How will a broke state like California afford to upgrade the electrical utility grid to handle its all electric goals.
Oh yea......the federal government(ie-you) will pay for it.

Most people will have to add an additional 75 amp service to their house to charge the Damm thing. They forgot to tell you about this.

Porsche has a nice electric car now, but it cost as much as a house. I want to check out the Tesla cyber truck, but I don't know if it's in production yet.

I think solar panels will be optional on the Tesla.

So, will emergency vehicles be electric as well? Boat motors? Construction vehicles? Farm equipment? I just see electric cars being a fad and not the norm or at least I hope so.

I really do like to hear a sound when I turn a key.
