    How ever you want to say it is fine with me but the reality is that the utilities in California are making billions so the fact they did not take care of their infrastructure is why in this state in 2017 we had massive fires do to the above. Monopolies out of control with no oversite.

    What's your next EV after Tesla?

    Can't log in via app or connect with car...
