Agreed. This is where CalState is a better value over UC for certain majors not just for less cost but practical education.

Probably is. We are not going to shift to EVs overnight but 5-10 years from now will look different.

You know as much about EVs as morekaos. Do you think all Teslas cost $100k too?

Walmart and possibly Costco going EV: https://electrek.co/2024/05/07/tesla-semi-hands-two-more-big-customers/ EVs still coming... tick tock.

PV is premium South Bay area... what would something like this list for in Irvine like in Quail Hill or the Turtles?

Based on the number of new restaurants that have been opening up... I'm thinking that Koreans are tilting the Asian index in their favor. I mean, there has always been a large Korean population in Irvine (just check out how many churches), but there are 5 Korean grocery stores (outnumbers the...

You forget that Tesla had zero tax credits for a number of years. Additionally... not every vehicle qualifies for $7500 due to battery composition and build origin. In fact, the new IRA is so restrictive, a larger percentage of EVs do not qualify for any sale credit at all (most of the non-US...

Uh... tax credit for EVs is not for wealthy people depending on your definition of wealthy. There are income restrictions on the IRA credit.

Just like Big Oil? :)

The 3 For Me was always a good deal at Chili's. That's why the Irvine location closing is sad. :(

Telsa even worse... Elon fired his whole Supercharging department. I am worried about his tactics.

Fisker probably dead... Magna not going to make their Ocean anymore: https://insideevs.com/news/718548/magna-ends-fisker-ocean-production/ Electrify America doing almost double their output last year: https://insideevs.com/news/718270/electrify-america-2023-charging-stats/ Despite the...

I'm assuming UCLA is their college of choice? I think this is a good move, free IVC tuition for 2 years and no housing cost (if you're not kicking them out :) ). A fellow irvinehomeowner has done this with 2 of their kids, one to UCLA and the other to UCI... seems to be working out for them...

That's why I say to buy Rivian whenever you poop on it. :)
