Left Coast Or Right Coast -- July 1, 2023

Locator: 44865INV. 

Flashback: refresh your memory. Take a look at this 1960s fixer-upper on the market for $35 million; on a lake that you may not be able to reach in the winter; and whose water level may be so low in the spring, the lake can't float your boat until late June. The house:

Plastic awning -- note the lights. At the link one can see the hummingbird feeder.

Pre-fab?

 

 

Now compare that offering with this offering (see below) on the other side of the country where socialists live and where Phil Jackson travels to see the tree leaves change color in the autumn. 

 

The "above" offering, $35 million; the offering shown below, $26 million.

So much more at the link.

The EV Of The Future -- June 26, 2023

Locator: 45073EVS. 

See: FF-91 Future.

From the linked article:

Faraday Future has officially launched its long delayed FF 91 electric vehicles, including a limited edition called the Futurist Alliance that carries a pretty hefty price tag of $309,000.

That's even more expensive than the $249,000 Lucid Air Sapphire, a "ultra-high-performance" EV with similar specs. The company's FF 91 2.0 Futurist model will sell for the same price as the Air Sapphire at $249,000, while the base FF 91 2.0, which is expected to be the most affordable of the three, doesn't have pricing yet.

Both the FF91 2.0 Futurist Alliance and Futurist models are powered by three electric motors and can go from 0 to 60mph in 2.27 seconds. The 1050 horsepower vehicles can go as fast as 155 mph, and their 142kWh battery can sustain a range of approximately 381 miles — shorter than the range of a Tesla Model S but longer than a Model Y's. They both have the same "zero gravity" seats that have a large recline angle for comfort, as well as 27-inch rear passenger displays.

And people think the Apple Vision Pro is expensive at $3,500.
