CA hasn't had rolling brown outs since Enron. Maybe every now and then an area goes down. But nothing systematic like when Enron was gaming the system.

Sounds like most times anymore it's PGE shutting down due to high winds and fire potential due to drought.

Batteries. It'll be pretty cheap and easy. Installs are quick and savings are large and immediate.

It does look like it might have a high center of gravity.

Don't Californians already have some of the highest electric rates in the country? i think they pay the 7th highest rate in the country due to all the stupid regulations the state puts on to ensure electric utilities get a minimum amount of $$ for electricity use.

P.S the cybertruck is ugly AF.

Right but if they lose the revenue from fossil fuels they’ll have to offset it.

I really want to buy one of these, but I don’t know if I can get over how ugly it is.

I like Teslas, my problem with them is they aren't really all that fun to drive. I've driven a Model S and a Model 3 and while the initial acceleration is cool because it launches you like a rocket, there's no real driving experience to them. Which is fine I guess, they aren't really meant to be performance/sports cars(never driven the old Roadster, maybe that one is more fun to drive IDK). I just prefer driving my V8/manual Mustang, it's way more fun. Teslas seem to be a car to get where you are going as economically as possible, which is not the only reason why I drive, I drive because I like the act of driving.

It'd be really neat if they ever came out with a manual transmission model Tesla, but that seems to be against the vision of the company so I don't see that happening.

The cybertruck is dead:


"Super Powers Only Electric Can Deliver
F-Series, America’s best-selling truck for 44 years1, charges into the future with the F-150 Lightning, elevated by all the advantages of electrification and packed with connected technology. F-150 Lightning is a powerhouse that delivers a targeted 563 horsepower and 775 lb.-ft. of torque – the most torque of any F-150 ever – an exhilarating drive, a high-tech frunk, and the ability to power your home if needed.

Advanced Tech Now – to Guide You into the Future
F-150 Lightning offers an ingenious array of connected, intelligent features that improve over time via over-the-air software updates; FordPass app provides seamless access to charging stations and remote vehicle controls; available BlueCruise offers true hands-free driving on the highway, while enhanced Pro Power Onboard powers job sites or campsites.

No Question: Built Ford Tough Comes Standard
Powered by dual in-board motors and with standard 4x4, F-150 Lightning can take on rough terrain with Built Ford Tough durability and capability. Along with a high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body, a new independent rear suspension delivers improved ride comfort, while an all-new frame uses the strongest steel ever put in an F-150 frame and supports a maximum 2,000-pound payload and up to 10,000-pound towing capacity."

And it looks like a pickup....



I'm no ford fan but this is much more appealing than the cybertruck.

That being said the cyber truck isn't necessarily dead. There are some SERIOUS Fanbois around. Just see this thread.
