Huh? The part where they pay doesn’t make it not be corruption.

  If it's "corruption" to pay more for greater reliability, it's "corruption" to pay more for a large sandwich than a small one. There's nothing wrong with the quality of good or service varying according to how much you pay.

    Sure, you could frame it that way: Tesla is paying for “increased” reliability, and everyone else just gets their power shut off at a whim. To me, there feels like a big difference between a reliability SLA and an exemption from what is supposedly a vital emergency shutdown.

      Presumably, if you are paying more, then part of that increased amount you are paying is to make certain that the portion of the grid needed to keep your factory going is properly maintained. Unlike the rest of the grid. Which would apparently be too expensive (i.e. everyone on the grid would need to pay the extra fees for increased uptime).
