We were a country for about a month. We declared ourself a republic and fought Mexico for independence. We didn't know that America had ALSO declared war on Mexico until American forces made it here, and we promptly declared allegience with the U.S. and became a state. It's why California and Texas are called republics: we both declared independence from the Spanish before joining the union.

While providing interesting insight, that experiment has many flaws in it's execution.

Just googled "supercharger corridor", and holy shit. As a Californian, why didn't I know about this? It greatly reduces my concerns for buying a Tesla. Well, if I could ever fucking afford one.

Nope. I was in jail for a week for a failure to appear warrant, and I saw quite a bit of this. It seemed like the officers were always looking for a reason.
Edit, and anecdotal example: We were in the room where we exchanged our clothes. We (five of us) were made to strip butt naked, then stand with our toes and noses to the wall. The wall was pretty gross, and one guy (understandably) didn't wanna put his nose to the wall, so he stood with his nose ~2-3 inches off the wall, but otherwise in compliance. An officer saw, walked behind him and, while yelling "I said AGAINST THE WALL!", slammed the guy's face into the wall, breaking his nose and dropping him. When he struggled to get up quick enough, he was beaten. All while the rest of us stood naked and scared with our noses touching a nasty, stanky wall.
