Like many of its experimental products, Tesla’s Solar Roof — a solar panel array engineered to look like discreet roof tiles — has been a stunning failure. Nowhere is that flop more apparent than on the roof of Ambrose Conroy, a California homeowner who’s spent over six years battling with Tesla over the solar installation from hell.
According to Electrek, the whole saga began back in 2020, when Conroy entered an agreement to buy a 13.1 kW photovoltaic system from Tesla. Though the process was supposed to take a few weeks, it ran years late, as compounding errors and logistical disasters threw the project into chaos.
It’s amazing the cars came out as good as they did. Imagine where we would be with competent people?
The cars that were still rooted in the original founders were good. He was shedding quality as soon as he got the reputation up enough to get sales and turn profit.
Model S is still unbeatable. I will continue to drive it till wheels fall off. Good leather, carbon, the alcatara but not matterial i really like, sound is AMAZING, speed and range obviously (105kW pack and 3.5s 0 to 60 is basically as good as I’ll ever need). The autopilot is still amazing by comparison, but you know what it also does that literally no other car does well? Fucking ADAS, i have never turned off lane keep assist off, because it works and isn’t obnoxious as every other car I’ve test driven made in the past 6 years.
It’s such a joke, car manufacturers try to make it “as easy to turn off” as they can legally get away with it… how about you make it fucking work?
I love EVs, genuinely spend my time looking up reviews, going for test drives and i going to EV in person shows. I have drove +20 EVs and owned several. There’s nothing else out there and it sucks. Tesla stopped inventing several years ago and it sucks because everyone else is 10 years behind and they still haven’t caught up to where tesla was in 2018.
Look to Hyundai or some of the Chinese makes. Hyundai with the N models is only make that is actually making anything different from other EVs
The car company pre-dates Elon’s Ketamine. Same applies to Space-X.
Cybertruck? ElonK
Kick flipping roadster? ElonK
Starship to Mars? ElonK
ElonK is what they call a Pigeon CEO. He shows up, shits everywhere, then flies off again until the next time.
Ah the old swoop and poop. Been hit by that too many times
We call those Seagull managers
The seagull manager also screams a lot, and the pigeon manager flips the board.
Lol. That one is new to me. I’ll have to remember it.
Better way of phrasing it: Flies in, shits all over everything, struts around like he’s the best and then flies out.
The Mars thing started way before the Ketamine
He just used to hide the ketamine better
From what I understand their home batteries are well regarded too.
I had solar installed on my house this year, Tesla was never in the running because I don’t buy Nazi shit but doing my research there was a lot of positive things said about it.
I went sigenergy instead and it has been amazing.
Cars are a product of before felon, they had thebdesign and process down. After him are the failure products, cybercuck, power wall, solar etc… Even star link has been a cluster fuck.
Starlink works well, what do you mean?
Let’s not forget Hyperloop.
No, nooooonono… absolutely let’s forget
The power wall as far as I’m aware is the only thing post Elon that worked out well tho.
