Strange, wish I had mine so I could try to hear it in person. Although, with my tinnitus, it probably would just sound normal or like nothing at all. One of the perks of not being able to hear high pitched whines or my left turn signal left blinking🤣.
I used to wonder why old people would...
Other Toyota hybrid drivers say you get used to it eventually. Tesla used to allow you to change the sound but the FMVSS mandates the audible sound to warn blind people of oncoming vehicles. The problem is that ICE vehicles are now quieter and the blind community even objects to the mandate...
Are you certain its not the pedestrian warning "spaceship" sounding noise you are hearing from inside the cabin? It is audible inside the cabin when driving.
If you lock the vehicle from the outside with the physical key inside the key fob or lock the vehicle from the inside using the drivers door lock, the hybrid system should stay on indefinitely. It's in the manual if you want detailed instructions. You need to have the hybrid system on before you...
Would be interesting to tell ChatGPT what you wanted and see what it gives you to compare. It's pretty amazing what it can do. Needs someone who knows what they are looking at to confirm it is done correctly but its very useful for things like this.
It's the law now that hybrid/electric vehicles have to make a pedestrian warning sound. Let's hope someone provides some aftermarket solutions that sound better...
Sounds like there will probably be some needed headlight adjustments from the factory setup. We should be able to point the headlights slightly up a bit which should help. Might get a few more drivers flashing their lights but better than hitting a pedestrian or animal crossing the road not...
Our vehicles were on the same ship. My dealer last week said his system showed mine now processing on the July 11th but it originally showed processing on June 29th. Delivery window has now slipped to July 16th-August 13th. He said set expectations towards the end of the delivery window. Agree...
Found the comment I was referring to. it's on Land Cruiser subreddit. Curious if PDXoriginal posts on here as well. At least people are trying to compare the beams. Hopefully we'll get some comparison pictures/video within the next few weeks.
The person just phrased it as too dim but that could be too short of distance as well. If you look at the design of the round headlight, the LED does not go in a full circle and the top of the light is flat which is what is causing the pattern mentioned above.
I recently read one comment on the rectangular lights being too dim and the person leaving the auto high beams on for this reason. Can anyone who has rectangular lights speak to this? Are all 3 projectors used while low beams are on? Time for a side by side video done with the same stretch of...
Surprised we haven’t seen a comparison yet by any YouTube reviewers or owners. Surely this is a win for team rectangular over round. Now the round team needs to decide if exterior retro looks trump real world performances. They seem bright enough, just a little distracting with the pattern which...
First edition really boils down to the headlights. The cost to switch will require a few parts from the bumper assembly plus ~$1,000 per headlight. If you don’t plan to keep the FE stock and plan to exchange the rock rails, rack, add different wheels etc the FE doesn’t make sense unless you...
Hard to say but the 200 series was in more limited supply and was phased out in the US so there is increased demand for fewer vehicles. The new 4 Runner shares a lot of similarities with the LC250 which also puts some downward pressure on resale value. Only time will tell with the many variables...
Do you have any plans to offer something similar to the Jaos side steps which don’t stick out as far? I like your design but a little worried about how far out they stick.
Found this to be an interesting post on a Highlander forum regarding regenerative breaking and downhill behavior of Toyota hybrid vehicles:
“So here is my experience from my wife's Lexus NX 350h, which basically has the same ~240hp combined powertrain as the Highlander (RAV4 and Camry have the...
