There is an older thread on this:
https://www.talkirvine.com/index.php/topic,12152.0.html
Since a hot topic here is solar, I figure it's partly because you either drive or are planning to drive an EV or plug-in.
Based on what I see in Irvine, seems like most people are getting Teslas, and while the Model 3 starting price is closer to option 2 (< $40k), I think most Model 3s that are bought are closer to option 1 (over $50k).
I'm still in the plug-in hybrid camp as I like the option to still be able to drive on T-Rex fuel if I don't have Ben Franklin juice available.
Once my kids are old enough to drive, most likely we will get them a pure EV so they don't have to worry about gas (just like they don't know what a corded phone with a dial is).
For myself, I'm still looking for a bigger plug-in like the Pacifica (plus it's a minivan), but what I've been looking at lately is the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV SUV. I really like the Model X but it's actually small for me and over my 99%er budget.
What are you thinking about getting?
(And sorry, no non plug-in hybrids in this thread, has to have a battery or some other fuel source)
