Asada tacos are what I'm having for dinner; everything is ready sitting in the fridge. A quick sear and Feliz July 4th :)

The chili is made and resting, the beans (what are left of them) are holding and tonight will be chili dogs and baked beans. Although I'm NEVER cooking beans by this technique again, massive flatulence! Back to just tossing them in my olla, fuck pre-soaking.

I'm celebrating American Independence today. I own a part of every Tesla out there, I loaned Elon $2000 years ago and I haven't asked for it back

You placed your deposit for a model 3 over 3 years ago correct? You were also gonna get an equity loan to remodel your kitchen for your wife. I know you'll never own a model 3, but did you at least get your wife the new kitchen?
 
Got up this morning at 3am while it's still somewhat cool and finally changed the plugs and wires on my truck, still was pretty hot it was 82 degrees in my garage this morning about 70% humidity, better than waiting till the sun come up and it's 100 degrees in my garage lol

Went to the local supermarket this morning and bought homemade Porter craft beer bratwurst and homemade macaroni salad with cheddar and bacon from the deli

I'm getting ready to go to the casino for a little bit tonight where it's nice and air conditioned, I'll play some roulette or maybe run $20 through a slot machine. I feel like having a vodka and cranberry juice to sip on, not getting drunk tonight I have to work early tomorrow

Those umbilici sort of put paid to "independence". I consider the small capacity and long, long charge times to be no small inconvenience.

The real problem is that I cannot make an economic argument for owning a Tesla. The 19" Long Range model with not many options is $90 000.
And (let's strip away the artifice and indirection of power subsidies for e-car users) the local marginal rate per kWh is $0.51.
85 kWh at that rate (and if you need juice you need it at once)is $43 bucks, and that'll take me less far (real-life range at 70mph is 323 miles for the 19" Long-Range Sedan model S) than $32 of fuel (and 6 minutes of my time to fill it) will take my Honda Fit which gets me 44 mpg local and 46-48mpg highway.

Granted, you won't wanna be stuck behind me.

But at which point does the Tesla compete effectively?

Also, you know the earthquake that hit SoCal today? Imagine the utilities are hosed for a week. What's the plan B then?
