Boy are people going to have to do some explaining if Tesla winds down Solar City, which I see as a major possibility.
>But long term their products are going to be as ubiquitous as household electric meters and just as boring.
I'd love to know how people are so confident that it's going to be Tesla that wins this. This isn't Tesla vs GM, Tesla vs Toyota, Tesla vs Ford; it's Tesla vs Everyone. If you were betting, you would really bet on Tesla vs one of about 15 other, huge companies in pool? That seems insane to me.
- djrogers 10y ago> if Tesla winds down Solar City Why would they wind down a profitable financing arm of the company? Auto makers get a huge chunk of their revenue from financing, as do solar lease companies. Lots of synergy there, and just about zero downside to continuing Solar City operations.
