RIP Cybertruck. You Were Unloved, Unwanted, and Utterly Absurd

"30kWh per day" isn't waving away anything.

30kW is a rate.

30kWh is a measure of energy, about 100MJ.

30kWh/day is a rate again, 100MJ/day.

It seems clunky, but it's a way energy usage in a house is typically measured.

Thanks, I went to school too.

I said the time period matters when you're talking about it relative to generation. 30kWh over the course of a day is very different to 30kWh over ten minutes.

Um... My reply was to you saying "I'm sure GP understands that [explanation]"

Except that GP (pmontra) had asked "Is that 30 kW each hour of the day?"

Clearly someone asking that doesn't understand what kWh/day means, and since you were backing GP, it seemed reasonable to guess that you might not understand either.
