I have no doubt the Taycan is the cutting edge of EV's and Porsche did it right. But at the price point of $100K plus, that certainly opens the door for all kinds of exciting cars to buy from 911's to my personal favorite a Ferrari 355. Cars that would fill your soul with the exhaust note alone.

You aren't wrong. Mine charges at 11 kWh. That's a big load.
Some states are much better off though. I couldn't, for a million dollars, remember the last brownout or blackout in Florida aside from a day or so after a hurricane a few years back. It's rock-solid here (thanks for the nat gas).
Idk about Texas, maybe someone's cooking a lot of meth because Good Lord you use a lot of energy. On a consumption list of 50 states, y'all came in at 51. Like they had to add DC in there just for an extra dig at Texas?
My uneducated guess is that much if it is being used to create more energy which gets exported? You can't squeeze industry to pay a little more to upgrade the system that they're overworking because they have too much political power?

There's this guy. He was born without a body. Just a head. He's okay with it. He's in the cancellations department for Time Warner cable and he loves talking to people.
Sometimes he does wonder what it would be like to run around so he rests on the window sill of the upstairs window. He watches the kids play for hours.
Anyway, he sees his mom coming home, she throws the door open and yells to the 2nd floor, "Wendell, Wendell, I got you a surprise!!!!"
Wendell says, "better not be another f**king hat!"

From what I've read, the majority of their power goes to industrial uses, though they still are one of the highest users of residential, so there may still be some meth in there! I think the industrial use is oil refining - go figure! I guess the oil is "exported power", but otherwise all that electricity stays in Texas since they aren't connected to the east or west power grid (which, would probably fix their lack of power issues in extreme conditions, but hey, deregulation is great, right?).
We are insane.
