 RX350 dead battery
Hi,
i purchased my RX350 in February. Due to pandemic and working from home, I do not drive it that much (I also own a second daily driver). My car has currently over 1,000 miles. I try to drive it once a week though. I drove it a week ago for about ten minutes. I wanted to go shopping yesterday; however, the car did not start. Fortunately I got good service from Lexus roadside assistance; they started the car but were surprised the battery was dead. I live in Calabasas, and we recently had a few “cold” nights (about 30-33F). I keep my car outside in covered area. I have never experienced issues like this, but I was reading about 2020 ES having similar problems. I will check with my Lexus dealer, but I also wanted to ask here whether this is normal. Thank you for your help.

In order to have the alternator charge the battery you'd have to take it for a 30 min run above 30mph at least once a week or else put a smart charger (tender) on it.

Many 2020 ES models have had bad batteries right out of the box. Remember NEW means Never Ever Worked. Perhaps the same is now true with the RX?
