  1. Preston lexus will source your choice of tyres for you and fit them. There is a bit of a premium, but for me worth it as they're responsible for any wheel or tpms damage. Had them do it for mine when brand new as I wanted cross climates.
  2. Have driven the ES in snow although with Michelin cross climates. It's an easy car to control as long as you are sensible with your gas/brake/steering inputs. No special mode necessary, left in normal.
  3. Charging per mile driven is an incredibly bad idea when done bluntly as proposed. I'll keep politics out of this. The whole proposed shift to EVs was supposidly about being green (I know, don't get me started on that one). The way fuel tax was added per liter was also ostensibly the same. Add to those two that road tax is based on CO2 output. So all the policies are taxing the heavier more polluting cars more, while lighter more efficient cars less. Now apply a per mile to all cars, yes there are proposals for higher brackets for vans and HGVs, and you have given zero incentive for manufacturers to produce more efficient cars or for the average consumer to look for efficiency. If you lump all cars into one category that would mean if I were to barrell down the motorway in a 5 ton behemoth (e.g. hummer EV, or for europe/UK their nearly 3 ton EV SUVs) or a sub 2 ton efficient EV I would pay the same per mile?! How stupid is that?
  4. A question for RZ drivers. Doesn't the reflection from the rear window in the infotainment screen bother you? In my seating position it was annoying and covered most of the screen. I think it was mostly the rear window, could have been roof, and it wasn't a particularly sunny or bright day either during the test drive. It meant the maps were near useless.
  5. That's the newer touchscreen system. OP has a 2022, don't think that one was out yet, was it?
  6. Nope, without the ML there is no way to mute the music to hear the nav. All you can do is max out the nav volume so it can be heard over the music. Didn't know the ML system could do it, thought it was just lexus being idiots.
  7. The paper part should be pearly white, those sir have not been replaced. Unless those 200 miles were though a dust storm driving at 1mph and it took you several hours, or those 200 miles were done say over a year, then Tear them a new one!
  8. That is the question, sorry I don't have an answer to that one.
  9. The tracker, while a one time use device, once replaced after activation the subscription continues for whatever period is left. Confirmed with company rep.
  10. Should, yes. Though sometimes you might need to colour mix to get it perfect.
  11. Don't use super glue! Your dash is pliable, super glue isn't and is only ok to use when bonding to hard surfaces like metal or wood. Use something like this https://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/leather-repair-kit Instructors are pretty straight forward
  12. Since I found that I had the newer version, never had to bother, sorry. Even after rotations, the system so far has been able to figure it out for itself.
  13. For me it's responded to "go home", but that was long ago. Try that?
  14. You're not wrong. Kia and hyundai have a security vulnerability. There's a gameboy shaped key code generator that can get you in them remotely within seconds. No physical access required. Ev6 ioniq 5 and 6 seem to be vulnerable.
  15. That's exactly right! 0.1 difference between stated mpg and pump calculation pretty consistently. If its a lot more than that, especially if you have used the same pump consecutively, then they're cheating at that pump. Caught a local shell skimming 5%, reported and confirmed by standards. Yes 60 is easily achievable with long runs, it doesn't like shorter journeys as much. Expect 50s then, still respectable for a barge that size.
  16. Not exactly your problem, as they are talking about the motorized rear blind here: https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/rear-window-sunshade-buzzing.350934/ I would bet it's a similar problem with a plastic gear or potentially spring broken or out of place, but not enough to cause problems other than the buzzing. So, you'd need to take that tube apart.
  17. There's also one report on here that the plates were circumvented.
  18. Here's something that also makes no sense in the UK insurance market, compehensive vs 3rd party cost difference is negligible. Why? Every other country I've insured in, 3rd party is considerably cheaper as the goverment mandated option.
  19. Ramp up in thefts before the upcoming "fix"?
  20. 3 beeps indicate an incompletely closed door. Maybe a door sensor is failing.
  21. Agreed, but that charge still applies to a percentage of us sold vehicles depending on factory capacity vs actual North American sales, doesn't it?
  22. Only half of us market es cars are built there last I checked. The factory doesn't have the capacity to cover the full market yet. So import charges still apply to some extent. Please correct me, my numbers are a few years old now. Sorry can't figure out the multi quote function on my tablet.
  23. Correct, but usa destination charges have little to do with reality. Lexus us destination charges for the es were $1150 while uk destination charge is £700.
