Musk claimed that Tesla’s solar roof would be competitive with conventional roofing tiles when factoring in the value of the electricity generated and said the roof could potentially cost less than traditional roofing materials, especially high-end options like slate or clay tiles.
Musk lies about everything and even tells us not to believe our eyes. Never forget he’s an actual Nazi:
“My heart goes out to” those dumb enough to do business with him. Cut from the same cloth as Trumpy
Tesla offloaded the hardest, least profitable part of the Solar Roof
Starting to see a pattern here…
Intelligent people do not buy/trust/invest in Musk or Musk products anymore. Not an opinion.
It sometimes takes a while to cull the herd. All the losers will lose. Evolution at its finest.
I just can’t figure how Musk got so far from his bubble. Money???
Should be cross posted to Leopards Ate My Face.
a musk company doing something scummy?I’m pretty sure solar shingles or the like were already around… 🤔
Apparently Tesla’s been installing them since like 2018, only ever sold 3,000.
I was like “how does a solar roof kill Tesla, and why is it costing installers?” but no lol its saying Tesla discontinued the roof program.
I can not fathom a world in which I would risk my money betting on the success of a Musk endeavor.
OMG honey the roof is flying away!
The first (Chinese) company that reverse engineers and markets it to the US could win big…
There are already others selling solar tiles like Tesla, but a bit of a search tells me these tiles are a minority. Existing houses don’t replace their roof but add panels on top of it. New houses seem to go with cheaper large panels that are prettied up to give a tile like effect and build them integrated into the whole of the roof.
I want China to commit self harm but thats not a factual statement given in almost a decade it only sold 3,000 units.
There’s not much to reverse engineer, really.
Let’s see…
1 make promises
2 do a shoddy job of 75%
3 figure out that shit is hard, or maybe impossible, make more promises, trying to con someone else into doing it
4 ???
5 profit!!!
