That's with panels to give equivalent power output. You're essentially paying a $35k premium for a sleeker install.
- cycrutchfield 9y agoAnd what would the effect on property value be for an asphalt roof with garish panels vs. the Tesla option?
- bradlys 9y agoProbably depends on the home. I don't think it would add $35k worth of value over the other installation to a home (especially for a typical $200k home). Also, who cares about property value? If you're selling anytime soon after installing either system, you're going to be taking a significant loss because I doubt you'll make it back in added property value. Especially for the Tesla system. Hard to justify to folks, "Yeah, my otherwise standard $200k home has a fancy $57k roof." Maybe for the bay area where homes are often over $2mm and the desire for such a roof is plausibly high.
- cycrutchfield 9y agoSounds like you figured out what their target market looks like then.
- bradlys 9y agoIt's definitely an item for the 1% class. I'm not surprised it's "backordered" because it's going to be extremely low supply to begin with.
