It seems that Tesla has removed the "complexity" factor in their new pricing model and lowered the price a bit. The estimator price is just a little higher than my original contract with two PW's, omitting a roof replacement cost they recently added in. Replacing the roof is quoted an additional...

Interesting... I entered few addresses 5-10 miles away and they are showing 4kW(12 panel) systems ranging $8,200-$8,976 but $9,792 for me. Weird how their pricing model works, even for regular panels. 😳

It seems Tesla removed the configuration for "complexity" pricing when ordering the solar roof on their site. It's now showing a set price similar to before. Estimator cost is way less than the new contract they sent me.. last thing I want is another price hike before installation and months of...

Haven't heard back from resolutions either and I only asked if my solar panel order have re-roofing expedited because they said it can be up to one year wait or do it myself. :rolleyes:

That roof looks really complex by Teslas definition. If it was less than $100k, I’d be surprised.

Is it me or does the edit button disappear randomly on this forum? Wanted to correct myself, it was 38k for the roof alone, and 58k with two powerwalls and 93k total after price hike.

That is a pretty reasonable price. Mine was 2700 sq ft roof single story house, 8.2 kW system for $58k by itself (no PW or tax credits), then raised to $73k before I cancelled :) Hope all goes well, I would keep second options just in case though.. Yes, there is a thread with some cancelled...

$48,000 for 10 kW Solar Roof with a Powerwall? Is your roof less than 1000 sq ft? That would be similar to last year's pricing model, which I would be shocked if they honored.. it.

Saw this posted on a forum, it looks like a class action law suit may have started in Pennsylvania. Consumers Accuse Tesla of Bait-and-Switch in Solar Roof Tiles Class Action | Top Class Actions Posted a comment with our petition and some details with my ordeal.. Wouldn't hurt if anyone else...

Anyone else receive this form after cancelling their order? Yup.

https://www.change.org/HonorTeslaRoofContracts Written in haste, let me know any recommendations or edits to add in.

Should we start a charge.org petition?

This is starting to remind me of the time when a Tesla Model S crashed and the doors got jammed with the drivers/passengers trying to escape and witnesses outside trying to break them out but ultimately all passengers died from the car catching on fire. Source: Bloomberg Not saying that’s what...

Isn’t brake horsepower a big thing with professional race car drivers down shifting to slow down before a curve? Kinda curious what would stop faster 60 - 0 MPH, 4000 lb EV with regen or 1800 lb Lotus with sport brakes.

It seems you both are correct. Thought I read the PW’s had a DC-AC inverter built in somewhere..

I would be shocked if Tesla stops selling solar without Powerwalls bundled all together.. Wouldn’t that mean their new inverters won’t be used anymore?

Seems they were ramping up on hiring several attorneys for consumer litigation and arbitration right during the price increase.. Maybe that’s why Tesla has not responded to any disputes yet? https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/job/legal-counsel-consumer-litigation-88041

Crossovers are the top selling cars in the market right now.. My current car company only makes new updates to crossovers and SUV's now. That said, I think they are ugly similar to the model y.. Design is subjective.

I was heavily debating on buying a Tesla once I had a solar roof. The price difference between new contract can literally buy me one 😆 I'm going to look at other EV's first now even if they make the best ones..

I was told personally over the phone from Tesla Solar Roof team that Elon made and approved the decision, so you are correct. Not sure how much of an influence management was, but blaming it all on "management" is something they keep repeating..

Copy Pasta email which everyone else received.. Did they offer you a free powerwall at least when you didn’t cancel? File a complaint with SEIA on business codes they’ve broken, state AG and contracters state license board like the rest of us. Class action lawsuit would require proving personal...

"You may next change your username on or after Jan 6, 2024." If I am active still, it will be "ShingleRoofInstalled" :)

I've wondered that too. They have shown almost 5 different versions that probably won't be produced again in 5 years.

I've contacted California's AG but have not heard back. Personally I do not have much damages and just linked this thread and articles, along with SEIA business codes they were breaking.

I understand you, even debated on putting in a new order with the "basic" complexity to see if the price would be the same. Can't justify it knowing they'll just add more increases along the line..

I'm currently comparing local installers and Tesla solar panel quotes to see how big of a difference it is. Tesla solar panels had a design and scheduled site inspection finished shockingly in one week, while the solar roof took months and several emails going no where with 50% more in costs. I...

Noticing they've been pushing hard to get people to cancel. Like I care about the $100 deposit for what they're asking.. Not canceling and just going to sit and watch too.

Was told over phone that Elon personally approved the price hike. Doesn't sound likely they'll honor the old contracts at all besides the ones already in construction or from legal pressure. Local solar panels it is for me..

I've filed a complaint to SEIA by emailing [email protected] Not sure how helpful it will be, but I'll update if anything comes out of it. A reminder this was part of our purchase disclosure forms: SEIA Solar Business Code Provider DOES abide by and agrees to be bound by SEIA’s Solar Business...

It seems that all the new contracts were repriced into "complex roof" with the estimator defaulting to "moderate roof" unless I'm wrong. The prices generally change after an official design. I'm curious if anyone had a new contract that did not fall under the "complex roof" tier? Really...

Tesla has informed me on call that all projects in pipeline will be affected by this price increase and there is no negotiation or escalation. I’m not sure about a law suit, but personally I will be filing a formal complaint with SEIA and encourage others to do so...

I am basing it off the new layout pictures and descriptions of complexity from their own site. Simple Single-level roof Uncrowded mounting planes Few obstructions (pipes, chimneys, skylights) Low pitch Intermediate Multi-level roof (roof sections built on multiple stories of your house)...

My contract is roughly 23 pages long. The only mention of SEIA is below. My roof is hardly complex I imagine compared to other houses. Single story and based on the page Tesla provided on roof complexity, it should fall under "simple" category, but the new pricing labeled it "complex"...

Sharing previously signed contract and new pricing for reference.

The contract is vague on installation timing. It says approximately 7-180 days from date the agreement from signed to start and complete. Mine rose more than 50% for 1 KWh upgrade. What irritates me the most is them delaying months on a redesign citing "shortage of staff", then sending out the...
