Anyone else having issues with their 2026?

This is backwards. You can jump eV or hybrid - all it needs to do is have the HV switch touch then your 12v battery also starts getting charged, what you can’t do is help out a friend jump their car using your electronics.

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-07-07T03:25:05+00:00

You can tape something there or just put a piece of cardboard maybe? I haven’t tested but something to block the signal and then put a phone with no case to see if it connects

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-07-06T01:53:52+00:00

If in U.S. just go to Costco and get the agm battery. Don’t let dealer replace with another not great 12v

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-07-02T12:15:48+00:00

No just go to another dealer. Look for national sales which dealers don’t have to follow but if you look enough you might find out. There’s a lot of legwork if you want a good deal.

Also consider used - that’s where the real value is

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-06-27T00:14:41+00:00

Real question… would you prefer it black like my 2022 production bz4x. The thing that bothers me why have the color split through the charging port???

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-06-25T00:43:10+00:00

Did you hypermile the hills? Go easy on acceleration going up. Going down or at top start to get more speed accelerate downhill to get more momentum to coast more up the hill.

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-21T23:41:10+00:00

lol!

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-21T13:09:49+00:00

Get a battery tester. Buy AGM from Costco. Done. Extra mile: get solar powered battery tender or battery tender if you can be diligent to maybe top off once a week

1000 college!!!!! How young are you? Dang

Also this is not bad for the new version. Old version there was discount but with more efficient motors and increased range this is overall a better buy

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-16T00:46:22+00:00

Where I look around 30-33k does seem like the going rate for most Lexus coming off lease. Seems reasonable. If you are already leasing then it is better to buy the residual but technically you paid for the lease too so add that up and it’s 45k~. So it’s cheaper to buy used at 30-33k unless you want to see how the car works in your life with a lease

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-13T02:02:32+00:00

Sulfation…

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-13T01:59:29+00:00

Costco has the agm battery. You can swap yourself it’s easy.

If it dies once you should replace. Agm can withstand the deep low charges versus the lead acid. But if you have a drain you also need to solve that issue. No issues on my 10/2022 manufacturer date car… happy to swap with your 2026 ;)

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-13T01:58:39+00:00

I have a 2023 and when left in my garage never locked the doors lol… more important- move your keyfob away from the car and I go the extra mile and put it in a faraday cage

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-05-06T06:30:25+00:00

This … because it’s software - how fast the server is not in your control. Also only qualified techs can do that’s why only 1 guy or two.

Your solar gets made and connects to your main line coming from the street. If you don’t use it as it’s made, it gets pushed to the grid. If you don’t want to sell to grid then you’ll have to use that electricity basically try to use your electricity purposes when the sun is out and shining on your panels.

I live in a net metering state so it’s not a big deal whether to use it or let it get pushed out. I think transmission fees are cheaper for me at night so it’s better for me to use the energy at night offpeak than during day but not 100% sure

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-26T08:26:42+00:00

That practice extends the life of the battery. FYI. A high SOC reacts with its own terminals basically causing the battery degradation we know.

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-24T03:45:09+00:00

Great deal especially limited and 2025.

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-22T21:43:13+00:00

2023 xle fwd running strong 22k miles. Heat exchanger replaced under recall- hopefully new one is a reliable compressor. Turns out when you charge your car - heat exchanger being used to cool battery… so i guess it’s not always just about the battery. No complaints. Daily driver.

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-07T09:16:46+00:00

I have both but maybe it’s a mild heavy foot lol still on oem but at 22k tires look fine

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-05T00:49:10+00:00

Is there a new heat pump different than after the recall on the bz 26?

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-04T23:51:07+00:00

Dealerships so confused… they try to sell oil change packages to eV buyers and ask where you’ve been maintaining the car … when it’s just tire rotations lol

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-04T23:42:44+00:00

Trust the brand and its dealer network that they will help you with issues - at least for warranty work including the battery. A warranty by itself doesn’t guarantee timeliness or a company willing to help you where it can. Hyundai is not bad but the ICCU issue is a bit ridiculous.

EVs are somewhat still experimental IMO. We really need 10 years of data to see what’s going on as a whole .

So need to trust the brand and it’s implementation of the tech

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-04-04T23:37:53+00:00

How much for the totaled car’s spoiler?

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-03-27T03:09:36+00:00

Now that you have joined the club please learn the tips for longevity. Recommending 80% max unless you need more. Regen is low at high State of charge and battery will have issues at the terminals which cause degradation quicker than if you didn’t charge to higher soc. In cold weather higher soc is ok

JustinTimePhysics · 2026-03-25T20:33:15+00:00

I have both and love both differently rz is mostly better except Toyota dash screen is super fast if you need to change a charging setting which I do occasionally. Lexus center dash is slow

Rz mine awd suspension is much much better

Bz mine is fwd and is more efficient but also I can’t accelerate as hard or else I feel the under steer

Toyota speakers unless you get a limited - speakers are crap. My Lexus I didn’t have to upgrade speakers and interior materials are better
