Reading the presentation, Musk seems to be saying, "Solar City is great and will be even better if I run it like I do Tesla". And a hand wavy, "we have the same customers."
This seems like an unusually sketchy move from him.
- aedron 10y agoIsn't Solar City run by his cousins?
- blackguardx 10y agoAnd he owns a lot of its stock.
- AYBABTME 10y agoFeels like a "thanks cousin, but now it's time I run this company too" pseudo takeover thing. Personally I don't mind, as an investor in both SCTY and TSLA.

- kbenson 10y ago> "we have the same customers." Well, I assume that means the Powerwall, in which case I agree, they do have a lot of the same customers. I think there's a lot of potential to market Tesla cars/batteries to Solarcity customers, and Panels to Tesla car/battery owners. I wouldn't be surprised to see combo packages sold in the future.
- jedberg 10y agoHe means the cars. When you buy a Tesla the first thing they do is send you marketing materials to get a Solar City install to charge your car at home, as they are an "approved vendor". So a lot of people with the cars have Solar City installs on their roof.
