I saw this today too!

 

I’m really happy about this… I miss normal door handles.

 

..and physical buttons for HVAC and stuff.

 

Cant agree more! I was having my SLC serviced and looked at an AMG GT 63 and an SL 55 on the showroom. Beautiful cars. ZERO physical buttons!! Everything has to be done via the giant Ipad slapped onto the center console area. That is an absolute deal breaker. Even if I were a billionaire and had a hangar full of cars, I'd buy the 2019 AMG over the 2026 simply for the lack of physical controls.

It's a shame the heated/ventilated seats on the LC are on the touch screen but at least we have physical HVAC buttons and a volume ***!

 

Check out this RX's Touch Screen after use in the real world.

The flush mounts are silly, harder to physically open than the grab mechanicals, and worse subject to electronical fail. Stupid

 

Since I 've already dealt with the broken door handle issue and my warranty is soon to run out, I'd rather just have the door handles be manual at this point. Basically, just be able to push on the one side and pull on the handle rather than the handles electronically pop out. I have a bad feeling this issue will keep rearing its ugly head and I'm going to have to constantly pay to have it fixed.

 

Did you see the update? It was just the factory screen protector(thin plastic film) that was scratched.

 

Yup just saw the update!

 

I am praying my handles do not break down. My car is garage stored and does not see rain.
The one annoying thing my 2018 has is intermittent condensation buildup in my rear back camera. I already had it replaced once. I finally figured out how it happens, somehow cool air and moisture is getting into the trunk llid space by the rear window and then blows towards where the camera resides. Whether its after a car wash, the windshield wiper spray or just cold air that is when it happens. I do not have the up and down spoiler so its hollow in that space. When I have my car serviced next I am going to have my dealer ask Lexus Corporate if they need to insulate the camera better.
