Looks like it's true. The power companies lobbied for this.Any chance you "mis-remembered" again? Find the link to your assertion, and I'll petition the mods to delete this post.

In that case OP got the numbers wrong.Other way round. The earth rotates West to East. That is why the sun rises in the East and sets in the West
Yes, multiple times. The exchanges were sad if not comical: "We cannot get involved with new construction until the builder is no longer involved and turns the property over to you." Seriously??? No builder is going to turn over a new construction home without a leak free roof covering! So we were supposed to pay for the builder's new roof before we could get any information at all about the economies of using Tesla's solar tiles??? Who exactly is the current ringmaster of the TE circus?Have you tried emailing Tesla? Should be a Tesla Energy email/contact who can help you.
Why do both links in the link you provided show "Page not found" ? Leesburg Electric appears to be a small, municipally owned electric system. Please provide a citation of the Leesburg city ordinance and the specific section that states the restriction you are citing. Thanks!@brian45011
Florida for one
edit:
In Florida, USA, it is Illegal to be disconnected from the grid....
no grid, no can live there

Provide the wording of the ordinance and I'll concede there is one municipality in FL that ignores the constitution.Looks like it's true. The power companies lobbied for this.
Is it too difficult to provide the wording in any ordinance, statute or other mandatory requirement by any governmental entity? Why keep citing secondary/tertiary anecdotal accounts rather than the primary source?@brian45011
read the _entire_ 2 pages of the main link which is _titled_

21 months ago, and seem to go to newspapers (btw, my picture is almost 1/2 century old)
It is also dealing with FPL, Florida Power & Light whom are "pita's" for dealing with solar
(note FPL in the video and referenced)
(video)
If my electrical producer was FPL and not LCEC (lee county electric coop) i would be __highly__ __illegal__
since im making about 200% -225% of my needs and usage, way over FPL's 115%
View attachment 422519
So YES, it's ___ILLEGAL__ to not be connected to the grid in Florida.
No Grid connection, NO residency permit
Google is your friend
It’s my understanding also that Florida requires connecting to the grid and requires an electrical check valve to protect surges to the grid.Is it too difficult to provide the wording in any ordinance, statute or other mandatory requirement by any governmental entity? Why keep citing secondary/tertiary anecdotal accounts rather than the primary source?
Not all localities put their local codes online, believe it or not.Is it too difficult to provide the wording in any ordinance, statute or other mandatory requirement by any governmental entity? Why keep citing secondary/tertiary anecdotal accounts rather than the primary source?
According to the reports I read, *some localities in Florida* require connecting to the grid; *not all*. But there were specific cases where a homeowner had built an entirely off-grid house and couldn't get a certificate of occupancy without connecting to the grid.It’s my understanding also that Florida requires connecting to the grid and requires an electrical check valve to protect surges to the grid.
Zero chance. And no, I'm not going to bother to dig up years-old newspaper articles from random localities in Florida. People who had built off-grid houses were getting certificates of occupancy refused for not connecting to the electric grid.Any chance you "mis-remembered" again?

All they needed from me (and I assume others) was proof that I have vehicle insurance for some other vehicle, which with USAA also covers rentals or new cars for a limited period.This sounds like when I told Tesla I needed a VIN to get insurance (no insurance carrier will issue a policy without a car on it) and them saying "Sure, we'll give you a VIN as soon as you show us a copy of your insurance"... um...
they were still pulling this BS as recently as this year, according to someone on the Model 3 forum
Spectacularly ridiculous isn't it?
Ha... stupid fast. I needed to do 15 minutes of shopping at San Diego's Fashion Valley, and I thought I might as well charge because it made parking easier. It's a long, skinny mall. I got the "charging done" message and by the time I got back I'd incurred waiting fees! It was much faster than I was expecting!I know the NYT article is becoming old news at this point, but I happened to have a road trip for work and did my best to provide a real world rebuttal of their reporting here:

V2 superchargers after the recent software updates are stupid fast, it has never been easier to road trip in a Tesla.
