Lucky guy!
An awkward shaped buggy?
It's mad that the handle isn't hinged to fold flat with the frame. Would reduce about 20% of its length when folded.

Yeah it would be good if it could fold back around, the wheels do come off though which is handy.
It will of course back fire and he'll be pram shopping on the weekend as the missus likes the Volvo. 
Easier rear opening for putting dead weight sleeping kids in cars seats too, won't be breaking your back.
Rolling a pram in and out of the taycan will be a bind with that lip unless your missus is a weightlifter.

haha yes that's it, more reasons not to get a Taycan please.
Though I imagine it's 12 months+ delivery and probably won't be using the pram by then.

So it needs servicing every 8000 miles then?Service intervals are cracking:

For those interested Lexus RZ is now on the portal I have access to. MRP is as follows;
Premium - £61,719.00
Premium+ - £65,719.00
Takumi - £71,219.00
Premium - £61,719.00
Premium+ - £65,719.00
Takumi - £71,219.00
Rather have a Kia EV6 (GT)
- More range
- Faster DC charging
- More Performance
- More space
- Better spec
- Looks better
- Cheaper
I thought the same about the NX vs the equivalent RAV4 but checked it out anyway, the Lexus definitely felt another level despite same running gear, don't know RZ compares to the NX but the NX was a far nicer place to be than the Toyota i'd pay the extra for Lexus.
I'd image the RZ would match or be superior to that, same with the comparison to any Kia, Kia are a lower quality product IMO or at least feel that way even if the running gear might be superior.
Spec sheets don't tell you the whole story, things like fit and finish and ride quality also matter.
Fast charging speed of the Kia sounds great but the ability to use that level is about as convenient as filling a Hydrogen car
I am lucky enough to have a 150Kw station that's just opened down the road though, which will help should we have a charging fail.In my car replacement journey, the Lexus dealership experience in Bristol trumped every other brand, it was only that the car didn't quite fit us we're not in one.

Toyota does the same extended warranty as Lexus as well

We've currently have a VW Up and an SLK320, do around 10000 and 6000 miles a year, we have no monthly car payments. Just fuel and tax.
Would love to have an electric car, but the finances don't compute for us at the moment

I doubt its the identical car for more dough it will be more up market, some are happy with cheap and cheerful, the Toyota will be middle of the road and I'd wager its top end trades blows with the low end Lexus, and the high-end Lexus will be offering more interior luxury with respect to materials and design etc.
Hard to know what the specs of the RZ offer, I've not seen the full spec, but like any brand that platform shares, the models hit different price points based upon features and design options on offer, same reason an Across is £10k less than a Rav4 and an NX £10k more, each offer the same drive train, some will be happy with the low spec Suzuki and some rather pay that extra 20k for the high spec Lexus.

You're not a strong enough man mathematician

The cheapest car to run is typically the one you already own (assuming you actually own one of course). I don’t think that proposition has changed since cars started rolling off the production line.

Pretty good Lexus are making an EV SUV, I feel there is a niche in the market for an EV SUV
