Yeah, it is what it is. I accepted it and moving on with my life. I'm just super excited it's finally getting installed. Super geeking out.I don't think they slow-rolled you on purpose. I assume they just cleared their queue of orders quickly with the price increase and you vaulted to the front of the line haha.
Regardless of Tesla's business practices; I think the tech behind the solar roof is pretty cool. Hope the system (and Powerwall!) deliver what you want in your quest to get a bit of energy independence!
Are the racks just to hold the (presumably crazy expensive) solar tiles while the install them?Time to wait for the solar tiles.....
Yes.Are the racks just to hold the (presumably crazy expensive) solar tiles while the install them?
I was thinking something like that but wasn't sure. That's crazy. I wonder if I should have my house vacated while they unload the tiles.Yes.
On our Solarroof, they used a crane to offload the tiles from a truck directly to the roof. The pallet of tiles never touched the roof since it was very heavy. The crew took each tile from the pallet as it was held by the crane inches above the roof, and placed the tile vertically in the racks. When they were mounting the tiles on the roof, they took them from the rack to the final position.
Here is what the hoisting looks like,
Yeah, they really got this down to a T now. It's nice.Wow they did demo work and underlayment before the tiles were sitting on pallets at the site? Talk about just-in-time logistical bravery...
Interesting - not what was done for us. Pallets were placed in the driveway, and they had a ladder hoist to bring the material up. Perhaps size of the job and/or potential difficulty reaching the roof is why they did not bother with that for us.Yes.

I would not worry about it. For us, the worse was when they went around renailing or resetting nails in every piece of the decking. A whole day of hammering. I thought the ceiling was going to come down!I was thinking something like that but wasn't sure. That's crazy. I wonder if I should have my house vacated while they unload the tiles.
Wow. Direct the Buffallo factor to the job site!Interesting - not what was done for us. Pallets were placed in the driveway, and they had a ladder hoist to bring the material up. Perhaps size of the job and/or potential difficulty reaching the roof is why they did not bother with that for us.
Of course, we were also on the just-in-time delivery model and the crew actually had about half a day where they didn't have much to do because the next shipment of PV tiles was delayed (apparently because the driver bringing them directly from Bufalo went to the wrong location.)
How many square ~ 23? It would probably take 7 to 9 days to install a similar concrete tile roof . Your roof is of moderate but typical complexity. The number of workers (*?) and the way they are working, while not excessive, is more then I would expect for a tile roof. But what gets me is the way they are working—one has to wonder if Tesla did any operations research.
