No. And you don't want it anyway. It is not reliable at the moment due to poor design. Hopefully Lexus removes it asap until they can get it to work like Apple iOS/Android key work. It is based on cloud servers that are not reliable at the moment unlike the iOS/Android versions.

They will sell you keys all day long. Smart Card, Valet key.
Don’t give them 50K till they have a second key. Then in a year when Lexus sends you one. You will have 3 of them

I guess they should have asked if you were ok to not have a key for one year. If you need two keys, then they will put you on another allocation list which will give you 2 keys. You will just need to wait for the car longer until they have stock for two keys. 🤷♂️

If you walk into a dealership today. They will sell you a key
So if they can sell you a key. You can demand to have two keys upon delivery. Or you will not be buying the vehicle.
Does it have to be an exact duplicate of the one key they have from the factory? No
But it will be a key that works
When I buy my next vehicle in 2024. I will tell the dealer. I need a Smart Card Key upon delivery. They can either say no problem. Or I can say no deal

I have been using the Digital Key for about 3 months. Works absolutely perfect for me.
As for the 2 key thing... would I have liked to have both when I bought the car, sure. How often the past 35 years have I lost a key and needed it? Um... not once.
