    I live in CA and have had one power outage in the last 3 years.

    Also, that’s a model Y, which starts at $45k and maxes out at $55k before the $7.5k EV tax rebate. Add 8K if you think full self driving is a good idea for some reason.

      I live here as well. Power works just fine. Only been here for about 7 months but still. Occasionally when it’s 110° they’ll pre-cool my house with my thermostat then raise the temp during peak hours but that’s just smart. For all its problems, California isn’t as bad as the rep it gets.

      Had a friend from back home (Midwest) giving me shit for living in a dystopian hell hole and paying more taxes for the privilege. I pointed out he pays more taxes than I do plus I was hiking in the mountains last week because I got tired of going to the beaches.

      I’ve had zero in the last 9 or so years of living in California.

      Literally zero.
