Nothing shocking. Texas for the past couple/few weeks has had unusually hot temps for this time of year. There have been warnings that we may draw too much power.

In my area, the temps are about to go down for about a week according to the weather.

I've seen a couple of ERCOT warnings, but the ERCOT app has always shown that we have not gotten as close to exceeding supply as the warnings advised.

So Tesla has advised folks to NOT charge cars during peak usage (3pm-8pm). I wouldn't think that would be a big deal as you could charge after 8 most of the time.
