Both MotorTrend and Car & Driver have had access to the LC and were able to provide subjective feedback, but it seems they were not allowed by Toyota to publish any formal test results as recently as mid-April.
The GX550 has been tested and came in with a 6.2s 0-60 time, and Car & Driver says...
Keep in mind tire sizes are nominal, and the actual diameter can vary a fair amount between models.
For example, if you’re looking at the Wildpeak A/T4W the actual size of the LT265/70R18 and LT275/70R18 are both listed as 33.4”.
The 265/70R18 (non-LT) is 32.6”, and LT285/70R18 jumps up to 34.0”.
For those who want this but don't currently have it on their build, the OEM PN is #PTR03-35240 and it can be found for ~$50 online.

This is the closest shot of the roof rails I've been able to find. Definitely looks like a black rubber strip in a channel.
It looks like the 1958 trim also has the black strips.
Hopefully this means the rails can be easily removed (or added) as desired.
The 1958 doesn't come with roof rails, but the other 2 trims do.
Is there a difference between the roofs on the 3 models? Can the roof rails (or roof rack on the FE) be removed without irreversible modifications?
I don't have a use for roof rails/racks, and it definitely looks cleaner without...
Toyota does in fact list the brake rotor diameter as 17", but they must be referring to the size of the entire assembly...or maybe it's just a typo.
A 17" rotor is massive and would be on par with something like the Lamborghini Urus. At this point we are talking 21-22" wheels and not 18s.
I really like the look of the HFX-1 in either matte gunmetal or terra bronze (my incoming FE is Meteor Shower).
They also come in a 20x9 with +18 offset which would be about 9mm more inward than the white one above.
The WIldpeak A/T4W comes in a 275/60/20 which is a true 33" and is an SL tire...
The LC comes with pretty conservative wheel offsets, and could definitely benefit from something a bit more aggressive.
Anyone else planning to swap out wheels once their LC shows up?
These are the first aftermarket wheels I’ve seen installed so far...
