Wow, only 33k estimated? That's a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Admittedly, the parameters are unknown from the screen shot image, so it could be the basic Bollinger roof, but still.

Be sure to turn incentives off.
But yes, for a product that's instead of a roof, not on top of the cost, that's not bad!
Installation starts in November!

Can someone please send Tesla some good music?
This elevator sound twice a week just kills me....

Company I worked for would only fill once a season on our MIV's "to expensive use a longer runway"
Fire Away!
He was simply putting the focus on what really matters: the vehicles (3/Y/truck/semi) that will sell in the hundreds of thousands/millions of units annually (rather than the relatively small S?X sales). Tesla wont stop selling and upgrading luxury vehicles, and that couldn’t be more evident with Plaid and Roadster 2.0 coming.
Our local Reno TV station did a piece on the Gigafactory and the following statement stood out for me:
KOLO 8: Sept 2019
"We're in the final assembly of the drive unit area so we actually make all of the drive units for Model 3 and now we're making Model S and Model X units as well...it's what gives the Tesla its signature speed, acceleration, power, and torque." said Vice President of Operations, Chris Lister....The drive unit manufacturing line is 90 percent automated. "
I've been trying to explain over on SA - what this says about Tesla. Tesla would only switch the production of drive units for the Model S/X to Sparks, Nevada - another 250 miles from Fremont - if there was a compelling reason. It has to be significantly cheaper and it has to involve components already made for the Model 3. Otherwise you'd leave it alone. And, I'd wager that the process which in Nevada is 90% automated was a much lower percentage of automation in California.
Tesla found a way to make a component for the Model S/X cheaper..and followed up. This is why COGS are down.

Other stats on that $33,500* quote/system -- 10kW system estimated to produce 40kWh per day.
Edit: Also, unclear if it includes a powerwall. I'm assuming not.

Rob Maurer did a comparison from Tesla's website comparing cost for 3k sq ft from yesterday to today, and yes, much MUCH more cost-effective:

small = 1 power pack medium solar roof 2 power pack and large solar roof 3 power pack include
This sounds like his conviction is starting to crack at least a bit:
"I still believe that $TSLA is an operationally deficient company that can’t sustain profitability and its stock price is disconnected from reality. (But I may just be protecting my ego)"

Get that pacemaker checked b4 Monday. It promised to be another eye opener...
I'm looking forward to the upcoming articles about how the recent 25%+ stock increase is actually a bad sign and further proof of Tesla's imminent bankruptcy.
