There are over a million powerwalls in the market. And thats just the resi storage. They have a ton of utility scale too and their domestic manufacturing.

Like can you think of any remotely rational reason why Tesla has a market capitalization that's 23-25 times as high as Ford's capitalization?

Because Tesla isn't only a car company. They have an entire grid and home energy division, retail electric provider in Tx, etc.
They've been talking about this for years. I'll believe it when it's real and available for purchase.

Rebrand all the “that kid” bullshite to “that spoiled brat kid”. Or just ignore it and let him continue to look like a douche bag. Either path does the same thing. JDs legacy is fricked at lsu.

Welp, looks like I’m replacing a couple more globrites.
JD is kinda acting like a bitch about this so it makes sense that OM fans would fall in line since that's their natural state.

Replace with microbrites.

I considered it but i just can't bring myself to give Pentair anymore money after they refused to honor a warranty on lights that were failing after just a couple months. I used the CaliMar ones now at the advice of my BIL who works for Pool supply unlimited.

I can only speak to the POS Globrites but all my failures have been water intrusion.

They’re just expensive. And if you have globrites they’re raging pieces of shite. I get them at cost from a big eretailer that my BIL works for. Which is nice because I’ve replaced 9 of them in the past 4 years.

On the labor side my pool guy told me that he runs into screwed up conduit a lot of them which is why he charges so much. I’ve changed all mine myself with no issues. I can do it by myself in about 30 minutes now with a mid pull beer break.

No but if he fricks around in the future or has existing strikes they definitely might put him on probation or yank it. And he knows that.

It will also help if there’s any litigation needed for either resolution or lien removal.

I’m all Tumi and travel pros top line. Been all over the US and world with them and my only complaint is that my right Tumi strap is stretched out because I one arm carry it 99% of the time. They’ll fix it but I have to send it back and that’s just hard to do since I live out of that thing.
Report him to the licensing board before he files the lien. Make sure to send any texts, emails or notes from calls or in person meetings. Most of these guys are borderline retarded so if you look like you have your shite together they probably side with you.
