The 2023 Lexus RZ Is Lexus's First Fully Electric Model

[@thetypicalhomeowner6006]

Sub 200 mile range in a 2023 electric midsize SUV is flat out unacceptable. They should’ve waited to debut this until they could find a way to get at least 250 miles out of it.

[@rebellucy6200]

Even worse is the actual range is typically about 80% of what manufacturers claim.

My wife owns a UX250h and it's tiny. Perfect as her commuter and for us not having kids, but Lexus barely sells any in the US. Something like 17,000 units. It's far too small for the average American family. It's a brilliant car, tho. I absolutely love it.

doug talked a lot about the trio of price/range/power but i feel like honestly it's probably just the range holding this car back. if the interior is nice enough and "premium" feeling enough you can justify the 60k price tag, and 0-60 in the mid 5 second range is more than fast enough for 99% of people who would want to buy a lexus crossover. if they could just boost the range by 100 miles or so i think this car would go from kind of a joke to totally viable.

[@naveenthemachine]

No it’s the performance too My Toyota does 0-60 in the mid 5s has 300hp and a lot more range and it’s not a hybrid

[@BeefIngot]

Did you see the awful packaging or straight out of 2013 gauge cluster? This thing has literally nothing this has over any competitors.

[@Lantec1000]

Yeah, I think for majority of the buyers for these crossovers, 5 seconds is completely fine. Considering the NX and RX are Lexus's best selling models, and those are both slower to 60 than this EV. The big let down is the range. I might be biased but here, there are still plenty of people buying the bz4X simply because in Vancouver, driving distances are quite short and people like the Toyota/Lexus brand simply for their reputation (whether still true or not) of being reliable and easy to operate. Consistency is more important to these shoppers than driving excitement.

[@naveenthemachine]

@@Lantec1000 evs offer the same consistency and more range and better performance and better design tech materials etc

[@Lantec1000]

@@naveenthemachine yeah, don't get me wrong, this product is very meh compared to the competition. Doug touched on it too, I think there's a subset of Toyota/Lexus shoppers that just don't cross shop. They literally get their camry, drive it until they want a new one, and they go back and get another camry, probably without even test driving it. It's like no-brainer default for them. But as Doug said, EVs are just starting to get mass market appeal, and to many, EVs are still "early adopter" cars so those buyers tend to look at other cars to cross-shop which is where Toyota is running into issues. They can't just phone it in now because EV drivers are looking more into the details and competition. There's just so few models compared to ICE cars.

[@damilolaakanni]

This ia about the size of the RX350, which means it's not small. Also, while it's the first Lexus EV in North America, there's the UX300e that has been on sale in Europe for a few years.

[@fenrirslip]

You can tell that Toyota and Lexus are not 100% in on the EV bandwagon, and I have significant respect for their approach to electrification. I firmly believe that EVs won't become the norm by the deadlines they're claiming to meet, especially in the US. The infrastructure just isn't quite there yet as it always tends to fail for a lot of people. Unless you have a house, owning an EV is pretty difficult. Simply finding a fast charger or a regular charger can be a challenge in of itself and that's even if they work properly. The waiting times are also not ideal, but that's not surprising. Also, let's not forget that the prices right now for most EVs are ridiculous regardless of inflation. Not to mention, a lot of people aren't buying EVs and are left sitting in lots from what I've seen and heard on Kirk Kreifel's channel. It all has to do with the prices. Because of this, you're now seeing that hybrid and PHEV sales are increasing. Lo and behold, these hybrid and PHEV sales mostly consist of Toyotas and Lexuses. In my mind, hybrids and PHEVs are the best of both worlds. As of right now, they're the most logical purchase over EVs in my opinion, and Toyota/Lexus are thriving in this segment from what I'm seeing. I believe that EVs do serve a purpose in the world, but not in the way people think they would. EVs should really be commuter cars and commuter cars only for the foreseeable future. This isn't me trying to bash EVs, I'm simply stating what I currently believe to be the possible future of EVs in the next couple of years.

[@jblyon2]

On top of that, the former head of Toyota was actively blocking EV development. These models are rush jobs to get something out the door once his influence stopped preventing a pure EV. I'm a Toyota man, and am not likely to buy anything else as a daily driver, but I'd be really leery of buying one these. They're clearly rushed and chances are not everything else will be properly thought through either. I think EVs will become the norm quicker than a lot of us expect, but not as quick as current trends seem to suggest. I'm in one of those situations where I don't have a place to charge at home (apartment) or at work (small commercial park). It's a significant amount of time and distance for me to get to a charger that's not a trickle charger, and even then there's a good chance the fast charger might not work when I get there. There will also be situations for a very long time in remote areas where the infrastructure for charging doesn't exist at all, and would cost a fortune to get installed. That is a set of people who will need traditional vehicles for a significantly longer time than most.

[@hojnikb]

EVs are the future of personal transport, whenever you like it or not. Infrastructure will follow (as it always did with rising demand of electricity) and so will chargers. Tesla has there beat everyone. Now about their slow and "sure" approach to EVs; this is going to cost them big time in the future. Toyota, being as big as they are, just isn't taking EVs seriously enough and investing enough money to catch up to competitiors. They are sleeping behind the wheel and that will bite them in the ass. Because to have a good mass market EV, it isn't just about styling and materials, it's also about motor, inverter and most importantly; battery tech. If they don't get these 3 right, they might as well kiss their EV marketshare goodbye. And world will be buying ICE based Toyota for only so long.

[@fenrirslip]

@@jblyon2 100% agree.

[@fenrirslip]

@@hojnikb I totally understand. I was mainly referring to the current state of how EVs are doing and how they could potentially turn out within the next 2 to 5 years. I personally believe that these deadlines that have been proposed are possibly not going to be met. I'm not saying that improvements aren't in the works. I'm simply pointing out that they may not come as soon as people were hoping. Toyota/Lexus can very easily catch up I think when it comes to electrification. They just don't want to immediately hop in on the hottest trend quite yet.

[@RP-16]

I can answer that Toyotas scrambling to stay relevant so they try to fool us with pathetic stunts like this 😂

[@chyldstudios]

@@naveenthemachine This is what happens when you become big, bloated and bureaucratic.

@@chyldstudios agreed Toyotas losing relevancy now.

Actually 200 miles of range wouldn't be so bad if electric car ranges WOULD BE realistic. But the realistic range is probably like 160 miles on the motorway then, which will drop to 140 in 5-10 years of use. And THAT is really bad.

Toyota has just been taking Ls on their EVs

I went to go pickup my car from the Lexus dealer and seen a bunch if these turds parked in the lot. These things are as ugly in person as they are in photos and not a single person was walking near them.

Beautiful in Silver just as iconic as silver baby benz in the 1980's/1990's Futuristic Nostalgia? *I know I am old, almost 40 in 4 months but I never feel old, always feel 18 😅

The range is evolving, but backwards

This would be a really nice daily commuter, especially if you were a 2+ car family and had a gas powered car that worked for long trips. But what do I know, I have a 2009 Honda CR-V that I don't plan on getting rid of anytime soon. I just like to watch car review videos while I'm eating dinner.

I love the way it looks and I love Lexus as a brand but anything under 250 miles of range in 2023 is absolutely ridiculous.

Hmm, how to phrase this, Regular wheels steer is not adjusted based on car speed, it’s linear I guess

Doug, the type of guy to go the beach and not use the ocean as a spot to take a piss
