Tesla is not worth a Penny. Bought a Brand New “ Y” and sold it 6 weeks later. Nothing but service issues and no help from Tesla.

CA's mandate is (yet another) disaster waiting to happen. Presently, 2% of the their cars are electric and despite this low number, last summer the state had to urge their owners not to charge their cars because the power grid was at full capacity. Planned wind and solar power generation plant development will not have the capacity to support a 100% EV policy. Nothing new here though; politicians have always been much more interested in virtue-signaling than planning and execution. Probably figure they will be out of their present positions by the time the s**t hits the fan.

Last Spring Tesla Car Club was at Sumter Landing and free.
Sounds like they want to go more upscale.

There was a classic 47 pickup truck fire on Buena Visa that the fire dept put out gas powered not battery

How much do you charge for others to watch your grass grow? What's the address?

Another Grifter on the loose! Pathetic!

The $5 fee covers their charging fee.

Anyone thinking they are saving the environment buy driving an EV should read this article about lithium mining . All EV use lithium batteries.

It is for the fire department to stand by just in case a battery explodes..

[tuccillo]

They don't explode. If the battery is compromised in an accident, it may experience thermal runaway and start to burn. They can be difficult to put out. It is not really much different than a gas car that has the fuel tank compromised in an accident and starts to burn. EV fires are less common than gas car fires but are more problematic to extinguish. The Chevy Bolt is a bit of an outlier. Bad batteries from LG Chem that all needed to be replaced.
