How Far Can the 2024 Lexus RX 450h+ Plug-in Hybrid Drive on Electricity ALONE? 

You're absolutely right

Oop! My fault, you’re exactly right

best warranty

Especially when the Model Y starts at 43k and is eligible for the tax credit.

Name the better choices...and 75k seems steep but we are living in the age of aggressive inflation so it's not like lexus isn't setting a fair price for the value of the product they put out...anything else tht competes with this at a lower price is because they are doing just tht trying to compete and steal sales.. but toyota nor lexus need to do tht... they kno the product they have and will remain consistent....just like any of the germans...thing is the germans won't last as long.

That is why I QUIT all the traditional car companies and went 100% Tesla. I pay exactly what I thought I am going to pay- also it took only 20 minutes at the Tesla store to purchase my 24 Model Y Performance (95% of the process was completed on the app). I paid 42,890 out the door for it, and had my FSD suite transferred to it! You cannot even get a RAV4 Prime for that much.

Good point.

dealer Service loaners is the way to go! Bought one years ago great savings low miles and they do the certified warranty. They get dealers from Lex and then when the purchase is made more deal.

If they're not the same price or more than new...

All PHEVs are financially nonsensical compared to standard hybrids. If you use the full battery 5 days a week, you'll net a savings between $30 and $50 per month. Even less if the standard hybrid equivalent gets better MPG than the plug-in.

How much are you paying for gasoline? How much for electric? Based on my location, it is a 2 year break even factor. Which I have exceeded. ​@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444.

TFL has a subreddit? Why am I just now learning of this?

The hybrid system of Lexus is better

@@cia9419 Yes, which is why I said that the Lexus is less thirsty outside of the electric range.

In Hybrid Mode (HY), it naturally charges like a regular hybrid but if you turn it to Charge (CHG) mode, it will charge “faster” but you will notice a slight degradation in acceleration while in CHG mode, and you can definitely hear the brake regen more.

Yes you can there is special button inside if you need to charge battery from running gasoline engine j

I think the car thermometer was still reading from being in the garage.

Sadly, Americans use the very flawed Fahrenheit system, instead of the proper Celsius system.

I agree with metric vs imperial but could do without Celsius 😂

@@Digikidthevoiceofreasonabsolutely incorrect, while metric is superior, Celsius makes absolutely no sense. 🙂

@@Icayn Celsius is superior and makes perfect sense.

I know, it's not in the same class, but my 2017 Volt gets more than that most days. :) I just expect more from progress. I get back and forth to work with no gas and charge up overnight. Now if Lexus could give me say, 50 or 70 miles, lots of luxury, and decent performance, I'd consider that progress.

⁠@@hyperuTechI get 47 out my 22 rav4 prime and get 41+ combined

Branden left because Roman blew $160,000 on a Porsche 911 for himself, but was too cheap to give him a raise after a year of making videos. Why do you think half the people working at TFL are basically kids lol? This was all over Reddit

In 2016 the Lexus RX started its move towards Toyota product lines as today’s RX is just a rebranded plush Toyota Highlander, 1980s GM style. The Lexus NX is a rebranded RAV4.

The plug in hybrid system might be very similar. The Highlander is more like the Lexus TX... At least the Grand Highlander anyway

@@icare7151 Thank you for pointing this out. My knowledge of the Lexus lineup is clearly deficient!

RAV 4 prime is similar for less

It is not too much money it’s a Lexus luxury suv … what are you expecting? Y’all just are mad about prices these days and I get it but don’t just say things out of feels… it’s a luxury good the price makes sense. A

@@justinborysenko3885it is not similar it’s nice , but it’s not a Lexus I’ve driven both. Yes it’s up to the consumer what is worth what to them , but honestly it’s a luxury good just don’t buy it.

try a GM EV or hybrid sticker shocker is crazy.

Too* much

There is about 2,000 R4P on Autotrader and some are below MSRP.

No it’s more than enough, y’all really think things are magic 🪄. You have ridiculous and non scientific unrealistic expectations, calm down. I won’t respond.

Worth every penny at 75 grand? Ehh...

No it is not!

Be less poor if you think 70K is super expensive.

​@@electrikoptik same car rav4 prime only 44k, 78k is way overpriced

In your opinion. And based on what math and scientific data or just based on your anecdotal feelings?

@@LafemmebearMusic I have owned every configuration, a PHEV is more problematic than a regular hybrid. It also is going to be heavier, and requires you to install a level 2 at your house. A standard hybrid is cheaper to buy, gets better fuel economy with the engine running, and they tend to have larger fuel tanks for long trips. A PHEV is the worst of both worlds for many people, their use case is someone who drives less than the EV range most days, and occasionally uses it for longer trips. When my daily commute was 30 miles a PHEV was an awesome choice, driving it 150 miles a day I found that I was using 2 separate drivetrains to achieve worse fuel economy than our hybrid did, and the hybrid cost way less. All that said everything you like about the EV side of a PHEV a regular EV does better, and all the things you like about the ICE side of a PHEV a hybrid does better, a PHEV has a very narrow use case where it makes sense.

Sure, though most people these days don’t drive too much daily especially since Covid. PHEVs can still make good sense just depends on the individual and their driving needs.

The point is most people do drive less than 40 miles before returning home , when in 2 hours your recharged . I only use fuel on long trips which are infrequent. A full EV requires me to stop for a significant chunk of time on a long trip. PHEV is a great option if you mostly do short trips from home. The Car is brilliant to drive etc BTW.

@@adrianlovett3483 I have owned PHEVs, everything I like about them I like more about a regular EV. If 70k is a price you are willing to pay you could get an awesome EV for that money, in that price range you get something that does 0-60 in less than 5 seconds and charges to 80% in less than 25 minutes. When you can recover 150-200 miles of range in the time it takes for a bathroom break pumping gas is only marginally more convent/faster.

A nice idea. But the emissions are killing real people and the oil buying feeds dictators.

Sad part is the government kinda can force them. unless all of the car manufacturers join together to stand against the stupid climate agenda the government won’t stop

@@crt5866 But people die from the emissions. Haven't you experienced smog?

Boy be quiet 😂😂😂😂 hybrids by Toyota… aren’t reliable? Is that your weird argument 😅. Just over screaming your feels … go off sis

@@Harrythehunthese guys don’t care about, they want gasoline until they can’t breathe… not their problem

Complete opposite. PHEV is mostly EV for daily but hybrid on long trips.

I feel like PHEV makes the MOST sense

You’re totally wrong there bud.

They make amazing sense. The best of both worlds.

I think people are waking up to what doesn’t make sense. Check. Hint, nEVer…..
