Dealers will love the maintenance revenue from REEVs.
I remember some story about engineering something that doesn't break or need maintenance and they didn't like that because there would be no recurring or replacement revenue.
I lease to keep the cycle going.
Q: were there any "replacement" EV's noticably in the parking lot?

Glass house.
She, herself, didn't believe anything she was saying (tbf though this is typical of most press secretaries) and has now left the Democratic party:

Gas prices expected to surge across California next week
Drivers across California could expect a surge in gas prices just before the July 4 holiday. AAA estimates prices could reach up to $6 per gallon.

For all the talk of Tesla killers over the past decade, this is the first company that I think could really do it:

BMW did this with the i3, a version of the upcoming Scout will do the same thing but automakers who are looking to help with range anxiety are coming out with EREVs, Extended Range EVs. It's different from hybrid as the ICE motor does not provide propulsion power but is a generator to provide electricity to the battery/motor system. So you get the driving dynamics of an electric motor (instant torque, less lag) with the benefit of more range:

They call it a REEV (I like EREV better) but just wondering what the maintenance would be. Brake wear should be like EVs but there is still the oil/lube and other ICE maintenance of a gas engine.
Jeep's new Grand Wagoneer is America's first range-extended EV, and it can drive 500 miles
Jeep’s flagship SUV will be the first range-extended electric vehicle (REEV) in the US. The 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer is...

We're still flooded with them in OC
Q: were there any "replacement" EV's noticably in the parking lot?
None - all Range Rovers, Bentleys, German usual suspects. I think I did see a Taycan now that you mention it - should have a sign on it denoting fastest depreciation in history

I know someone who lives walking distance to beach in Newport area who went from Mercedes S class and GLS to Tesla Model S and X and now back to Mercedes GLS and 911 (after trading in Taycan). It was trendy to go electric a while back but I'm told many of his friends have gone back to high-end combustion engine cars. Might help explain what OCtoSV noticed at Newport Beach CC.

I know someone who went from ICE to EV back to ICE and then realized how inconvenient ICE was and how badly they drove and went back to EV.
Tax credits are not a concern for this crowd.
