We own an RX350 and have been very happy with it. When I first found out Lexus was coming out with an all electric vehicle, I was very excited, until I heard about the range. At that time I said "thanks, but no thanks". A few months later I went with a friend to the Lexus dealer to test drive the car...just out of curiosity. We were both very impressed. The sales person told us about the Lexus Reserve program that would give us a free loaner car for up to 30 days within a three year window. Parking my new car at home and putting the miles from a long road trip on another vehicle appealed to me. That made me re-think the purchase, so I bought it. We did install a level 2 charger. I drive all over and end up charging maybe once a week. I would not take this on a road trip, but 98% of my driving is around town. The car is fast, quiet, luxurious, reliable and has a LOT of technology. When solid state batteries get here (Toyota is saying by 2027), that will be a "game changer". Until then, I look for excuses to go out driving. UPDATE; I've now owned this car for almost a year and a half and still LOVE it. Since I have a level 2 charger at home, I've never taken it to a public charger. For long road trips, I just get a free loaner at Lexus and for anything longer than around 150 miles, were take my wife's RX350. I have had zero issues with this car.

It’s 6500k miles in my car I love everything but the range so bad I setup change to 90 percent it’s shows 160k miles of range after 4 months and now I charge to 90 percent and it’s showing 152 miles less 8 miles of range so it’s not good to travel for $61k msrp

Yes the range is less but that just means plugging it in every 5 days instead of 7. The ride is excellent and the slightly smaller size makes it ideal for commuting. Never buy the low profile tires unless you want replace the tires after hitting every pothole and you want a rough ride all the time Noticed sales are slow but a Lexus electric car is still the best option if you want reliability and class

Test drive one. Avoid 20" wheels. Consider getting one without the panoramic sunroof. I leased my RZ450e Premium (18" wheels, core package delete) a few weeks ago. About 695 miles traveled so far. 90% urban/suburban driving. 80-95+ summer weather. It is garaged overnight. I have used the Level 1 charger, but will upgrade to level 2 in a few days. Range: A full charge gives me a projected 220 to 240 miles. This fluctuates with drive and AC settings. I typically drive with a custom setting that includes motors and AC in eco mode and steering in sport mode. I have been driving mostly with ac on, fan level 1-3 and stereo playing. I set regenerative braking to maximum. I am averaging 3.9 miles/kWh over the 695 miles driven. Performance: The car is quick. Reviews put it around 4.6s 0-60. I don't have the means to professionally measure it, but I can feel the immediate torque in my guts. It is more than enough for any legal driving on roads or highway. Handling: I like responsive steering. Sport mode gives me that. I think the car has a tendency towards over-steering, but I have to practice a bit more with windy roads, EV torque, and regenerative braking. The ride is smooth. Lane assist functions are there, but I turn them off. Good traction in rain. Comfort: It lives up to usual Lexus expectations. Palomino interior is sublime. Touch control screen is well-positioned for the driver. Stereo system is crisp and wonderful. Storage: Good. Just realize it is a chonky hatchback. Rear seats fold down if needed. There is a surprising amount of room for passengers, particularly leg room in the back. Quality: Time will tell, but everything about it seems true to Lexus form. It comes from Lexus Motomachi factory. 8 years 100K warranty on the motors. 10 years 150K warranty on the battery. Gripes: The hatch opens surprisingly high. Be careful in garages. Finally: The RZ450e is great, way better than many reviews would claim. Take advantage of the bad press and huge lease incentives while you can.

It may be short on distance compared to other EVs, But it's been dependable, just like an ice Lexus. For my driving needs the distance is no problem Many of the other EVs have had reliability problems.
