New panels look pretty sweet, but most importantly they're entirely US made. Tesla's going to make a huge impact with these in 2018 as part of a new PPA offering.

We have enough details to cover #1 an #3.Without any installation details or fire mitigation testing data/results from Tesla, there's no way we can guess at the feasibility of #1-3. If Tesla hasn't factored these things in, that's the biggest concern. I'm sure they have as it's probably compulsory for UL compliance but I'm no governance expert. And, d'oh, yeah your Portland, ME scenario's also legit!
Got a note today from a guy I know in CA:
"just got call from TESLA about power walls and solar for our .... ca, they are starting this here in CA in a month"
They do. But keep in mind, you're looking at a 2 dimensional picture of a mix of 2D and 3D roofing surfaces. I wonder if it looks as good in person.Thanks for posting. In photographs at least, that looks surprisingly good on those Spanish tile roofs
I contacted the company and asked if there were any installations near mean Orange County, CA. He said that there is an approved contractor nearby and that he would let me know when they had some installations that I could see. That was over a month ago and I've still heard nothing yet.They do. But keep in mind, you're looking at a 2 dimensional picture of a mix of 2D and 3D roofing surfaces.

I am disappointed to see the unequal conditions of this breakage demonstration.
Did they mention which two styles are delayed?
Since SolarRoof is not available until late 2018, there's no choice to be made right now anyway. Cost of solar roof is supposedly $22 per square foot on average, which for most houses is about three times cost of solar panels added on to an existing roof.Has anyone got a quote on price of solar roof versus solar panels? I am debating whether to install roof + panels or do solar roof? Right now my roof is fine.
Why is that your advice? Price, performance, install cost?get them from anyone other than Solar City/Tesla Energy
