    Terrible experience selling house with SolarCity/Tesla Energy panel lease on it

    You're right, it started making sense to purchase the inherited PPA outright starting a couple years ago but doesn't save me any money, just sense of control that comes with "taking back" my roof. At this point it is a wash whether I purchase now or right before selling the house (which won't...

    You thoughts on becoming Teslanaires buying shares post S&P500 inclusion?

    Terrible experience selling house with SolarCity/Tesla Energy panel lease on it

    I've a Sunrun PPA that I inherited from the previous owner. Signover was straightforward in 2013. I've been plotting some way to get out of the PPA since. Is there REALLY no way?

    Recently produced Model X batteries

    Why doesn't Tesla "just" redesign the whole heating/cooling system to include octovalve for Model X so it too can get some next level efficiency going?

    Recently produced Model X batteries

    Have models 3 and Y batteries gotten into S/X yet? Also, would it be out of the realm of possibility that either octovalve or superbottle made it to the S/X by now?

    I'm skeptical: financial viability of Tesla-exclusive rideshare service

    I'm skeptical: financial viability of Tesla-exclusive rideshare service

    Nice discussion, my reference to Cathie Woods of Ark Invest is to bring up their advocacy for a "beta version" of the Tesla network to be launched right now before L5 autonomy is achieved. They describe a non-autonomous network to compete with Uber and Lyft, isolated to large metro areas in CA...

    I'm skeptical: financial viability of Tesla-exclusive rideshare service

    Time to revive this discussion methinks, with Elon tweeting about it a while back and Cathie Woods evangelizing for it, I'd like to hear member discussion on this subject.
