All the PGE customers are forced to bear the costs associated with losses from fires caused by PGE in rural areas. If each city formed a municipal utility company, our prices would all be in line with SMUD since we’d only pay for the risks associated with ourselves. I’m guessing energy prices in the foothills would absolutely skyrocket. But I’d rather have cheaper power for myself.

I think as far as Zigbee support for a three way dimmer, you’re looking at the best option. I will also note that the dimmer on the Inovelli is amazing. It’s capable of setting my can light LEDs at a dimness setting I didn’t know was possible after using some standard Home Depot dumb dimmer switch.

Pricey, but worth it IMO.

I think most people only have shit fast food near them as a convenience food. I traveled through the south a lot last year and realized that most of the country must just be massive suburbs separated by strip malls and fast food buildings. Even brand new developments are all banks and Culver’s or some crap.

It’s a stark contrast to urbanized areas. We get so much more in options for convenience food that I don’t even consider fast food as existing.

Are you fucking 12? You’re comparing the shit base model lease on their splash page to a model S? Don’t be a dummy. A M3 lease starts at $300. If you want to be intellectually dishonest, go lie to your mom about wiping your ass.

I also don’t know why I’m trying to explain myself to someone who has clearly never had a job, but there’s a really good reason you don’t see Lucid’s on the road everywhere. They’re overpriced and overhyped. I’m sorry if you bought some SPAC stock and got shafted early on, but good luck!👍

The downvotes without comments to support the criticism speaks volumes.

I think people here have this dream picture of China or something but that country seems to get the shit end of both sticks when it comes to housing. Expensive housing driven by a capitalist development framework and no guarantees to support to investment into the real estate you buy. That’s why Chinese citizens with money actually invest in real estate outside of China.

Just curious - what happens after that 70 years is up? I get to keep my property in perpetuity and pass it down generations as long as I pay my taxes. Is there any such guarantee in China?

Please tell me which other EVs can power a house? Having a simple inverter built in is dramatically different than having the ability to power a transfer switch input to your electrical panel replacing a generator. The F150 lightning can power your house. Your other evs cannot. I’m calling bullshit on you since you obviously know jack shit and don’t actually own anything.

I had to google it. Got it, sure that’s a niche use case that the car doesn’t have. The only EV that I know advertises this feature is the Ford F150 lightning. Absolutely stunning sales on the car really showcase how useful that feature is. /s.

But ya the car has a 120v adaptor. Good enough for most people camping.

People that are buying the stickers are rubes. I don’t care what you think and anyone with an ounce of confidence shouldn’t either.

I’m convinced most of the anti Tesla rhetoric is coming from people who frankly are not Tesla (or any new car) customers anyway. If you’re actually in the market for an EV and want to compare range, charging network, dashboard UI+phone app quality (yes, all standard automakers are shit at software development, maybe hire people in SV), cost, vehicle options, maintenance + repair options (Tesla service isn’t run by the garbage dealership model and is actually good service and fairly priced) — then Tesla has been a clear winner for many years.

Feel free to go back to your dealership and waste half a day trying to buy a car. Every one else is still so far behind and if you get it, you get it.
