It is very strange to me.
All Toyota hybrid engines have 80+C(176F) thermostat and they try to maintain approx. 189F(87C) even on driving with P&G.
The 140F range looks over cool area and your thermostat is maybe defective.
I would like to suggest that the FEH thermostat specification needs to be checked.
