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.

    Yeah, lol. Call me back when the judge is done “blasting” and starts handing out fines and/or prison sentences.

      Back in the day kids would always see signs, and even films, warning them of the dangers of playing with blasting caps, which were presumably lying about all over the place though I somehow never found one. Like this. I guess the judge didn’t get the message.
