imagine going out of your way to comment on a Lexus fan page because you have nothing better to do with your spare time. Let us know when Audi can match the reliability and quality of a Lexus if you wanna talk "jokes."
We all know this vehicle is DOA! This car is overpriced for what it offers. FYI, there's only Toyota and Lexus in my household, I only sell Audi.

It's hard for me to justify this price. Same exterior & interior as RX which starts more than 10K lower (48K), 220 miles and 313 horsepower. I think they should reduce the price to below 50 - 52K and let the top trim around 58K

How much more over the RX are you willing to pay for the EV technology, considering that it is new and more expensive than the ICE powertrain?

For me personally, I'd say negatively more or the same price. I can't really think the faster 0-60 compensate for the hassle of looking for charging station and the wait. But now BOM of EV is expensive, so realistically I can't expect it to be less.
Talking about RZ specifically, I think Toyota need to sell it around the same price as in China ($54K) at least if not lower. China has 25% tax on imported car, and now this car is cheaper in China than in US ($54K vs $60K) who charges I think either 0% or 5% for import car. China has a much more competitive EV market. Toyota is either just making more money in the US for selling the same car or use the profit in the US to compensate the loss in China. Whichever it is that should make US customers pretty angry.
