You should not let the rear motor toggle on/off all the time, because the ERAD will blow. It's shit. Just keep polestar on default and it will charge it enough so you have constant power in the back.

My first car was a '65 model. It had the rear-mounted, air-cooled flat six and four-wheel independent suspension, but it wasn't a Porsche alas. Love the sound of that '07! Raz was obviously taking it very easy because he only beat the 2020 Chevy Bolt (what I drive now, BTW) by 3:62 seconds. (Hint on my first car? The Bolt is only my second Chevy.)

Honestly not bad for a truck with live axles and off-road tires! Props to the owner for letting them do this. I was impressed that the temperatures stayed within spec for the whole lap besides the transmission. One of my favorite channels I hope they make new videos.

Please do one lap in the new Lucid Air Pure!

Ha, I have a 2020 too and honestly the thing is just way more fun to drive than you'd think. Smooth, turns on a dime and coasts the smoothest of anything I ever drove

i was wondering why it beep i thought my car broke lol i was pushing that baby around corners 😂 04 es330

Fucken what?! That woodgrain is classy 👌

Best channel ever. Thank you

Where did the spoiler come from? I’d like to get one

sub a dub dubbed

i have mine since 2020 till date… maintenance is 100% my friends are jealous of my car cause it’s reliable and durable…. others who owns es350 got crashed😢😂

It's odd the 0-60 was best in the 2017 after 2017 the car lost about a half sec to 60, same hp too 🤔 possibly to sell the next models

My Kia Sorrento got line 2024 is faster mine has the kh sign and has comfort eco sport smart snow mud sand my full speed is 7000,105 horsepower hahahahahaha wanna race me i will loser😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How can you talk shit about the wood? That is my favorite part of this car.

Great video. I don't know why you don't have more subs.... !

If only it weren't so expensive! *crying

Brakes getting soft after 1 lap. Any recommendation on brake pads to make it capable of 5-6 successive laps on a 3-mile 14 corner track when driven in anger?

Take it back. Charge it to 90% from a 14-50 in the camping area. Put it in sport mode and turn off DSC.

its a really nice v6 engine in the es330

Tested with 50% SOC and not in Sport Mode, traction control in Sport mode is complitely different than Standard mode.

I have always thought that the bolt I own now could be a sleeper autocrosser. My problem has included really bad engine speed control to get the best power out of sharp turns ( 1985 mr2 na ). Bolt has so much torque that it’s not an issue at all.

Coming out of a VW GTI and a miata, I’d have to say that the Bolt is a blast to drive. Its not that it is as well handling as those two cars but the lots of power and skinny tires makes it fun to drive on the edge without breaking any laws. The steering feel is really good as well as the “sensation” of velocity which is not numb like in a Tesla or Mercedes. If you’re going 120kph… you feel like you’re going 120kph! The one pedal driving is aggressive and it feels very much like engine braking in 3rd gear. Sport mode I can attest actually makes a difference in throttle response and power delivery.

Why do you brake boost an EV? THERES NOTHING TO SPOOL UP, ITS INSTANT TORQUE

to turn off stability control in my jeep I have to remove the ABS fuse. that might be why it still triggers. but also I know nothing about this car lol

Was it VSC this year or VDI/M?

Any for sale

Great video however it would be interesting to know how much percentage it had left as you mentioned it started with 71%

It is a grand tourer and not a high performance sports car. That is why it is very soft and floaty. It is meant for long distance cruising in comfort and not for a stiff ride. The transmission also overheats a lot in our laps on the track.

I am honestly surprised you were able to hustle this thing as much as you did. This era of Lexus is known for having non-defeatable and very intrusive electronic nannies. Makes sense when the target demographic for this car is 79 year old Gertrude who just drives to church and back once a week. That poor PCM probably thought Gertrude had a stroke on the way to Sunday service.

"It's definately going to be slower than model X" Yet Top Gear clocked significantly better lap time for e-tron on their track than model X. Guess it depends who's driving too.

This is the biggest reason i want the boost50 this black friday, for disabling tsc/stm. Coming from cars i can disable this feature, it sure was a buzz kill to find out how intrusive they have it set up in stock form, its very neutered and seems to kick in at the slightest little hiccup.

Kyle Connor showing up was a welcome surprise!

Who's poor nice old ES got beat up in the making of this video.

2023 now so try ones now while they still build them with the Dynamic Traction setting. It got better.

I have a 2002 ES300 with 178k miles. 2nd owner bought 2 years ago w 160k miles. I get the idea and fun of this video but I can’t imagine pushing my car like this. Yes it’s solid and build quality is unparalleled. I have a 1999 C5 FRC for this spirited driving!

😂the beeping doesn't help

I thought this was gonna be cringe but curiosity rewarded me with an enjoyable watch. Thx for sharing

This is basically a more practical and efficient Miata. Not fast but good handling.

Can you go over what settings you use in the vehicle? Steering mode etc? Would love a video on the speed sensor mods etc

That is insanely terrifying

These cars are pigs and destroy front tires. Bet the outer tread of the front left tire was TOAST after that lap.

awd or rwd?

OMG I hope these raven Model Xs are still around when I'm an adult and can afford one. I'm 17 and a model X ludicrous is my dream car!

Gives me nostalgia of the time I took my 02 Avalon to Road America 😂

So glad for this vid I just got the same exact spec kona and so far it’s been amazing I’ve been leaving people at the lights 😂😂

oo great video thanks

Taking this car and putting it on the race track, is like taking a responsible dad who plays flag football on the weekend and putting him in the NFL

I haven't laughed so hard in my life! Now I see why people buy crossovers!

You should have done a test on which motor or transmission would blow up faster

But wait Electric is too heavy they say
