Owners of Lexus RZ models with 18-inch wheels and a 225-mile range (Premium trim) should allow 9.5 hours to fully recharge the battery pack. The Model Y has a larger battery pack, and it is expected to go 330 miles on a full charge. Charging to full at level 2 is slightly less than the RZ at 8 hours. Both vehicles come with All Wheel Drive (AWD).
Technology features of the Lexus RZ vs Tesla Model Y
The Lexus RZ 450e offers safety features such as collision notification, emergency help, and quick access to roadside assistance. A Wi-Fi hotspot, digital key, cloud-based navigation (Lexus Interface), concierge services, and remote access functions (such remote engine starting) are also included. Automatic collision detection, a digital key, Wi-Fi, and premium remote access options are some of the linked services offered by the Tesla Model Y.
What's the difference in these two Electric SUVs?
A 14-inch touchscreen interface powered by the most recent Lexus Interface infotainment platform can be found inside each 2023 Lexus RZ. There's a separate instrument panel behind the steering wheel. The Lexus has real dials to change the temperature and volume, unlike the Tesla, which only offers these on the touchscreen. Standard features include factory navigation, OTA updates, natural voice recognition, a wireless charging pad, and five USB outlets. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone mirroring is also included.
Each 2022 Tesla Model Y's center hub is a 15-inch touchscreen display. It replaces several secondary controls and a conventional instrument panel, so you'll want to get used to utilizing it. There aren't any dials next to the screen for temperature or volume, which can be difficult for some owners to get accustomed to. Four USB ports, a wireless charging pad, and factory navigation are included as standard features, although Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are not supported by the platform. Some might find the comparably conventional approach of the 2023 Lexus RZ to be easier to use.
The RZ's quality is consistent with other Lexus models, and more color options are available because Lexus produce their cars in greater quantities. In contrast, the Model Y has rather limited color choices.
At 6 months or 5,000 miles (whichever comes first) and 12 months or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first), Lexus will provide two complimentary scheduled maintenance visits. Tesla does not currently offer maintenance visits with purchase. In addition, Lexus has operated in the United States for decades and as such, has service departments all over the country. With Tesla being a newer company, finding a place for your car to be serviced in Macon is going to be problematic.
