I sure hope, Roy, that when all the eager beavers read about ELON networked electricity metering technology installations increasing in numbers, that they will dually realize they are concurrently giving up personal control over the comfort level and convenient, volitional use of electricity in their personal lives.

Those with respirators, and home dialysis,
and aging parents being home-cared for,
and all the home-schooled kids in the world with their challenges,
and you guys wanting your suppers on time, the clothes washed, ironed and folded,
and your hotwater available in copious amounts prior to getting out the door for work...
do you REALLY want someone else sitting on your "naw, they can't have it today 'cept between 3:30 AM and 7AM electricity availability" switch?

Reminds me of Sarejovo in Europe to this day...yes THAT same quaint spot that was once home to the Winter Olympics just a scant dozen years ago...They only get fresh water between 3-4 AM in the city on previously announced rotation schedules...everyone gets up, hauls their arses and their wagons or carts with bottles and scavenged cartons to the community spigot in order to avail themselves of such a precious commodity. And why?
Because of the paucity of electricity to run the municipal water pumps.

Will it be YOUR ELON coveted electrical metered hotwater tank next? Or your favorite football game suddenly gone black?

Yeah, bring on the ELON connected 23rd Century...can hardly wait here.

LONG LIVE SOLAR!!!
