Lexus TZ Debuts!
1% puts you at a minimum of $730k a year. No need to overthink this. Not sure why the Escalade IQ isn't at the top of the list. Lucid should be a homerun. GLS580 a major contender. Gas is a nonfactor at that income level. Just get a real luxury EV SUV with the range you want and be done with it. No need to mess with Toyota Highlander Plus.
You bitched and moaned incessantly about the newer generations of the LS, why didn’t you just go buy something else instead of complaining? Because you're a Lexus fan and it frustrated you.

You chose selective hearing and remembering instead. Seems to be a theme with you though. 
Different people have different wants and needs. Just like you have yours. Not sure why you think your way is the only right way. We have 3 cars with 2 drivers in the family. GX, NX and the Sienna. We actually reaearched the ev Highlander and considered it. Your head must be exploding from your own misconceptions lol

If anything, food prices are much higher - are you now going to Walmart instead of Whole Foods lol
At the 1% income, you should be able to handle modest swings in gas prices and it should not impact your long term car plans. The $3 gas will be here before midterms!
I really don’t understand people focusing on gas prices when its an expense that is not meaningful and has been well below the pace of inflation.

I enjoy shopping for and finding the right cars for myself
I'll have to look at one up close. I drive through the Caddy dealer looking at Escalades all the time..
Looking back it seems the Pacifica was a good score for you.
It had the space, range(Ice), and fits in the garage for a good price(on budget).
I thought it would be easy to get that in an Ev but it seems harder than it looks at the present time.

The TX550h+ would be an easy choice if it were more widely available. I have 4 months, I would just order one but Lexus doesn't really do ordering like that. Honestly a PHEV is the perfect vehicle for us there is just limited availability in the 3 row space. 2 rows I'd have plenty of options, 3 rows its much harder. 3 row EVs are coming out all over the place but none have broken out on range yet.
Like I said before, if this had 350 miles of range it would be perfect.

Im a Lexus enthusiast and I would like to buy a Lexus. I don’t like the Lucid Gravity and the Escalade IQ is too big. We want a plug in vehicle. What’s so hard to understand?
