Agree with most of your points. I have a 2024 AWD limited and I can confirm 10-80% on 30 minutes on a DCFC in 70 degree weather. I never hit speeds over 95kw however, the charing curve was nearly flat at 95% until 65% SOC and dropped to 45kw at 80% SOC. Peak speed is great to brag about but I think a reasonably fast flat curve is better than hitting 150 and suddenly dropping off from too much heat, plus a flat curve is better for the battery. I do agree that faster battery charging in general would do a lot to compensate for the smallish 66.4 useable battery pack.
I own the 2023 FWD Limited for almost two years now. I do enjoy driving it and it's been great for local trips. The BZ4X is really easy to figure out. I tried driving other people's Teslas and I found them to be very awkward. I just couldn't get used to the controls or one pedal driving. Efficiency varies a lot depending on driving conditions and weather. I get anywhere between 2.8 - 6.0 miles / KWh typically. I average maybe around 4.0 miles / KWh. I primarily charge at home or work. I tried public DC fast charging when I had the EVGo one year trial. I stopped using the DC fast chargers since it's bad for the batteries and I have free charging at work. Too many times, the public chargers were broken when I tried them. I think the biggest issue with the BZ4X is now the cost. If Toyota can't offer long range, impressive acceleration, or fast DC charging speeds, they need to lower the price. When I bought the BZ4X, Teslas were expensive and had long wait times. Other EVs also were in very short supply and had significant dealership markups.
If it's navigation maps come from the same provider as the ones for the 2010 Prius you can't depend on it. Has my house listed a block away from where it is.
We bought one: warranty 10 years. In 10 Years all electric cars will be gone …. By the way it works perfect and we use it as a workhorse with blue signals as emergency doctors…. I think maybe Toyota never pays for influencers.
worst part about this car is the front end is ugly. Having to pay subscription for navigation depends why not just pay for updates like they have on the Prius. Not directing you to a functional charger is a massive negative. They should add a motor to go with its range so it can extend it like a hybrid even if it's just a generator. If you don't travel and you don't have far to drive to buy your groceries the range is fair. They need another 150 miles added to it. Charging speed is critical.
