So I have a signed contract, permitting approved, months of planning, install scheduled for Oct 22, 2020. Oct 1 had the first Tesla site pre inspection (all the design was from satellite and photos I uploaded). No issues noted. A few days ago I get a text and an email with an update to the pricing. No details, no one will respond to voicemail or email, but the cost went from $72k to over $80k. So over 10%, over $8000 increase with zero explanation.

So I’m not e-signing the new pricing without discussion. I’m curious as to what Tesla Solar will do next. Will they honor their contract? Will they cancel the project? Will anyone ever return a phone call?

my house is a basic 2200sq/ft single story, basic asphalt shingles...

The Tesla employee that did the on-site a week ago is the only person that will reply, and he seems to have no idea what would have changed the cost. He said the house seemed rather simple, should be an easy install. So it doesn’t seem he would have red flagged the project, although his report seems the most likely trigger for a price increase. I can’t imagine what would result in a $8000 increase, and in fact last week Tesla LOWERED the price for the solar roof.
