But TRD means Tesla Racing Development

Tesla, secretly owned by Toyota, is another one of their high tech racing divisions,

I debadged my hybrid, is that why it's so slow?

Arty101

I think it should be faster since it's lighter.

I advise against taking off the badges identifying any car as a hybrid. The reason is that it alerts emergency crews in case they have to use the jaws of life on your car after a crash to review the procedures for your particular car. If not, they could cut into the high voltage wires and either endanger themselves or the passengers trapped inside.

Beware of dealers guys. One dealer told me my car needed new brakes, but emergency brake works fine. They are scamming you

Dealers... cant trust them. 1 told me that my car was all wheel drive I found out later the car was only 4 wheel drive.

Arty101

At least your dealer got it partially right. My dealer told me my car needed new emergency brakes but my feet should hold for now.

Not joking this time, I only removed the rear "Lexus" and "ES300h" badges. The side hybrid badges are still there but they're tiny. I wonder if there are other methods for emergency crews to tell if a car has high voltage bits inside.

If you are taking your ES in for its first service, ask your service writer to have the muffler bearings checked. These can be the source of rattles at speed and may be changed out for racing parts at no charge.

My GPS doesn't work. I put the address into the GPS and it gives me the route but my car doesn't drive automatically, I have to make the turns manually?

You should have gotten a Genesis.

My keyless entry is broken. I am trying to open the door without the key with me but it won't open? Anyone else having this problem?

Arty101

That happened to me a couple of times too. But once I started putting in luxury gas, she'll unlock for me. It's a respect issue me thinks.
