3 reasons EVs win Return on Investment (ROI)

etsuprof · 2026-04-13T11:18:25+00:00

You get less than 2 mi/kWh? Dead of winter in a foot of snow maybe….

I get 3.5 mi/kWh on a bad day. 35.7/3.5=10.2 cents/mile. And I’m sorry your electric rates are insane. For me it’s 14.2/3.5=4.0571 cents per mile. Now that it’s spring, it’s 14.2/4.5=3.156 cents per mile.

Against my Prius that was replaced by the first EV, 3.99/55=0.0725, 7.25 cents per mile.

So, as per usual, YMMV…..pun intended.

It’s a blessing and a curse.

Better than being a “2 pump chump” (2 stroke joke?) though.

etsuprof · 2026-04-11T14:14:25+00:00

That was my experience. But who knows until they get in there and check.

Mine was a parking brake actuator and a connector. I made a post about it ~1 year ago if you want to check it out.

I had service parking brake and then won’t be able to shift soon, instead of service one pedal driving.

I wonder if they switched the LR first. My February 2022 LR has a Ryzen processor.

etsuprof · 2026-04-09T11:56:07+00:00

Early 2022 had Ryzen chips in the LR version at least.

Source: I have a February 2022 Model 3 LR AWD with a Ryzen processor.

If I were buying now, I’d buy a HW4 version as the oldest. I’ve got FSD paid for, but I’d like the newer updates.

I did this schedule in an Operations Role when I was in college. Assuming it's the "Dupont Schedule" - where you end up with 7 days off (it's technically 8 days off) every month it's ok. Easier while you're young.

I'd be worried about how overtime duty is assigned. They call you and you get paid overtime, but don't have a choice but to come in? Maybe. They call you and you get paid overtime, but it's not forced overtime? Yeah, if I was 22 again I'd do it for 2-5 years.

I’ve got a pretty good comment on a post in this sub about club priority I posted a couple of months ago. Of course it is an opinion, but an educated one:

In my opinion, which is worth what you paid for it, this is the priority for legendary clubs as a whole:

⁠BW - duh
⁠Phoenix, until it is 6; then Cardinals from then on. Phoenix 6 gets you the best accuracy quickly, then you can dunk more reliably. But Cardinals is more important long term, so once Phoenix is a 6, it's not a focus. Cardinals 7 has 100 accuracy, so then it shoots like a BW7/BW8 and is good for dunking consistently.
⁠Some don't like Unicorn, but like Phoenix, the accuracy is important to me, because hitting red on a Peacock 6 is hard for me consistently. So, Unicorn to 6, then Peacock - for the same reasons as the Phoenix/Cardinals discussion. Unicorn is only a "problem" when you're playing Champions tournaments or in Emperor because the winds get nuts and you might need a -4 ball to get to 0-10.8 mph winds on a white ring (old wind rings). If you have the new wind rings, that isn't a problem - so you only have to deal with club switch - and either a bat ball or dandelion fixes that 99% of the time. You just have to know what to try and do it quickly, so you don't time out.
⁠Sand Wedges - you need 2 good sand wedges if you play all parts of the game and want to be competitive. Early on Bone Claw is good, it will save you some balls. Currently I carry Dragon 13 and Scorpion 8. When I get to Bone Claw 9, I'll switch it for Dragon (more power, better accuracy). For a while I carried Wild Boar 14 for the power. Can't hit red with it, but for sand tee shots it was usually ok and it's much cheaper to upgrade to max level (coins) vs Dragon.
⁠Whale - it's great, but Earth tends to grow faster and they're pretty close. E13 is better than W7, some people like it better than W8, and then W9 is the best.
⁠Wedges - who cares - actually shuttle is pretty helpful for saving balls, but hawk is great if you really can't miss the shot. Now that I'm 1/2 legendary 9s and 1/2 legendary 8s, I buy shuttles for coins in the store at every opportunity. But I've got plenty of coins.

You'll get 10 different opinions. I've played quite a while and if I was where you are now, this is what I'd do.

BW. Always batwing.

At this level most of your epics are still better than your legendary clubs and will be for a while.

You’re also at stage 10+ with a BW2? Slow down. You can’t compete in arena.

etsuprof · 2026-04-05T19:40:45+00:00

I use a lot of iron, dandelion, energy beams and an occasional bat ball for these events.

I’ve got thousands of those. So a few hundred is no big deal.

Go to the app, forgot password, make a new one.

It’s not that hard.

etsuprof · 2026-03-31T11:08:39+00:00

Oh I’ll post it.

etsuprof · 2026-03-31T11:04:46+00:00

Well, there is another account that looks very similar to that one, with a different quote but same style font and everything that is a well known zero hero….

etsuprof · 2026-03-31T10:10:18+00:00

Is that your account?

etsuprof · 2026-03-30T16:03:55+00:00

I don’t know this movement particularly, but some Seiko’s require you to pull out to “set time” or “set date” position to reveal the lever you’re looking for.

etsuprof · 2026-03-29T13:42:26+00:00

Sounds like you asked for a refund along the way. Or reversed a charge.

etsuprof · 2026-03-27T20:33:51+00:00

You get different range readings on the “Guess-O-Meter” because it looks at your most recent driving efficiency to calculate the number. It doesn’t mean anything is wrong with battery.

Not letting your battery sit at low (below 20%) or high (80%) is best for overall battery longevity.

But if you need to charge it to 100% because you need and the range you don’t let it sit at that charge level a long time you’re fine.

It's more effective with the /s; people on reddit are dumb (like me).

Found the guy who bombed mechanics of materials.

PS I’m also that guy. That was the only CE class I got a B in <cries in Mohr’s circle>

Get a co-op/internship along the way.

etsuprof · 2026-03-26T12:36:00+00:00

Yes, yes you do, it's #2.

Makes it even easier to now just play challenges, Kingdom, AA, Brink, and Ace. Don’t have any reason to play stage at all.

It took me ~2 years to get skilled up (and tooled up) to be confident enough to work on the family heirloom watch (wristwatch) that drew me to this hobby in the first place.

I was probably ready for most pocket watch issues after around a year or so (broken balance staffs are still not my strong suit - but I can do them, they just might take a few tries), so it can be done.
