Best EV — dumped my Model Y for the Lexus RZ 450e

RZ450e in DC, 08/22/2024
2023 Lexus RZ 450e
I recently dumped my leased 2021 Tesla Model Y “long range” for the Lexus RZ 450e, after test driving 10 other EVs, including the Chevrolet Blazer and VW ID 4. Lexus discounted the RZ heavily so it ended up being a $43,000 car. I sincerely believe it’s the best EV you can buy today. My RZ 450e has the latest Lexus software update and I am getting 275-400 miles of range at 4.2-5.5 … miles/kWh efficiency — (See: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD3loYZi53Ltt1ybgHHuG4A/community?lb=Ugkx4R2DZDuSm7DlJ2Av2bcT9Loi49QKW8M3 far better efficiency than my Model Y, especially in city driving, which given my daily driving average of 25 miles means I charge just once per week to 100% which Lexus says its fine to do. Oh and my insurance dropped by HALF once I dumped the Model Y! Don’t listen to the skeptics or critics who tested pre-production or prototype RZ versions with old software, or the version with 21 inch wheels and then complained about range. But first let me explain why I dumped the Tesla. Over 30,000 miles, the AC on the Tesla failed, then the 12V battery failed without warning, stranding me for 2 weeks (and $1700 in car rental bills) while Tesla dithered around with replacing the battery. The powered frunk where the battery is located failed to open because the Tesla factory had failed to wire it properly, so they had to rig it to open it. Then the trunk strut failed which was traced to a faulty wiring harness and Tesla cited a 2 month wait to replace, with NO loaner available. If I had bought the Model Y, instead of leasing it, and had these failures happened after 50,000 miles warranty expired, I would have been out thousands of dollars, erasing any fuel savings. BTW, the Tesla odometer was also way off, which seemed like a gimmick/scam to inflate range. Speaking of range, the Model Y’s efficiency was awful in city driving; with 20 inch wheels, I rarely cracked 160 miles on a full charge in stop and go traffic due to aggressive regen which meant keeping the throttle pressed to keep the heavy beast moving. In DC winters, 110 miles was the best it could do, despite having a heat pump 😝 So ​I switched to the Lexus RZ 450e after test-driving the Cadillac Lyriq, Hyundai Ionia 5, Kia EV6, Ford Mach-e, Nissan Ariya, VW ID4, Chevrolet Blazer, Genesis GV60, and Toyota BZ4X and Subaru Solterra. I chose the RZ 450e with 18 inch wheels, which with latest software update unlocks more range and efficiency, and it was the best decision ever. As I noted above, disregard the skeptics / critics who tested pre-production or early production vehicles with old software. With latest software updates, the range and efficiency of the RZ 450e is amazing. 95% of my driving is in the city (Washington DC) at speeds below 35 MPH and I average well over 4.5 miles/kWh — vs 3.0 miles/kWh for my Model Y “long range” in similar conditions. On a recent drive, I got 7.2 miles/kWh. 18 inch wheels (NOT the optional 21 inch wheels) and using regen at lowest setting is key to getting maximum efficiency because Lexus designed an adaptive automatic regen braking system that recognizes when the car needs to slow down (for curves or stopped traffic) and blends in appropriate regen and friction braking as needed to simulate a true one pedal driving experience. So unlike Tesla which slows down immediately and aggressively the minute you lift off the throttle, Lexus lets you coast, which is especially fun when going downhill because the automatic reg braking slows you down as you get too close to vehicles in front! The RZ hits 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Its ride quality, powertrain refinement, quietness all blow the Tesla Model Y away. It glides silently over bumps and potholes like a Mercedes S Class /EQE/EQS or a Rolls Royce, while my Model Y crashed over them like it had no shock absorbers. The RZ has a light steering which makes navigating around potholes a breeze (the steering tightens up noticeably when switched into Sport mode). Unlike the Model Y, the RZ has TWO screens, one right in front of the driver and another large one in the center that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (with quick Home Screen short cut to access the main Lexus menu), so that’s another huge over Tesla. Plus there’s a superb heads up display and beautiful physical controls for adjusting cabin temperature, mirrors, wipers which are all done through the screen in the Model Y, requiring several distracting clicks. The steering wheel material in the RZ is surreal to the touch — silky soft — and boasts configurable buttons that can adjust a range of controls, including quick switching between Sport, Eco and Range modes (something I wished Tesla offered), adjusting cabin temperature AND airflow — these settings are also displayed in the HUD as you hover over the steering controls. The latest Lexus infotainment is snappy and hugely configurable and with the superb sound system, this is easily the best infotainment system in the industry. Lexus nailed the perfect balance of physical and onscreen controls — not having to go through the screen for controlling mirrors, lights and wipers definitely enhances safety. The two tone soft touch surfaces elevate the driving experience — you truly feel like you are in a luxury EV, unlike the somber interior of the Tesla. The Lexus lets you fine tune your efficiency to your driving style via Normal/Eco/Range settings, which once you sign in, it remembers your preferred settings. The radiant heat feature is genius — feels like a warm blanket on your legs. Safety features like Safe Exit Assist prevent doors from opening if a car or cyclist is approaching (can be overridden). The steering lifts up and driver side seat moves back to allow easy exit when you turn off the car. The rear hatch has a button that lets you shut the hatch with a delay AND lock the car — useful if you are unloading things with both hands and cannot press the close button with hands full. Lexus has so many thoughtful touches and safety features that make Tesla looks pretty crude and ancient — almost Iike an unfinished product, including: ldigital rear view mirror, homelink garage door opener, blind spot alert lights and beeps, 360 panoramic camera views, auto park, which more than make up for lack of frunk! What about road trips? I took one from Washington, DC to NYC — something I’ve done in my Model Y previously — the RZ 450e averaged 4.2 miles/kWh at highway speeds with AC on in 90 degree temps. Fast charged at Tesla Superchargers to 100% (since Lexus says that’s fine to do) in under 40 minutes and arrived in NYC super refreshed due to cooled seats, excellent auto steer, superior ride comfort and overall refinement vs the Model Y. In NYC’s stop and go traffic, the RZ450e is averaging 5+ miles/kWh — Lexus has applied its experience optimizing for city driving efficiency to the RZ 450e. I even camped two nights in the RZ 450e, just like I did in the Model Y, and it makes an excellent camping vehicle. The folding memory foam mattress that I had ordered for the Model Y fits perfectly in the RZ 450e! If you have a family, they would appreciate the massive rear passenger area, with flat floor, easy ingress/egress, and heated rear seats with controls in the back (unlike Tesla Model Y). Lexus also offers 30 days of a Lexus ICE or hybrid loaner for longer road trips, but if you live on the coasts, or in a region with a high density of public fast chargers , you will likely never need to opt for the loaner!
