  1. You don't need to mandate every damned thing. Rental property owners will provide chargers on their own as an easy extra incentive for renters, they often provide far more expensive infrastructure like gyms and swimming pools that few use. Currently there just aren't many econobox BEVs available for the peasants, that will change fast in next several yrs. The real problem is the vast expansion in grid capacity required.

  2.  @johnpoldo8817  Thanks for making half my point for me. HOAs, as crap as they tend to be, won't stop anyone from installing a F'n charger that they can't even see, pretty sure of that.

  3. Lucid predicament becoming increasingly clear. Some exceptional engineering and desirable product but lacking the necessary extreme cost discipline.

  4. @@OrwellNailedIt I intend to be grid independent in several yrs as well. Everyday use isn't enough, grid needs to meet peak demand. As a Commifornian paying excessive rates with an increasingly inept corrupt Leftist monopoly, I have little confidence in policies keeping pace. For what it's worth and I'm not clear on the time frame, let's say 15 to 20 yrs, Elon expects 3X increase in total electric demand, presumably mostly from the grid.
