"Taylor, Forward Labs CEO, told Green Tech Media that the company is aiming to do the right thing for the right reason. In contrast, he believes that Tesla’s design is the “wrong thing for the right reason.” “It’s wrong to devalue people’s houses with something that doesn’t look good. It’s wrong to put holes in roofs; it’s wrong to go to war with homeowner associations; and it’s wrong to try to ram something down people’s throats that they don’t want,” he said."
Isn't this a straw man argument? Telsa's roof shingles look better than standing seam metal roofs and I haven't heard anywhere that people don't want it. Did I miss something?

He'd be much better off positioning his product as yet another sensible choice which happens to be 30% less than some similar products, and some more advanced technology which reduces cost, blah blah.
