So instead of properly maintaining their infrastructure, they just completely shut down when their job becomes tough? I can’t wait to get out of this state.

Something similar happens to prevent long-term, widespread blackouts on summer days. These usually last hours. But 7 days? That's tough to justify to the public. I understand why they feel it's necessary, and maybe it is necessary. But there has to be a better way.

If this actually happens, it will be great for Tesla and other companies that produce home solar + batteries.
