Hi Mike, I am compelled to respond to your pain. My car is a 2020 F Sport 450h with less than 3k miles. When new I left it for 3 weeks while traveling overseas and on return it would not start. At the time I thought I left a light on that drained the battery. I jump-started and drove it for an hour and since then drove at least every day for half hour and did not have issues. I left it for a week and it could not start, jumpstarted and drove it for 30 miles to a mall. It could not start when I returned to the car. Jumpstarted and headed home and called Lexus for service. When I went in today, they told me that it must be driven at least twice a week or start the engine twice a week and run it for 30 minutes to keep the hybrid battery which starts the car charged. Essentially saying, you can't leave the car at the airport and travel for 3 days because you won't start on return. Is this how hybrid cars work? Is this how Lexus expected consumers to operate it? If so why did Lexus not disclose at the time customers purchased these type of cars? I am looking for anyone else who has similar issues because it is exhausting. On the brighter side, once the car starts it is a great car. John
