Hopefully they’ve upped their game since then.

@@seattlevkk I used to manage service for a large residential solar fleet. We would constantly get calls from Tesla customers saying it had been months with no response. Unfortunately because Tesla uses a proprietary racking system, no other solar installers can work on their systems.

@@TheBooban there's no point in explaining things to Tesla fans

That is why green energy must be 100% privately financed. If an enterprising inventor actually believes his idea would work, then he must bear all the risks to produce it. Government subsidies only encourage carelessness. They don't need to care about product quality or customer satisfaction, because they know the Government will always bail them out, even when they don't deserve it.

I've heard nothing but awful things about their customer service. (I've also read about what a nightmare it is to work there, so I don't blame the individual workers). Seems like the only thing Tesla was good at was PR! They even got a Reddit post about them shut down recently because it was unflattering. This is just getting to outright grift territory, I can't believe they were allowed to rip people off like that! I get so mad seeing musk rip off normal middle and working class people, and he shrugs it off like "welp, that's capitalism" and then makes a joke on Twitter about starting a coup. (Which he's actually done before). The things he's allowed to get away with are so infuriating to me I hope things are at least up and working for you now! I dream about being able to get off the grid this way. It's super cool to see people like you who wanted to take the initiative and expense of solar panels cause they believed in the idea, just to see them get taken advantage of so Musk can focus on what he actually cares about, which is Tesla's stock.

The early Tesla cars were the same, littered with issues, early battery failures, electric germlins, running out of battery when the meter still showed power left..terrible interior build quality...but none of this really surfaced because the owners were so pious about them and shouted down anyone who dared to bring it up.

I wonder how other solar companies perform. With fewer workers it may just remain with ongoing issues.

I am sure it does. Same for even Tesla car owners in some areas. I think production has been such a focus that customer service has languished. The company needs to bring in someone who can lead a strong customer service team which operations globally. And they need to get a media relations team in place after disbanding it over a year ago.

@@offwhitemke The problem is not the focus on production. The problem is the focus on having the lowest price. That's not a bad thing if you can offer the low price and maintain customer service. But Tesla is hitting those numbers by eliminating customer service. And that is what ultimately will cause them to fail. If enough people start publicly complaining about Tesla's inability to support their product, new customers will be very hard to find - harder even than a Tesla solar advisor when you have a problem.

@@MM-sf3rl Other Solar companies can be worse. Industry leader Peterson Dean went bankrupt leaving a ton of residential customers hanging in the middle of incomplete solar projects.

Residential roof top solar makes zero sense and when politicians and the like push for it than I know they have no clue what they are talking about and are just parroting some BS they got told. If you want to do this for your house than I would say do it if cost is not an issue of if you are off grid. Commercial three phase customers are typically on a completely different electrical tariff and there, solar makes sense. The trick is not even to completely replace their supply but to install enough panels so that their demand from the grid is less. If the people want solar for their homes than it's probably makes more sense to push for it to happen as a grid based installation.

Not producing above 80% is to be expected. The ideal climate is direct sunlight, low pollution, and cold air... which doesn't really work in the desert where the scortching heat not only regrades the panel over time, but reduces operating efficiency.

With todays cost it could be around 8 years. Recovering the cost for a 10KWh battery storage system is close to impossible for a normal german household. Again at already historical electricity cost.

You void the panel warranty if not installed professionally.

I would recommend getting pricing for the install as well as the kits because I have seen companies sell the DIY kits for more than the price of a full install and claim you are saving money. You also need to line up an electrician ahead of time if you need to do a line-tie at the electrical panel or meter.

This is because solar energy doesn't make economic or practical sense. It only sells because governments are making practical electricity (fossil fuels, nuclear) artificially expensive while it's subsidizing solar. There is almost no other industrial process where harvesting of dilute, intermittent resources is done. Practical energy is produced in concentrated factories that can operate 24/7/365 regardless of weather or season, and then distributed to consumers. The consumer producing his own power makes about as much sense as if everyone would produce their own cars or their own food.

All failed to fix the issue but they have the audacity to tell me I know nothing and they know how to fix the issue. I’m at a loss.

Just so you know: no one cares. 😁

If a composite roof works in your area you are right the price of solar roof tiles don’t make sense. But if you were already going to pay 3 time the cost of a composite roof so you could have a slate roof. Then the cost of a solar roof makes sense. This is true for very few people. But it is good that they are trying to make this work. For my self I did a composite roof and a SunPower system. Which cost me less than half of what a solar roof would have been.

Tiles are not more expensive tho... if you're building a new house it only make sense to put those solar tiles. If you have an existing roof sure, might be more expensive. But when building new, you get better insulation, durability and free energy at a lower cost. When the 100% figure out the customer support on this HUGE project, this will be amazing, both financially and energy-wise

I live an area where solar panels would a) be very visible, i.e. northern hemisphere, the south-facing roof is directly pointed toward the street, and b) cause huge objection by my neighbors. I live in a very conservative, southeast U.S. neighborhood. (think, 9 out of 10 are Trump voters.) b) wouldn't matter if it also wasn't the fact that my wife hates the look of panels on roofs. However, I might be able to convince her of solar that looked like a normal roof from a distance.

@Jay Oyster That can definitely be a problem. Washington state has a law that an HOA can not restrict solar on your roof. But when me and a neighbor started talking about it our hoa definitely still tried. It destroyed our hoa and so we voted to disband it. I payed extra to make sure there was no visible conduit and made sure it didn’t break our roof line. We really like the architectural design of our roof. That being said. It definitely looks different with the panels. And we are planning to put panels even on the north side.

@@JayOyster Your house would be a perfect case for a new form of tile roof, but I'm sure other competitors would probably try to damage your roof so you would give up. I'll bet, without tampering the tiles would last better than thirty years.

My Tesla battery now would cost almost as much as my solar/battery combined due to demand/supply and reduction in rebates, so home battery adoption will slow. Solar though is still growing fast.

My best guess is that in order to have effective CS(customer support), they'll have to get more people to do it. In order to be effective at CS, you must be absolutely familiar with the situation. With any complex situation, to be absolutely familiar with the situation, you must be deeply involved in the company or design of the company's product. If tesla has been anything so far, they have been non-transparent(they don't want to reveal too much info). The last thing they are interested in doing at this time is hiring a bunch of people to answer phones all day....yet these people would be immensely invested into Tesla--they would know every single detail, from engineering designs to customer profiles; job estimates and technology deficiencies. Tesla doesn't need any more loose ends, therefore more CS is highly doubtful. Simply hiring more goons to answer calls won't please anybody, because goons are low-level and don't have access to the sensitive info that would actually provide people with helpful answers and timelines.

Which is why we need humanoid robots as well as AI to take over industries that need more people for society to develop faster as well as make it convenient for people to get services and overthrow the municipalities and utility companies cuz they’ve both become a monopoly and useless and careless and get in the way of progress…or is it just the shortage of electricians that can’t get to every site and are backed up and take forever to approve things when really…it should all be done within 1 hour (the checking part) and remotely approve everything instantaneously…and homongenize the electric grid policies and stuff…

None of Elon’s company are making money , that’s not strange to you

Are they normal solar panels? You would get them for far cheaper if you just removed the name “Tesla.”

@@joebidenisyourpresidentget2481 Some customers want the lowest price, go for it. Other customers want the convenience, speed, and/or brand. Those customers are okay with paying extra for such luxuries.

@@joebidenisyourpresidentget2481 actually my Tesla system was over $20k cheaper than all the other quotes I got from the local guys in my area. Tesla solar is way cheaper per watt than everyone else.

not sure if 'carbon neutral' is the right term. i'm guessing that you're not figuring in manufacturing, installation, eventual replacement, etc. people tend to buy electric cars and think, "i'm totally green now!" even though all that electricity going into the car comes from a coal plant. out of sight, out of mind...

@@mmm-mmm I have an EV as well and I run that with solar energy off my roof and the other solar roofs in the suburb (40% of Australian homes have solar) and after 8 months it had offset carbon emissions from manufacturing (see link below). I’m on my second EV now after 4 years. I used to pay $100 a week for fuel in 2018, now it’s free. In fact I charge my EV using an app that tracks available solar energy. So my car is run from the sun only (we’re not as backward as the US on rooftop solar). Also I’m now with an electricity supplier that provides access to the wholesale electricity market and I’ve configured my house battery to take advantage of spikes in supply charge so that my house battery discharges when the demand is extreme and now I get paid to connect to the grid. I can even take advantages of this time when you get paid to use electricity because there is too much supply which happens a lot in summer in Australia due to every third house have PV cells on the roof. So in summer I get paid to charge my car with solar energy simply because the grid frequency needs balancing. Don’t believe all the crap that the oil company’s pump out. They’re just trying to protect the $2.8b a day profits they make. Plenty of money to drive the disinformation in their favour. www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/lifetime-carbon-emissions-electric-vehicles-vs-gasoline-cars-2021-06-29/#:~:text=Based%20on%20a%20series%20of,environment%20than%20a%20Toyota%20Corolla.

Agree. Just manufacture new roofs to use at construction or renovation.

What do you mean by miserable?

Sounds like they don't want competition to ease life for you when you need roof repairs.

That's about the normal time, maybe longer by 1-2 months average but you gotta remember pandemic is still going and SC is technically understaffed too

But I saw a video of a man who bought such a roof and he was happy with the price and performance.

Why didn't you change the roof before mounting solar? Shouldn't be that difficult to estimate the state of a simple roof

The DNA of America is not to be bullied by anyone. Speak up, even if you will lose. With time it will get better for ppl after you.

It sad 😔 this is speaking the truth. I love Tesla , but fanboys are really doing the industry a disservice. It just a tech companies. Apple fanboys was like this until company became the most valuable company in the world and no longer cool to be a Apple fan boy

@@KenTheMan407 you say fanboys like it’s bad thing. Do you know what it takes for a company to create a fan base? Companies without fanboys, there’s a reason don’t.

You've been paying attention for some time now.

Thanks for the breakdown. Everything I've heard from Tesla screams employee exploitation and race to the bottom. Meanwhile corporate drinks up the huge profits.

@@FlowLai I’m a vendor and subcontractor for mini auto body shops in automotive shops and there is a growing vast number of acts in four years and enough either being laid off but even many more are quitting either due to burn out or frustration. And after these Nubee employees who were tired and groomed by Tesla move out into the real world in the automotive industry they realize how screwed up and out of touch with the world of the automotive industry tesla really is because it’s all corporate rule books and not much of it has actually to do with repair industry and product support

What would you recommend for best quality and price?

@@j_rod5893 Contractors or owners who get up into the marketing programs of high profits and how to make money and start following scripted margins and businesses practices high pressure sales will make a company a lot of money in the beginning until they burn too many bridges and get a bad reputation and then find out they have to change your phone number and change their name and start all over again. Does this sound familiar. And he usually comes from upper marketing or an owner who is never really a master at his craft in the first place if he even ever swing a hammer or wired up the house There’s no secret magic price range. To quality in quantity. Unless you listen to the high marketing impact sales and marketing who are going to help you grow your business with numbers that are usually cannot be obtained in the end a final collapse comes the majority of the time. I like my grandfather and my father who I worked under and instructed with very keen on education and reading technical manuals about the subject and the product and items that you were constructing selling diagnosing or engineering in combination with hands-on experience. And hands-on experience doesn’t mean 20 years of doing something wrong makes it right. Becoming so good and so efficient at what you do especially in construction when you have to know a little bit of engineering and materials application. Myself or my father or my grandfather as an owner were actually excellent instructors and very technical and knew how to get it across to even an employee that may have dropped out of school and was not the best at learning through Books. That mine said that even the janitor in your business had to know something about the business and that you can bring a janitor up to a level of a technician. Working so efficiently with supplies that you know every time a technician have to leave a job site or somebody have to call or supplies and get them delivered or go pick them up is money and time wasted that could’ve been on another job you might as well took all the money profits for that one day waiting for that one product and flush it down the toilet if you didn’t have it on stock in hand on your vehicle or back at the shop. Trading in selecting a staff that doesn’t steal from the company or rip them off it’s sometimes difficult. If the person doing the hiring for some reason attracts nothing but the bottom of the barrel. In a local market usually many workers that word will get out that somebody doesn’t train they under pay they overwork there’s no room to move up and not one single good employee will ever walk through the doors are called that employer and the employer always cry that he can’t find technicians but usually the problem lies in the mirror. You can actually charge Tesla’s kind of pricing or even hire to do a job but you do it so well above anything the customer ever expected. And those customers who self educate them selves meet there especially Tatian and you’re even interested in explaining and educating them to a far higher level that even they with all their research because they are about to dump 40,000 or 50,000 or $150,000 that you gave them more information about your business your trade how it’s done and where there’s unexpected expenditures that they didn’t even realize. When you finish your customer does so much advertising for you you do not need yellow page ads you do not need to socialize and look for connection you do not need flyers you do not need any form of advertising because so much advertising will be done for you by your customer and your customer we’re already praying your new customer that they’re referring that you are the most expensive guy there’s no argument about the price because of the quality of the product. My father and my grandfather did business like that even though I went to school and was young and learned a little bit about marketing and sales and I thought it had to be that way and father and grandfather just scarfed at me and laughed. Nearly 30 years ago when I started my own business I thought I had to have yellow page ads and do a lot of advertising maybe even those local neighborhood coupon ads. Because I work for franchises I work for corporate I worked for individual dealerships and seeing how the marketing worked and I thought that was the way it had to be. When I started my business that my father walked me through because he said he wouldn’t give me one I had to earn it and go through the hard trials. After about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks of doing walkins to promote my business is at other businesses I started getting so much work I can no longer go out and do advertising. Then my first brother came along and my second brother came along than an uncle and then a cousin. We had so much work we removed all advertisement and signage and phone numbers offer vehicles because we had too much work to the word of mouth of our customers. I pulled my yellow page ad after about the first year and got rid of them because it was totally worthless those were not the kind of customers I wanted I wanted to customers that I got two recommendations and pre-sales of my previous customers Nearly 30 years later I still have half of the box of 500 business cards that I printed out but I never passed out because I did not want any more business. Our flyers winning the garbage or Rolodex cards we were giving out in those days with her pager number and our fax number which we no longer have a fax anymore no pagers. And now I’m known to have some of the most expensive labor rate and prices for the product that I install or service with zero advertisement. Your advertisement is your work not the cheapest product not the cheapest supplies not the cheapest labor. But all applied by the owner who actually can thoroughly and efficiently with the highest degree of proficiency perform every task from installation to diagnosis to sales and everything is easy there is no difficult task. There is no more problems because they are also easily overcome and solved by each person performing the task in every level of the company. Because the owners are so proficient and efficient and good at what they do they could pass that attitude onto their workers and you literally teach your workers to become contractors or open up their own business and make them so good they could become your competitors. My father was like this teaching his apprentices under him to be so good they can open up their own business on some factor that was related in the industry. My first general contractor when I was young building houses mentored me and his other employees to all go out and get their own contractors license and as soon as we started on jobs he handed each one of us the book on engineering in on contracting building practices and quizzed us on every aspect of every job how to get better and what were the processes we were going to perform before we started that day. And off of that one contractor he mentored and started many other contractors that were very successful and in the end they all work together and help each other because they were taught by the best to be the best. Not the best salesman not the best marketing. The best master at their craft. Of course this kind of model cannot work for a large corporate chain a large corporate rule book business because there’s too many in competent individuals with money do you wanna pull their profit off the top with no common sense how to train anybody on the bottom

One good tip, take ice cold beverage to the crew leader and roofers, and get their cell number direct, and ask if they could use it to call them for a side job, if you have an issue later.

They bought Solar City, at one time the largest residential PV installer in the US.

Maybe they are using the brand name to get some people who may not have been interested in solar to become interested. It sounds like a headache to deal with tesla solar. If someone had enough space to where they could have panels installed that weren't on the roof it is probably more scalable for the mass market.

Totally agree. A name + hype

I never understood the solar roof concept anyway. Every where in the world a lot of people install ordinary solar panels on there roof and it just works. To say that solar will only take of when it will look like ordinary shingles ... does not make sense to me.

They were actually strips of solar panels and they were discontinued because they installed like skylights with the installers cutting away rows of shingles, and they had the same leaking issues that skylights have.

For what it probably cost you..I will pass..Solar should be a no brainer, 100K for a roof is not only ridiculous, its not accessible for 95% of the population...
