Update for reference. Just got an e mail stating that the NX F sport which we ordered in March last year has gone into production. I have cancelled the order and brought an RX last month (which I love and use the link app for) but the NX order has not been deleted from my app yet. Hope that everyone waiting get theirs soon enough.

Does anyone know how to turn off Google podcasts when connecting to Android auto? Every time I change the volume , AA skips to podcasts. I have tried all the internet self help tips but to no avail. RX 450h 2022 model. Wired AA.

After waiting for almost a year, I have finally given up hope and brought a 2020 RX from a different Lexus dealer. The main worrying factor was the lack of communication from my local dealer even after multiple emails and phone calls. Last update in October saying that delivery has been postponed again. Thought of leaving the Lexus brand, but difficult to make that decision based on one dealers interaction. Now to cancel my order and get the refund back. Not looking forward to service visits. So I will be moving to the RX forum, hoping everyone get their cars as early as possible.

Contacted my dealer 3 days ago to see if there is any update. No reply from him so far, last email in October saying an April delivery. 350h F sport ordered in the first week of March 22. Looking into getting an used Rx as I have a young family but worried about customer service given the lack of communication. Will give it a week to see if there is any feedback from the dealership, if not I will possibly go for a Volvo XC60.

Thanks, that's good to hear, did the dealership give any quotes?Just forward thinking as my car is still in the processing stage.

Has anyone thought of taking gap insurance other than from the dealership? Saw an article saying that you can save approx 285 pounds if taken from another provider when compared to dealership prices.

Ha , the things you learn!. Just was thinking the flat earthers had a tough time at that point.

Hopefully the next production line will be for sonic Grey, one can always hope!. As a virtual flight simmer myself may I ask what does the number plate signify? Excuse my ignorance.

Finally, gives the rest of us some hope. Now on the home stretch, wishing you patience.

Email to hq it is. I ordered on the 8th of March. 350h F sport in sonic grey. No add ons. Happy for you Andy, please update if your app changes it's status.

Welcome to the forum. I understand your frustration but please stop belittling other countries. Having experienced Indian dealerships I can assure you that they are fabulous. Dzien dobry.

Owen are you based in England? That is indeed good news .

I am in the same boat. Same order time, same specs and same delays. On the plus side my dealer does update every 3 months or so. Currently stating delivery in April, this is probably going to change again. I took advantage of the scrappage scheme they had at that time but it's looking very unlikely my car is going to last till April. I have started looking at XC 60s available for immediate delivery as a backup.

Unlikely as they have stopped taking any new orders. Don't think there are currently too many people waiting for that to impact market prices as a whole. Again I don't think this will happen, does not make any sense as I guess a 350h needs lesser chips than the 450. Or is it due to carbon offsetting goal for Toyota? Either way if this is true, I wish the dealers contact the customers soon so we can make an informed decision.

Oh, that's not a good news for me. Ordered last March and no build date yet. Don't like the plug in concept much, but lets see what's the outcome. Still don't understand why they can't build 350 if they can build 450.

Interesting, if it's from Lexus finance then shouldn't everyone else have the same problem? Isn't that a centralised UK finance provider?

It does say in the link app functionalities that you can precondition the cabin in 350 h. ICE will probably kick in but at least the option is there.

Don't the 350h have this feature?

Had an update from my dealer saying that my 350h EDD has been pushed to April now. Ordered 8th March 22. Initial delivery date was December, which was moved to February and now to April. He did say that the dates are quite fluid and this can come forward again, but I am not sure this was to keep me interested or not. Hope it is, may it last.

I think they took off the 450 option. They had some website issues last night so don't know which one is the causative factor.

Just had an update from my dealer that my order(NX 350h, ordered in beginning of March) has been pushed to end of Feb 23. Reason for delay was chip shortage and also the lack of gas which is used in the airbags. Ukraine is the main source for this and the war has impacted Toyota's supply source.

True, it's a shame that even with the negative data they are still persisting with it. With an EV which can't be moved if broken/out of power this is going to be a lot worse.

I think another factor we have to consider is human psychology, I would like to keep my car topped up above at least 30 percent all the time. This is different from ICE cars as I know I can find fuel in my next stop and it will only take 10 minutes of my time max. Even if I ran out, I still can get my Jerry can and refill it, or a quick phone call to my friends or AA will sort it. Of course this never happened, but the logic which allows me to be calm when driving long distances is all these factors. With EV, when the range drops below 50 percent I will be thinking of the next fuel stop, worrying if the next one will work or not, the possible road closures and diversions which affects my range to destination and try to keep it topped off at all possible times. Of course this thinking might improve when the infrastructure improves, but again if majority is thinking the same way and in a 100 percent EV future we might struggle to find a charger.

I had big hopes for the RZ. Given the waiting time of NX I thought i would move to RZ and be a green champion in my local grocery runs, rolling my eyes in despair and throwing my arms in the air with exaggerated desperation as local shoppers get out of their oil drinking behemoths. But as I saw the range my brain started to work, quite slow to be sure and through the very foggy COVID induced haze it has been. In a few years as BEV become more mainstream the infrastructure is hardly going to cope up. I know most people say nobody is going to drive 200 miles at a stretch, but if there is limited charging options in the road or if it's clogged or not working then every single mile becomes vital. Realistically charging at your home and hopefully at your destination might be the reasonable assumption here. I can't see myself pushing another car out of the port or stealing a charger from another car happening. So on that happy thoughts, I closed my RZ plans, steadied my mind as I cross the path of the EV crowd and waiting anxiously for my NX, which hopefully will be here before the second coming.

Disappointed withe RZ reveal, the low range is a deal-breaker for me. Staying with my NX now and keeping an eye on the RX reveal. I guess there would be a few more Lexus reveals before I get my car.
