Also the wind turbines and solar panels don't work well during cold weather.
Keep in mind, Texas has A LOT of Califorinans . In the Dallas area, majority of EV/Tesla owners are Asian Indians. The white guy has it so he can show off to the Bro's. I dont think I have ever seen a lightning and the only place I know of that has chargers is Kohls. We do have a couple HEB's so I guess they have them

Ever since the grid froze up last winter in Texas, the influx of Texans to Louisiana has been extensive. So did we get California Texans or Texas Texans or Mexican Texans or.... lol Seriously the amount of Texas tags I see daily is quite large.

I know the Tesla charging stations are being vandalized, world-wide, the thugs like the copper. A good pair of bolt cutters, and in a just a few minutes, the thug can leave with every charging cable at a station. In many locations, even if caught, they don't need to put up bail in order to get out of jail, and in many cases- they not even be charged at all! All this adds up to the likelihood that it [the vandalism of charging station cables] will continue and will grow in frequency-as it has been for the last couple of years, again-worldwide.

I think you've found the wrong forum. We're a truck forum, not a political or environmental forum.

If you want to troll or start arguments along those lines, I'd suggest Twitter, Facebook, or Reddit.

That's hard to believe being the Louisiana economy is and has been in the ditch.

Not where I live it isn't. Take a ride over here and you'll likely see more Texas tags than you do in your own state, half the damned fools don't know how to drive, the other half don't know how to refill their blinker fluid.

I drove from Houston to New Orleans last year and didn't see anything like you're saying. And every time a hurricane hits' Louisianna, Texas has to absorb more of your residents that unfortunately never move back.

I do like Sen John Kennedy and think he's a good man and tries to do his best for your state, but it's hopeless.

Would you like me to start taking pictures of every Texas tagged vehicle I pass on the road? It's real whether you wish to believe it or not. When those gas valves froze over and put everyone in the dark last winter is when the migration began.

We were doing SO well. 🙄

This is ridiculous. Find an economic or political forum if you want to do this. Not here. Who lives in the better state is way beyond the scope of the Lightning forum.
