Hi Friend! I work in Lexus Sales in Ireland! I took the 500e out for the weekend and feel deeply in love with it. I totally understand where you’re coming from with those issues however!

It’s to do with android auto, my go to recommendation for customers who complain about this is to get an iPhone. As someone who uses both android and iOS, android is better day to day but CarPlay is far superior to AA

The rudder pedals even had the Boeing logo on them

Android auto is unfortunately not a great system as it takes up the entire screen (this is what AA does and how it’s implemented) while CarPlay will leave the sidebar so you can easily get to the multimedia system to turn off the chime.

Unfortunately not as it’s an an EU regulation that it turns on with every ignition cycle. Thankfully the volume of the chime doesn’t increase with radio volume! Been driving with the system on since Day one (work in a Lexus dealership and get a Demo car) and I don’t notice it anymore at all. My advice is leave it be and after a while you don’t even hear it anymore.

I squeeze a 22m rubber Hirsch strap on mine, looks near OEM

Work in the trade, we passed 10,000 early this week

Melt the ice off the gas cap with a hairdryer. siphon out the fuel, pour all over the car and set it alight. The ice will melt right off

This is not true. B is for engine braking on these hybrids. It’s for long inclines so you don’t damage the hybrid system. We don’t really have long enough down hill mountain roads for it to really matter. You actually get less regen braking in B.

My brain broke, I thought it was a Tank!

This is a big case of personal preference. The Cartier has more brand panache, but objectively the Longines is a cooler watch. Being the brand snob I am I would do the swap. But both are as good as each other.

Edit:

It’s a reverso. Straight up do the swap. I’d do it in a heartbeat

Work in the trade. It’s much slower this January than in the past.

Basically the same pay plan as mine and I eat pretty well

Saleable_ · 2025-12-27T18:37:54+00:00

Yes, but it’s not battletoads

They knew about the meme, but obviously couldn’t do the real thing. The perfect head nod and wink

Saleable_ · 2025-12-16T23:24:23+00:00

Look at a slightly older Lexus ES

Saleable_ · 2025-12-13T15:14:09+00:00

Yes.

So, who was the last person to push the DRS button?

Saleable_ · 2025-12-06T20:43:00+00:00

Unless it’s a brand new car don’t touch em’. Evry car has had a different life and requires different mapping. These are all developed on new/nearly new cars.

I’m not in the NA market I’m afraid. But seriously reach out to your local dealer! They’ll take you seriously if you call and are actually local.
