No narritive needed beyond “it’s California”. This on the heels of the tiered rating for time of use rates for solar customers.

Really sorry. Wrong forum. Can mods move this to Off Topic.

Lots of enthusiasts of electric cars for track use here, it's relevant

Yea, I thought about that. There were about 5 EVs out at the track a few weeks ago - All Teslas, 3 Model 3's, a Y and a Plaid. No hook ups but one thought about using the RV chargers to recharge his Model 3. This is at Buttonwillow where if you're from CA know it's in the middle of building a new loop. They have Tesla Super Chargers going near that new loop at the entrance. Don't know if it's meant for EVs at the track or commuters on the I-5, but they're going in. Also of note in this same vein is that Ford and now Chevrolet, announced they will use the Tesla Charging hardware to make it more uniform across the platforms.

I think the topic is relevant as well. Leave it here multi. It will gain traction...

And they wonder why millions of their residents keep fleeing for less insane states...

Actually only about 225k left California last year…. On the other hand, if I hadn’t purchased my home 30 years ago I would consider leaving…

That's part of the plan. If enough people leave the grid can support the electric cars that are being mandated.

Plus the year before. Plus the year before that. Plus the year before that. And so on.

Plus this year

The have also introduced legislation that if you leave CA you still have to pay CA taxes for the next 10 years along with an exit penalty.

California has had 2 negative population growth years since 1900, which were 2021 and 2022.

Upsides/downsides...
Sold our Bay Area home, relocated north.
Sweet house, 5+ beautiful acres, room for horses for my wife.
30x40 fully equipped shop for me.
Enough leftover cash to retire. Very little that I miss of the DPRK.
But the closest track (Thunderhill) is almost a 5 hour tow., as are PIR and ORP.

When they finally finish the Fresno-Bakersfield high speed rail section, I'll come back to ride that.
You'll be able to travel at high speed from one place that no one wants to be, to another where no one wants to go.
And it works in either direction!
Ironic.

Buddy of mine that I used to race with moved from SoCal to Eastern Washington. Sounds like a similar property you bought, 5 acres, huge workshop. Semi retired now. He just restored an old 914 for spirited back roads driving.
