California’s Power Outage Demonstrates the Biggest Flaw With Tesla’s Plan to Sell Everyone an Electric Car

Inc.

Tesla sent a warning to its Northern California customers: Charge up your vehicle now. If you don't, it's hard to say when you'll next have a chance.

You may have heard that in August the NAFA Board of Directors made the decision to not renew Phil’s contract and kindly offered him the option of leaving the organization at once.
