Would work in the same way as renting out your drive for parking 🙂

Usually done via dealership recall. Mine was last December if I recall.

The same here, subject to outside temp 5-10 mile difference with fan off/on.

Update to range - since the recall update the drop has reduced. In winter i tended to get a 20 mile drop only when fan/aircon is on. No change for de-mist without fan.

Up to now I manage with the granny charger and my RZ450. However I now think it's time to invest in a standard charger. I am with Octopus and was wondering if there is any great need to get an Ohme as the charging schedule is controlled by the car.. Is anyone here on octopus using another charger from another supplier? I was thinking of Hive or Pod as the chargers look quite neat.

Car values are based on a combination of the physical product along with the quality of service from the marque itself. I have owned Lexus for over 20 years and the service IMO is exceptional. I have attempted to stray to other German brands and have been very disappointed from the outset. It is for this reason I have remained with Lexus. It is a brand I know and trust. I would hate to spend £60k+ on a car and be met with poor service with little redress and be treated as a number. It is for this reason I remain with Lexus and their reliability. The EV car market is over inflated at present and will take another 5 years plus to settle. However if RZ owners like myself are happy with their purchase then I struggle to agree that they have lost out. I intend to remain with the brand, who knows what comes next. I have the same debate over Apple products compared with other run of mill tech manufacturers. Quality and service cost, but are worth paying for.

I’ve just experienced this 🤔 needed to keep having fan off/on to keep windscreen demisted. As you say, once fan comes on EV mileage drops

Not had the need to de mist yet - we have been blessed with a sunny October in the main. Appears then that the need for fan will still be required in the winter months - I'll report back on this when I can.

Hi @wivenhoe just checked. With fan and ac off I get 234, with fan on low or high I get about a 45 drop. With fan off ac also switches off therefore it looks like the fan rather than ac, is the significant draw.

The GV60 was in my sights whilst I was waiting for the RZ - I had a couple of test drives and was pleased with it. However I was a little underwhelmed with build quality compared to my RX which I had at the time, I felt the GV60 felt a bit 'light'. Despite this being a Lexus forum it would be good to get your feedback.

too wet today to go to the car - I managed to pull this data from the app this morning though.

Last time I looked I had 'full charge' at 195 with fan on, not done the scientific test with a/c.. Not had the chance to test this properly yet esp with my issues over the w/e. I'll charge it up overnight/tomorrow and feedback.

@wivenhoe I have had mine just over a week. Thoroughly pleased with it !!! For once real life reflects advertising - the car is amazingly quiet, it is very smooth and so comfortable. Build quality is typical Lexus. Despite ordering it before officially released, I continued to scour the market for comparisons, other options I had were Polestar2 or 3, and also the Fisker Ocean. However I decided to stick with Lexus for known quality and customer service. If I were to pick a fault - it would be the range. However knew that it wasn't chart topping so I had set my expectations. I get about 2.9 out of it with a mix of motorway and urban. Overall though very pleased as I said. There are still very few on the roads, which is nice, I have only ever seen one other. I must also update my profile !!

Problem solved !! a visit to Lexus Leicester this morning has solved the issue. It turns out the issue was caused by ‘Smart Entry’ being enabled. In my menu tinkering at the weekend I must have enabled this. It switches off the RF transmission of the key fob - incidentally noticed as locking the car was only possible by a press of the fob and not by a door. Malcom from @LexusLeicester used his menu system prowess and powers of deduction to work this out. Many thanks to all who contributed to the discuss and a huge 🙏🏾👍🏾 to Lexus Leicester. As always with tech - user error to blame 😂😂

Update ** just been out to try @wivenhoe and it worked by holding the key fob up against the power switch. Display comes to life and car powers up and drives. If I power down and try again with key away from power button I.e. in pocket then it fails to power up. I’ll contact dealer, however thanks. Progress of sort.
