At night hold your hand under the rear view mirror and inside door handle and wood trim strip. Also footwells front and back, and probably some more I'm not remembering right now.

My dealer also goes a bit crazy with the tire pressure and it makes the ride harsher than it should be. I also get more front end slip in tight turns on surfaces with poor grip (e.g. turning in a parking lot feels really rough if there's sand or snow on the ground). Putting the tires back to normal pressure took care of all of that, and they had only put them up to around 38 psi. 50+ would be awful.

I don't think there is. It's brighter with the car in park, and dims down quite a bit once you put it in gear.

with the color of your car the tint would look great. here in hell we have a 35% limit. trust me it would look good on your car AND reduce the heat coming thru the windows and the glare. just a thought.

I can't imagine living in NC or SC and not wanting window tint. Certainly it is a very common practice for people to have their windows tinted. If nothing else, you want to shield-off infrared heat by 90% or more. Without window tint it's like someone has a huge magnifying glass on you inside your car when the sun is out. Plus, window tint always looks good on a white car. Or you can ride around like a goldfish in a clear glass fishbowl...

Its official, I am too old school....but with no intention off changing.
No way I want DCC. The comment about not having to use the gas pedal nor brake, just sent negative chills down my spine. If I get to the point where I want the car to drive itself, I will not be buying Lexus anymore. It wouldn't matter. I'd get something way cheaper. Part of the enjoyment would be gone.
I completely understand different strokes for different folks. My comment is no criticism to anyone. I just don't relate because I want to control the car.
