My daughter and I decided to go to Newport Beach to have dinner with my sister. We were gonna take my car, and I have an electric SUV. We get into the car, I look, and we only have about 50% electrical charge. And I said, "I don't think we have enough charge to get there." And my husband goes, "Oh, we'll be fine." Anyone married to a spouse like that? We go, we have a great time with my sister. We're coming back, and all of a sudden I look, we have 9% battery. And we are on the freeway. I'm like, we have to get off the freeway! All of this to say, you all can have the most clear destination, and then what happens? You run out of gas. And so we just need to recalibrate again, charge up, refuel. And that's why you all are here. We all need this. I need this.
