Ouch, don't want to do a TOU plan? Mine is like $0.45/kWh during peak times when I'm usually not home, ~$0.21 during partial off-peak when I'm most active and ~$0.125 during off-peak when I charge my car.

Casey Neistat review of the Model 3 Performance
I believe 10c/kWh is what I'm billed after my solar panels were removed for roof replacement.
Don't know yet if the night time charging would be lower, trying it this month.
To be fair, for M3 size of the car, the efficiency of an ICE car should be between 30-40mpg. My stick shift 2001 Corolla used to be ~40mpg.
So, assuming 35mpg average for class and with M3 getting close to 4 miles per kWh, you need to pay (gas price per gallon)*4/35 for equality.
Looks like with the current declines in gas prices we have $1.80/gallon. So, 21c/kWh is an equal rate.
However, to be more precise we need to adjust for road maintenance tax, which I paid separately during EV registration - $50/year and which roughly equals to what was paid for my prior ICE usage during the course of a year out of gas road tax.
Federal road tax is a fixed 18.4c/gallon.
Therefore, subtracting this we get $1.616*4/35=18.5c/kWh of an equal charging rate.
I.e. I'm saving 1-(10/18.5)=46% on electricity (actually more, since my former car was ~30mpg).
The gas prices are quite low though currently and if you are moving from a larger vehicle to a M3, your savings would be higher.

havent looked into this too much and $2b would be great but seems rosy at first glance hope you’re right!!!
If those lasers are powerful enough to damage camera censors, I don’t understand how the hell they are allowed to operate on public roads. Invisible to human eyes doesn’t mean harmless, in fact most dangerous lasers are the invisible ones since you don’t know you’re starring at it.
Just for comparison we pay about 11 cents (Canadian) per kWh in BC. Typical bill for us including charging two EV’s and air conditioning in the summer is under 90 bucks for two months. All hydro power in this province.
We have an efficient home. Heat and hot water are both natural gas...also cheap.

Camera sensors are more susceptible to burning out than the retina, partially because of the effects of lenses: ILDA - Laser damage to cameras and sensors
Just an FYI that you most certainly can damage a camera sensor taking a photo of the sun without proper filters. Relative size of the sun in the frame (ie., focal length of the camera lens) and shutter speed are two of the primarily determining factors in whether or not damage occurs.
Elon has been missing from Twitter for >24 hours now.
So probably he is either busy cooking the book, or took the day off.
Either way it’s bullish sign to me.

This is why they tell you not to photograph a solar eclipse with your phone camera btw
The damage can also occur before the sensor...
Photos of Cameras and Lenses That Got Destroyed by the Solar Eclipse
The problem with staring at an eclipse is that your eyes don't react to the UV energy that is cooking them whereas when the sun is not blocked, the blink reflex kicks in.

But I thought we were supposed to stare at it with squinty
Getting OT:
Probably a good quarter of the landscape pictures I've ever taken have the sun in them.
Lol. I got a 14 day ban for posting too many good news stories, though not a single one from Electrek (bears claim otherwise).
Cliffy, the officious mod there is basically a Tesla short, but claims to be neutral and even handed
Just think how many security/traffic/red light/etc. cameras they can damage by driving around...

I agree with you at least one of the mod is a Tesla short.

Interesting. The short interest goes up when the stock price is down.
What we have observed is the stock price often falls when it’s up, and often climbs when it’s down. If short interest jumped when the stock was up, I could understand that, a fair and reasonable position to take.
But at Christmas short interest climbed as the stock price dipped under 300. They are still betting on and hoping for bankruptcy, rather than trying to pick the fall. Madness.
