My guess is, if you find a Tesla forum, you'll find people there who think a Tesla is the be all end all in vehicles and will defend a Tesla against anything else out there.
So based on what you've said, you'll never own ANY vehicle because there is always bound to be some owner who buys the vehicle JUST because of the label. Still, I have to reiterate that I have never seen anyone purchase something based on how he feels about the owners of the product RATHER than the product itself. |

Well I have found a tesla forum and non tesla forums and I have yet to run into anything of the sort. I don't care if some singularly comes along and does what he/she wants to. It's bad when someone from the outside looks in and gets that impression. I am even on other non-tesla specific forums and I have not run into one person that acts the way a good amount of people do here. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back maybe you can sleep better at night because you own a Lexus. Maybe you need to take a step back and look at the cause. Or maybe you should save your words and use that to help the new Lexus owner with a RX 450h that won't go into EV mode, oh wait I did. I bid Lexus forums goodbye.

I like my 400h too. Yes it has some things that could be improved and it has a few quirks. But overall it is an enjoyable car to drive. If I want a sporty drive I take my Porsche; if I want to haul stuff I take my Yukon. If I just want to get somewhere in style and confort I take my 400h.

My wife and I LOVE our RX400h; but I tend to nit pick everything in my life, so why should my car be any different. For as much as I bitch on certain things (like the NAV system, XM Radio 'upgrade'; bluetooth issues; my wife and I marvel at the quietness, the ride comffort, and the reliability. We were previous RX300 owners for almost 8 years before buying our 2nd Lexus, the 400h. It has been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I wouldn't take a BMW (WAY overpriced for what you get), a Mercedes (horrible relaibility), Range Rover (see previous comment) The only car we considered before buying this was the Acura MDX, which was actually a little too big for our tastes. I am a HUGE Acura fan, but also a HUGE Lexus fan!!

I'll admit the overall atmosphere around here's been on the negative side lately. Too many complaints : compliments.

And the Lexus forums bid you goodbye. Banned. Sheesh...and he says we're self righteous? |
