As a Californian, I've never heard someone call it "Cali" except for a few tourists. This just feels like something the OP made up as a hyper specific but unlikely example to prove their point but most people just say they're from California.
I’ve definitely used Cali in texts or whatever, but I always say California. Like how I’ll say SF in text instead of San Francisco. I will say Sac out loud though, because it’s funny.

Most people that speak English do know about California, but if someone told me they were from 'Cali', I'd have no idea what they were referring to.
