EREV looks like a good idea on paper…but the problem is always the execution. Pretty good article below. https://www.wardsauto.com/news/erevs-are-perfect-for-the-u-s-market-or-maybe-not/798917/

if EVs can do all of that, then ICE cars become dinosaurs. right now I see there are pro and cons, depending on one's need and preference. The most typical setup is having an EV as a commuter car and charge at home, while having an ICE SUV for the shopping errands and family road trips.

Just bought a Tesla with the intention to use FSD to chauffeur me back and forth from work. Sorry MK.

no Dodger fans here? one of the best word series ever.

violent left is the correct word. BLM has done more far property damages vs J6. and it is the left who keeps saying RACIST/FACISTS for anyone they disagree with and there are countless examples of left wing politicians explicitly inciting violence in their speeches.

since we don't quality for the tax credits, we never considered EV.

anything but more housing. Irvine is overcrowded and congested as is.

only in SoCal though. Tech bros in the Bay Area are still buying houses and left and right with their AI inflated RSUs

you don't really know what's going on behind the scenes. The very best friends can criticize each other and the irony is, Trump is not a dictator so he has to compromise and initiate a bill that can be passed by the Congress.

if you are buying a $6 million home, $360,000 in bank account is peanuts, as you should have N.W. at least 3X of that. If your N.W. is 20 million, do you really care about $360k? also, the floor plans are more less the same for all the new houses for the last 10 years in Irvine. I don't think...

I read there are about 1000 to 2000 houses by Zhejiang businessmen alone. so 150 millions seems way too low.

if you are a buyer, you don't like the FCBs as they help make the price high. but once you own, you appreciate them because they help your equity appreciate and if they are your neighbor and their houses sit empty, you would also appreciate that extra peace and quietness since the new houses are...

I read it somewhere Irvine is where Chinese exporters (merchants from Zhejiang for example) park their US dollars but there is some re-balancing of assets going on now so the demand is not as much as before.

well, they had a chance to leave on their own. FAFO

that's quite small for plan 1...those two doors in the entry hall way open to what, a view of the side wall with 4 feet set back?

these have views and the lot size are decent for Irvine new home standards?

quality of life in Irvine is really going downhill with all the overbuilding.
