Better sleep makes a better you! Check out Eight Sleep at www.eightsleep.com/lmg and use code LMG for $150 off the Pod Cover.
The Lexus RZ450e sure is pretty, but does it have the power and range people expect from their EVs? Alex is here to check out the ultimate mom vehicle to see if you get enough of the benefits of an EV or if this SUV is more just for looks.

Terrible is an understatement. Low range. Slow charging. No regenerative braking, which also means changing brake pads more since that car will be HEAVY. Poor drive feel. To top everything off the only way they recommend it is if you get the one priced at about 63k? I’m not sure how this review didn’t just end with “bad value, don’t buy.”

@@WhatisaLee Lexus’ customer base was initially drawn entirely from people fed up with arrogant service people at Audi, BMW, and Mercedes dealerships telling them the car was perfect and the fault was with them. The LS400 and SC400 are widely recognized as the best, or most, over engineered cars ever built. Lexus started off very strong. Unquestionably they did make some mistakes leading to lower quality with some models. But nothing as drastic as the rolling piles of electronic woe from the Fatherland. The big three Teutonic builders are an okay choice while under warranty. But their unreliability coupled with horrendous repair costs is the primary reason they depreciate so rapidly. “Mechanically totalled” is a common term for beautiful but broken cars from Germany and very rarely applied to a Lexus.

@@mrsittingmongoose I haven't driven one before, but my understanding is that this is very different from what Infinity is doing. This is steer-by-wire, but there are motors on both ends, so not only does the steering wheel (nearly) instantly turn the tires, but it also has motors on the steering wheel which provides force feedback allowing you to feel everything that you otherwise would through a real steering column. Again, I'd highly recommend checking out the Engineering Explained video on it.

Please put more research into the charging part of your car reviews. In almost every one of them you get the charging details wrong. For example the Ioniq 5 has a maximum charging speed of about 230 kw and the Lexus is definitely faster from 0-80 than 50 minutes. You are doing great in all other parts so it would be nice seeing an improvement there.

Most car “review” channels are too muted when it comes to large & influential OEM because if you’re too honest, OEM will stop inviting to the next press release and unlike tech like cellphone, purchasing one just for the review is out of question for most reviewers. This was kind of fine in ICE era because cars are established to the point that there’s no huge miss… but in EV, it’s a huge problem because most OEMs are still new at it.

As a dog owner I really appreciate the frunk in the IONIQ 5, as well as it having an unusually large amount of interior space. With having a dog bed in the boot of the car it makes getting to items under the boot floor awkward, and so the frunk is way more practical!

1:40 Would you care to mention which vehicle in this class has 300kw charging? I'm not aware of any, I believe the only vehicle that is capable of doing that sort of speed is the lucid air.

For the glovebox I love than anyone can see what you have in the center console … great for low skill thief. For the back sound of you see how many people forgot they are in reverse I understand … plus in Japan it’s an obligation.

One of these days I'm going to need to get comfortable with a $1,000 a month car payment if I want a top of the line car like this. I paid $300 a month for my 2020 Corolla for 3 years and then $15,000 to own it out right at the end. I used to say $1,000 a month is a mortgage payment. But that's not true anymore. So at least it's no longer the same price as a whole house.

I own an older Lexus and I love mine because it’s old it’s got a V8 it has a cushy suspension even though weighs nearly 5000 pounds. Best sound system in a car I’ve owned and it’s just really comfortable. It’s surprising to see how many features my car has that the newer cars don’t. I have heated and cooled, front seats, heated rear seats, air suspension, fully auto climate control, and a couple other things. Everything just works because it’s not over complicated the newer cars have less features the overcomplicated they’re trying to involve all this new infotainment systems and they’re just fucking it all up

I love how the infotainment has a giant warning about not using it while moving and distracted driving and all that, and then they go and put unlabeled settings that constantly change and crap on the thing. It is frankly astounding to me how terrible most car infotainment is. Also yeah, I took one look at Toyota's dash on like a 22 or something and went "lol that looks the same as my '97 but it's an LCD that I can't replace the bulbs in, that's horrible"
