Tesla Solar Roof does not meet 2014 electrical code ?

[ElectricTundra]

Two different people from two different solar companies who both sell Tesla Powerwall have told me that Tesla Solar Roof does not meet the 2014 NEC and so cannot be installed in states that have adopted 2014. However, California has adopted 2014 and I believe Ohio has as well which are the two states where we're fairly confident roofs have been installed.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? Or are these guys expecting that they won't be able to sell/install the roof so are using FUD.

Thanks,

...California has adopted 2014...

Isn't Eon Musk's home with Solar Roof in California?

Can/have they said what exactly doesn’t meet code?

is it really surprising that people from other solar companies tell you it is not compliant.... ?

LOL - FUD - Fear Uncertainty and Doubt - sales 101. Even Tesla uses it.

Liars, all of them. Should be in jail.

Not too surprisingly, nope.

Elon's houses are in California (unless he owns houses in other states that I don't know anything about) but I'm pretty sure the house in that photos belongs to J.B. Straubel, who also lives in California but about 400 miles north of Elon, in the Woodside area.

And therein lies a tale.

Tall tale, I'm guessing.
