    You're going to love the Cybertruck! I love mine. Also, nice range, near 360 miles per charge, just waiting for the locking diffs. Oh yeah, and I hate steering myself.

    Well, as of today, the parking lot is nicely paved, the stalls are all unwrapped. I excitingly plugged in but only got the blue light, then red. So, I'd say these will likely be switched on very soon!

    NEM3 only applies to solar owners. What applies to everyone and you should be furious about is AB205 which is a severe tax that every customer of PGE, SCE, and SDG&E will pay based on your income. It is not to late to reverse it, contact your local state assembly.
