    Agree neither the grid nor gasoline distribution can be relied upon, however,
    - you can keep 10 gallons of gas in your shed
    - the grid is susceptible to doomsday scenarios--months-long outages due to solar flare or cascading failure--while with fuel, shortages would not last so long

    The self-reliant American consumer is just looking for assurances that fit into their idea of disaster preparedness. So practically speaking, I predict that generator compatibility will be a common question for Cybertruck, and solving it will be very impressive to potential buyers. However, the first 500,000 or so buyers will be EV fans who won't care.
