Solar City is 'done', does that include the Powerwall?
- Robotbeat 8y agoYou're confusing editorializing and actual data. "Solar city is done" is an editorial opinion by the poster based on the lower installed Megawatts this quarter from last, it isn't necessarily reflective of Tesla's actual plans. An equally valid perspective is it's currently a low priority compared to just getting Model 3 out the door. There are occasional comments by Musk that they're still very much interested in consumer solar roofs and certainly Powerwall. Granted, it's also a valid point to say "the proof is in the pudding" and point out the lower actual installed capacity this quarter.
- cowsandmilk 8y agoI would suggest reading the section on solar in Tesla's letter[1]. They put some of the blame for declining solar sales on the fact that customers are waiting for powerwall. They expect sales to pick up as powerwall sales pick up.
