All Means ALL
As are most Americans, I’m upset, angry and, frankly, disappointed about the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. It’s lead to many discussions in my household. I believe ALL people are created equal, but I was told my silence is part of the problem. I don’t understand why people are mistreated based on the color of their skin. Until we stop treating people like they’re “less than” for any reason, this will keep happening. I am disappointed because this is America in the 21st Century and we are supposed to be past our differences. We have inalienable rights, endowed by our Creator, guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and I support the claiming of those rights by black Americans. The rights are legally, ethically and morally theirs and no persons should infringe on them. ALL MEANS ALL.

Triton Solar is not dipping their toe in to the EV pool. They are doing a cannon ball off the high dive with their Model H which is a beefy boy. With a 700 mile range from a 200kWh battery, can they pull it off?

Reluctant Phone Call
I called one of our members that had a question about installing Tesla chargers at his business. I reluctantly called him not knowing what to expect. Turns out, it was the highlight of my workweek.
