1y since my parents' house burned in the Altadena wildfires. @SoCalGas offers appliance rebates for victims but demands install by 12/31/25. Nearly 0 homes are rebuilt. This deadline is unrealistic. @SoCalGas claims to support victims but excludes them through fine print. Not ok.

Ford's cancellation of the F-150 Lightning is a bummer for EV enthusiasts. Was Toyota correct all along with their "1:6:90 rule"? That is, for every 1 EV, you can build 6 PHEVs or 90 HEVs with equal raw materials. What do you think? www.popularmechanics.com/cars/hybrid-...

The Electric-Car Equation No One Wants to Talk About: One EV = 90 Hybrids
Batteries are still a valued commodity, and hybrids make the best use of the necessary materials.

After 1 week using Tesla FSD (supervised) v14.2.1, I have TWO thoughts: 1) It's truly AMAZING. After not using FSD for ~9 months, the improvement is remarkable. It feels like maturing from a teenage driver to a professional Uber driver.
