Seems news about gas prices is big now because of some pipe line being shut down in the east coast? I'm not sure how CA is affected but I did recall seeing one gas station in the LA area at $4.60 / gallon, which is the highest I seen, within the last few days of this post. But there is news where its $9 gallon in the east part of the USA.
There are huge lines at gas stations, I didn't see any in So. Cal but I guess its mainly the east coast. Ironic because some people are turned off by Tesla because they think charging takes too long, but then a gas shortage happens they wait in much longer lines. If you can have your own charging at home, which you don't share with the public, I guess its a huge advantage than waiting at a public gas station.
I think those people waiting in long lines at Costco gas stations are wasting time to save like 50 cents per gallon. Most of them drive newer cars like BMW / Mercedes, who likely could afford a Tesla. I know EV's upfront cost is what prevents most people from buying EVs, but what about the people driving $40k cars and waiting at Costco gas stations just to save some money? I think a full charge, which may be equal to a full gas tank, is about $20 in CA?
I like charging at home because I never have to stop at a gas station and most my long commutes from OC to LA / OC to SD can make it back round trip.
