I think you're misunderstanding the situation. In the Great U.S. of A.™®©, car manufacturers are forbidden to sell directly to customers, and instead are required to go through independently-owned dealerships that act as middlemen between the manufacturer and the customer. This allows dealerships to arbitrarily control how the cars are sold, add unremovable "dealer options", and that thing everybody loves: markups! The manufacturers have no control over this.

What Tesla managed to do (in some states, at least) is introduce a direct sale model that allows them to sell their cars directly to the customer with no middleman. However, because of archaic laws that really should be repealed at this point, the car can't be delivered to you at the store - it has to be shipped to you.

Yes, it's incredibly stupid. Hi, I'm American and I hate it here.

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
