Believe it or not, I knew someone who did it... except they lived in Tahoe and worked in Reno. It's pretty long, but I'm sure plenty of LA people make even longer ones. A family friend actually lived in Colfax, and worked in the bay area... the time issue's pretty plain and simple as to weather you mind the drive twice a day... a least it's a pretty drive! The only issue I see is to look into closely is the winter weather that make 80 pretty terrible when a big snowstorm hits, especially towards the summit... Most (if not all) frequent Tahoe vacationers have at least one story of it taking 5 hours to get over the mountain after a storm. Granted, the part between Donner Summit and Reno is much easier grade-wise than the Sacramento-Donner side is, so you'll be driving the "better half" when it comes to that... still something to look into very closely.
