I came to the same conclusions you had on the model 3, hated - driving position - lack of a lot of direct controls while relying heavily on the central screen - lack of instrument cluster Thanks for your insights on the EV6

Curious as to why you picked the EV6 over a Tesla 3 or Y. Are there good incentives in price for the EV6? more comfortable? fit and finish? supercharge network vs public charging? Sorry for the 3rd degree 😀 genuinely interested in the reasoning.

Actually there is a big difference between uk and mainland europe weather because of the polar jetstream. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/types-of-weather/wind/what-is-the-jet-stream

Are all seasons acceptable (M+S with tripeak snowflake) in Italy, like in Germany?

Well after some more digging, looks like lexus have changed to the more complicated setup in recent years (when? 🤷‍♂️), including on my ES, where one can register an ID change and drive to complete initializaton. Thank you @Boxbrownie for making me dig deeper. So if you're lucky, or unlucky (time will tell), to have the newer system there's now two initialization modes for the system a "set pressure" mode and a "change wheel set" mode. Both accessible from the dash menus under TPWS. Older versions will just have initialize TPWS, equivalent to the set pressure mode and ID changes still require techstream or as outlined above.

You also have error codes for the accident avoidance system! I'm assuming your car has those systems, autonomous breaking or at least warnings when you approach vehicles too fast? Those are systems I would not screw with, and would take it to a professional.

Since we're on a lexus/toyota forum, BMW's and Range's more complicated and error prone ($$$) systems did not come to mind. Compare to

It's one antenna/receiver for the whole car, not one for each corner, and that's not just Toyota/Lexus. It's even sometimes combined with the key receiver in one module. My guess is you either got lucky or had good shops/mechanics who cared.

Congrats. Let us know how you're getting on with the new car, driving impressions, noise, charging...etc. Also, do you have some interior pics?

This is a post as much for myself as well as my fellow members on our TPMS systems. So as most of you know, our cars use TPMS sensors of the pressure sensitive (mounted in the tyre) masquerading as valve stems variety. Each sensor has a code that is printed on it and these codes are then programmed into techstream. You either have the simple system where you just have a TPMS light on your dash and are left having to check each tyre to find which one is low or you have a newer system where the tyre pressures are read out on dash. With the newer system you could also be left scratching your head as to which tyre is low if at some point the order of the tyres on the vehicle was mixed up (e.g. buying a new set of tyres and the wheel TPMS sesnor didn't go back to the same corner it was taken off). Frustrating isn't it?! Let's start with techstream. Under TPMS in techstrem you have usually 4 (or 5 for vehicles with a full size spare) TPMS IDs listed in the system. The problem here is that they are just listed as ID1 through 4, no mention on which corner. Now ideally it should be according to Toyota USA (not sure if Japan or UK may be different): ID1 = Front left ID2 = Front right ID3 = Rear right ID4 = Rear left So top view clockwise from front left to rear left. Sadly, a lot of mechanics/shops ignore this and things get screwed up. Also the car doesn't know which corner each TPMS sensor is on. It will just read them out onto the dash based on the above sequence. So if they've been swapped around, or they have been replaced, reprogrammed...etc. they could be out of sequence. Now hopefully they aren't out of sequence and they are each on the correct corner. If one of them goes bad or reached end of life, you'll need to reprogram all of them in a set time (5 minutes) in techstream, assuming you have techstream, not just the one that's being replaced. Even worse, you have two sets of tyres, summer and winter, so you have to program each time you swap tyre sets. If you go down the techstream route, make sure to get the list of all sensors as shown above before you go into the reprogram screen, and most importantly make sure you write down the code of the new sensor before it is mounted on the tyre (or you'll need a read tool which I mention below). Here's a quick how to: If you're OCD like me, and you rotate tyres and it bugs you that the pressures shown on the dash don't correspond to the correct corner, you'll also be doing a reprogram every tyre rotation. If you are availing yourself of the dealer service, which is what I do, one would hope they would do the same. Although speaking to one of the service managers, I think they might not bother. So you end up doing it yourself anyway. There is also an alternative method without having to resort to techstream. you can buy a TMPS reader/writer (e.g. https://www.autelstore.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxitpms-pad-tpms-sensor-programming-accessory-device.html) and programmable TMPS sensors (e.g. https://www.autelstore.co.uk/wholesale/autel-mx-sensor-2-in-1.html) or a combo (https://www.autelsale.co.uk/wholesale/autel-maxitpms-pad-sensor-mx-sensor.html) as replacements or even a whole set for winter tyres. You can program the whole new set with the same codes you have on your summer set, or just the one bad sensor you're replacing with the code from the sensor that failed. In either case no techstream programming needed. See following video for a quick how to on a relatively cheap reader/writer and programmable TMPS sensors: I hope this helps those who are going through some TMPS problems, and myself when the time comes.

On the second image it's not showing the error code, this means the problem is not in thus particular ECU/computer. Find in which ECU the code is stored. Some vehicles have two lkas menus, lkas and lkas2. Health check will scan all ECUs but will take a few minutes, be patient.

Can you post a screenshot of where you are in techstream? Also, the error you're getting should show up, does it not link to the lkas screen? One last thing, which version of techstream are you using? Some functionality has been disabled in the newest versions. I think 12 is the last one with complete functionality.

See this tutorial on how to use techstream. Not sure which menu he poked around in to get to lkas, possibly under cruise control as lkas doesn't fully activate unless you have acc on.

It only beeps on mine if I am over the limit. Never had an ota update, behaved that way from new. Camera shows on map though, and on bottom conrer.

Hopefully one of our members is located near you, has techstream and is willing to help. You could also purchase one.

That error is Object recognition camera initialization incomplete. He turned on the system, since there's nothing to initialize, he didn't, forgot to tun it off, so now you get that error. You need to go back into that system and deactivate.

I opted for all seasons here in the UK. Michelin CC+. Made the mistake of summers once on a new car, then a dedicated set of winters, also a mistake as they're overkill for most of the UK. Goodyear vector 4 seasons, and the new conti all seasons are well reviewed too.

Summer tyres tend to do that on the lines at current low temps. Are they summers, how old? Older harder tyres are even worse at low temps.

If you were looking at the camry, then ES300h should be on your list. At the time I got a better price on an ES than I could on a Camry. Not to mention that the ES is considerably better built.

First off, no need to shout. Those are some mighty large fonts 🤣 Do you work for exxonmobil? who btw fund aei. at least partially fund that is. It was also a bit embarrassing to have exxonmobil ceo lee raymond on aei boad of trustees, so he isn't anymore. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/feb/02/frontpagenews.climatechange but in all seriousness, so we can give the thread back to @Mincey ; you are pulling my leg, right?

We got to see "God on a Quad" at the end 🤣

Apologies to @Mincey for the thread being hijacked. How did we get from the dashcam, soundtrack and going over hatches to here? Sorry. Please save us with another excellently scored dashcam clip.
