Ever change a phone battery? It's fun if you tear the cell since you have about 2-3 seconds to rip it the rest of the way out and throw it in a ceramic container......figured that out the first time I replaced one. Hydrogen gas smell=soon to occur flame show, chemical fires are fun lol!
These are going to make great car bombs once people figure out that it's impossible to put out the fire and how easy it will be to remote control them in a few years. I think we will see an interesting series of events leading to cars becoming self drive only due to this...

I'm sure it'll happen. At least something like that will. Be the world's greatest car toy.

Do I really have to be so specific to address every condition?
Need to stop the personal comments and callouts. If you don’t care for someone’s posts put them on ignore.

The only Lexus models that are RWD in design are the IS, LS, LC and then the big SUVs like the GX and LX.
When you look at a carmaker like say, Mercedes or BMW the vast vast majority of their offerings are RWD design vehicles, while companies like Lexus and Acura are almost all FWD vehicles.

An AWD car can still be FWD in design. RX, NX, UX, ES are all FWD design vehicles is his point. Almost all of Lexus' sales are those vehicles.

What outcome is that? Someone said nearly 100% of Lexus models are FWD. Clearly, it's more like 40% based on which models are FWD/RWD in design. The fact that most Lexus sold are FWD have more to do with being cheaper to purchase than the actual drivetrain.
The issue is, right now SUVs are most relevant, and Lexus does not have RWD based SUVs except for the archaic LX/GX.

Lexus just flat doesnt compete in many segments because of this.

You ignore how many FWD Lexus vehicles are sold vs RWD. 80% of Lexus sales are FWD cars, and the RWD cars have been left for 10+ years with no new development. Lexus clearly is focused on less expensive FWD models.

And it is killing them.....that's a surefire way to move down-market just like Lexus has for the last 10 years. Sad since at one point they contended very very well with the big 3
