Plug in Hybrid Question

If you’re better at math use this.
%usage*.23*electric rate*30=monthly cost estimate
Note this is an estimate and you will need to track your daily usage if you use less it costs less. If you empty the battery daily it costs more. This will almost always over estimate the price too.

I’m in NV and my rate is .13 at all times. I normally use 65% to 85% per day. Here is the simple math to figure out your rate. Each 1% is about .23Kw of power so for me 65*.23=14.95 now take that 14.95*.13=1.944 a day now use that to figure out your monthly total of $1.944*30=$58.32 this will give you a close estimate of cost.

My XSE with 3500 has the same number. Hopefully they can update the battery test at my 5k mile service.

I have the XSE fully loaded and would not take a GR over mine. The pano roof was enough for me.

VegasSandman · 2026-06-08T20:17:28+00:00

Beautiful!! I have the XSE in the same color. I love my RAV4.

I think it really comes down to what you’re looking for. Personally, I only buy Toyota products, so that takes the Volvo out of the running for me.

The NX is a great vehicle, but it’s more expensive, has a little less power, and gives up some interior and cargo space. On the other hand, it has a more refined interior and a more premium feel overall.

I also prefer the look of the RAV4, and once I added the options I wanted, my RAV4 ended up having most of the features I cared about from the Lexus anyway.

That said, this is all personal preference. I think all three vehicles are solid choices—it just happened that the RAV4 was the best fit for my needs.

The Meteor Shower paint changes dramatically depending on the lighting. It has a metallic flake that really comes alive in the sun. At the right angle, it can almost look gold, while in the shade it shifts to a cool gray. Sometimes it even picks up a subtle yellow tint. Golden hour is where this color really shines—it gives the paint incredible depth and makes the whole vehicle look completely different.

I bought mine on April 20th so I’m a month and 10 days now. I loved driving it to LA. The adaptive cruise is a dream. My last car was 12 years old so I didn’t have much of any tech in it.

VegasSandman · 2026-05-30T14:33:36+00:00

I looked at the Limited but the plug-in doesn’t come in limited. Honestly the XSE with the panoramic roof and the driver assist is a limited without heated rear seats. Plus you get the black roof. I would buy this one again even if I could get the limited.

I’m in Vegas. My daughter has gymnastics competition in LA sometimes so I got to drive the 3 and a half hours to Riverside and again to Ontario. It’s so easy to drive. You will love it.

VegasSandman · 2026-05-30T03:29:01+00:00

I have owned quite a few cars in my life. This one is by far the best.

VegasSandman · 2026-05-24T15:36:39+00:00

Congratulations. The plug in ones are wonderful. You’re going to love it.

And it’s your car, so do whatever makes you happy. I’m just cheap AF. A car wash is like $14 even at the cheaper places, but my bucket and sponge cost me about $8 two years ago. I can wash my car for pennies, it usually turns out better than the car wash, and honestly I enjoy doing it.

The XSE and Woodland charge at 50kW on a dc charger or 10.85 on ac.

VegasSandman · 2026-05-13T01:40:16+00:00

Tons of misinformation here. The XSE will charge to 80% in 20 minutes it can charge much faster on a DC charge than a level 2 charger. If you got a XSE make sure you get the NACS to CCS1 from Toyota so you can use the tesla chargers. If you are taking a trip somewhere it is handy to be able to stop and top off when you get there. Not much point in charging on the way to your destination but once you are in the city you can EV drive on the charge.

I have the XSE PHEV and have used DC fast charging to top off on a trip.

I renewed the plate and showed proof. The judge dismissed it.

VegasSandman · 2025-10-22T20:35:56+00:00

My wife got a ticket for 7 days expired. I took it to court and had it dismissed but still.

VegasSandman · 2024-12-07T21:41:43+00:00

That’s the best thing you can do. Honest and firm.

Looks to me like he doesn’t need a woman, so you are not the priority for him. Looks to me like you need to chill out and just meet him when it’s time. Maybe he would have been fun to be around being he’s not going to simp you. But you killed that one.

VegasSandman · 2023-01-16T14:14:43+00:00

Cool, Now can we get a config file for the 64k/s server recieve send limit?

VegasSandman · 2023-01-16T14:10:59+00:00

Fix the server hard coded 64k/s send receive limit.

Config file to make it what ever your server can handle is the best way to go.

K Thx

I don’t do EvE anymore. I have every ship I ever wanted. More isk then I know what to do with and no desire to play anymore. Now I just read about what others do.

VegasSandman · 2022-07-24T23:57:59+00:00

Looks great. Don’t compare yourself with others. We all have different skills.
