LC250 Criticisms After 4k Miles

This is something I'd heard you can do. So I looked into it more. Using the Toyota app you can Start/Stop as well as Lock/Unlock your car. This is how I did it. But I think you can also use the dedicated shortcuts app to even have it do these commands with buttons/tapping instead of voice commands. Here's how to do it. First click "Info" on the main screen. Then go to "Siri Shortcuts" After that type/speak the phrase you'd like. I included mine below, I kept it simple. I couldn't find a really good YouTube video on it to share but I found a decent one HERE. Maybe I'll make my own video if anyone is interested.

I came across an awesome video from one of my favorite youtube creators "TrailRecon", who details 6 gripes he has with his LC250 after he has broken it in.

A breakdown of his criticisms are as follows:

1. Spare Tire Clearance- The undercarriage, especially with larger tires really limits the rear clearance probably because of the Hybrid battery space.
2. Windshield- The windshield is very upright and prone to chips and cracks
3. Warning Sensors- The new safety tech can be annoying to hear, especially when you are offroad.
4. Approach Angle- Both the front and rear approach angles are not very good, and could use a lot of trimming in order to bring some peace of mind.
5. Fuel Economy- Stock mpg ~ 20mpg, current with lift and bigger tires ~ 13.5mpg. Fuel capacity is only 18 gallons.
6. Sway Bar Disconnect- Reconnects at 18-20mpg, have to reconnect once you slow down.

Is there anything that this list is missing that you have found in your LC250?
