🙋‍♂️THANKS KEVIN AND ERIC AND THE REST OF THE MUNRO TEAM 💚💚💚

When doing hoist reviews, it would be nice if the initial shots showed the undercar aero shields fully installed so we could get a sense of how smooth and well-designed they are. A quick analysis of those panels would be nice too. Keep up the good work, guys.

I can't wait to see a tear-down of the drive-by-wire system! Great video, thank you!

[seanprice]

Great video as usual. Big fan of that 2-post lift, safest in the market!!!! 😎

The bolts and other hardware visible around 16:50 appear slightly purple; is this just an effect of the camera light or some type of coating/material of the fasteners themselves?

[normangebhardt]

Thanks Kevin for your detailed hoist review.of the Lexus RZ 450e.

Some of us drive on the left in RHD. Just deal with it at design stage. Lean design=cheap, good design=works for all customers.

I like Kevin. He notices things others might miss. Unfortunately one has to translate the bloviated "corporate engineering speak" to try to figure out what he's saying about monuments to itself and themselves.

[jandeman]

Need a real teardown like in the past. Its now only the outside of vehicles.

[markcain]

Eric is doing a great job. Y’all try to speak for 15 minutes straight with a camera in your face.

[pgiatrakis]

Thanks so much for the tear down, great channel.
My hope is that Toyota/Lexus really focuses on BEV lineup.

Based on dirt shown here, Sandy should direct each new MBA associate to power wash 5 undercarriages as part of training.

[bengerendash]

Anyone playing the "themselves" drinking game?

[froggy]

It’s only the old Model S and X that are not being made in RHD anymore. They’re essentially old cars now and were never volume sellers.

Model 3 and Y are very much remaining in production for RHD markets, as will future new products.

[xxwookey]

I didn't understand his point about an 'open' and 'closed' front architecture. Can someone translate please?

[batchint]

sandy should take a look at the sarb gripen.. cause they might like to like it when it’s gone…

I had a Lexus for 5 years & loved it. It seems Toyota’s business model for Lexus (and itself) is to keep the new stuff out. They wait till new features to be tested by other OEMs in both tech & market expectance before they put it into there cars. Then they work on reliability and making sure their products last a long time. This works fine where there is little innovation and things are moving slowly. It’s tough when there is rapid innovation as it is today when the industry to moving to EVs.

[Pikminiman]

I never considered steer-by-wire from the perspective of parts commonality between right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive vehicles. It's an excellent point which I bet Toyota considered in making this Lexus.

[calholli]

The word "itself" gives me nightmares now; I can't stop hearing it.

tnga is a chicken wrap !!! i cant even start ... :) :) :)
