You do realize that Tesla Solar Roof is the ONLY solar product that can produce 100% of your energy need right? Solar panels require huge roofs facing the right direction, in which the wrong direction reduces efficiency rapidly. Solar roof with the ability to have every tile generating power. This is actually a huge deal. I had a huge roof being a single story house facing the right direction and has 115% of what I need(while the other 15% is being used to charge my car). Most people doesn't have this luxury so this product is pretty important to have 100% sustainability!

You are not alone no one did. Since a longer time I talk about the tremendous opportunity of the TE in particular battery business but even this forum does discount it down to zero for reasons I have a hard time to understand as a long term investor.
All I can say is its wise to listen to Elon carefully and he talked many times about Battery business to be at least as large as autonomous. A huge business can be found in solar too.
The next level which is hard to comprehend for many is that the sum of all that different businesses verticaly integrated is larger than the sum of its elements.
I believe WallStreet is a few million lightyears away to understand that.
Just my 2c, but I think Elon needs to repeat the just finished “solar roof launch” conference call as an onsite media event at a house with it installed (like the original tile announcement)

Are you talking about solar roof or sun light in general ?
I couldn't listen in, so sorry if this was covered at some point, but I've been pretty skeptical on Solar Roof up to this point. As has been mentioned, it's a much more logistically difficult process installing roofs vs selling cars. Did they talk about how they plan to do that. Are they buying out local construction companies?
And more importantly, have they talked about marketing? With cars, people can clearly see the Tesla logos and styling, acting as passive advertisement for the company. I'm not sure how the Solar Roof is going to accomplish that. It may require them to break from character and go with a more conventional marketing campaign.

Indeed, they did not. Apparently they chose not to embarrass anyone.
I would bet the average will be almost double that. I put my own house in for an estimate and was quite surprised at how much bigger my roof is than what I thought, and the majority of the houses getting the solar roofs will be much larger than my house.

If you look at NW of US, the yellow makes an extra effort to dip into Seattle.Compared to us they do
They will have their own teams but they will also cooperate with local installers (because they don't screw customers over like car dealerships do).

I'm not so sure about your claim. My small 2300 sqft home uses 60-100kwh per day with my Tesla charging mostly at home.
If I get 75% max of my ~3000sqft roof as active tiles, maybe I get a 15kw system? Since the area I live in (SWFL) gets about 6 hours a day of good strong sunlight, then 15 x 5 = 89kwh if I did that right. So MOST days it could produce enough. Now, my wife wants a Model Y (or X) next year. If we had 2 cars charging, no way the solar roof could generate enough without using grid energy.

Well, we might not have sunlight during the winter, but we do have the rains to clean the sunroof and keep its efficiency up.
Besides, global warming means we get more sun every year.
I didn't realize global warming altered the planet's axial tilt.
I feel fortunate to live on the sunny side of the state where we don't experience "The Big Dark" the Times has been lamenting all week...
Politics not withstanding...

That make zero sense. Unfortunately like a lot of the "global warming" hype.
Ummm, because it doesn’t affect this quarter’s financials, which is as far as a lot of the market can see
One thing I have been wondering - does anyone have a good explanation as to why after share price gapped up over night after the earnings report, it stayed flat over the course of the whole day yesterday only to start running up again today? To me this does not seem like an organic stock movement (or better: lack thereof), more like something engineered. Also, don´t remember having seen this before after an earnings report.

Don't get me wrong, I want to be able to power my entire home without grid. I want to be able to afford enough power walls in order to never need the grid. I just don't think we are there yet. I do think Tesla and Elon will keep pushing the cost curve down and possibly in a decade this would be a reality.
