    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Cancelled. Going to go panels with someone else that isn’t Tesla.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I still think it comes down to damages. I don’t see how any court would force this contract to be honored as ‘damages’. Makes sense that Tesla offered to compensate for items and work people performed while preparing for the roof, but beyond that seems like a reach. This comes from my years of...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Your situation makes me want to cancel altogether if that’s how NJ installs go.

    And it is huge. Closer to $200k I would guess.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    How do traditional roof prices look? Inflated during covid or not bad?

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    My advisor stated the below via email so it’s definitely just lack of preparation as well: “Price increase is also based on price per sq ft which is now been increased to $14 per sq ft. The price of supplies have increased and we had to increase our prices with the supply and demand. This is...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Glad to hear it got done for you. Not seeing required powerwalls on the online order page for new orders yet. I still think that’s a losing strategy for them but I suppose we’ll see. Maybe they are doing it purposefully for now to reduce orders who knows.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    They buried the part about reneging on contracts deep in the article. Most of the article just makes it sound like a quote was given then raised later. They do mention a contract being signed but it’s not the main point, like it should be.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    The previous poster was specifically asking about a $7k increase for roof decking. Wasn’t referring to the total increase due to plywood.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    I’ve seen a couple people state Tesla just moved fwd with their installs and honored original price. Not many though but it’s early in the game. I just got the free powerwall email as well but on a project going from $56k to $102k...not gonna bite. I’m just going to wait it out and see what...

    Plywood is crazy expensive right now. So could be legit.

    This is what I’m attempting to do now. Thanks for this.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Correct I understand. Was mostly asking if anyone was able to approve a design without signing new contract? I thought they would be separate items but the only option they gave me to move fwd was to approve both with one-click.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Question regarding someone in my position: my original contract was signed in early Jan and confirmed via emails that price wouldn’t increase in terms of per sq ft and kWh. I finally got my design yesterday with the price increase. I don’t see a way to review/approve the design without also...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    My advisor emailed me the below as part of a longer email: “Price increase is also based on price per sq ft which is now been increased to $14 per sq ft. The price of supplies have increased and we had to increase our prices with the supply and demand. This is applied to all orders and both...

    Sorry it’s $2.01/watt + $14/$16/$19.24 per square ft

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    The pricing is just a fixed $2.01/kWh + $/roof sq ft based on complexity. unless they changed it again.

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Also forgot to mention I anticipated something like this might occur to pending contracts when they started to change pricing on their pricing tool. I agree. It’s more annoying than anything. I’m not going to fight this more than a few emails maybe. Also forgot to mention I anticipated...

    Solar Roof, big price increase

    Most of the contracts state “unforeseen conditions at the installation location” which is more specific than just anything unforeseen as it must be something specific about the customers project. I find it hard to believe that people who have already had designs finalized and in person...
