    Watching the wild fires in California, no one is blaming Tesla cars. Where are the Tesla skeptics?
    </sarcasm>

    Tom's article about integrated EVSEs to the grid is timely:

    ...
    Demand Response provides an opportunity for electric vehicle owners to reduce the stress on the electric grid by reducing or shifting their electricity usage during peak periods in response to time-based rates or other forms of financial incentives. However, in order for them to do so, they need to allow their utility to communicate to their charging equipment to offer a real-time response to the grid's needs.
    ...

    But equally important is the ability to SAFELY draw emergency power from the car. A single, 15-20 A, 120 VAC, sine-wave, inverter would be an exceptionally useful feature. The cybertruck will have this (and more) but we also need it as an option across the Tesla line. Otherwise, the clever owners will install their own, 12V powered, inverters, typically <10 A, 110 VAC, modified and sine wave inverters.
