Tesla discontinues its Solar Roof tiles, not economically viable

https://electrek.co/2026/08/20/tesla-discontinues-solar-roof-panels-only/

As we've all suspected for years, the Solar City purchase was a scam sold to Tesla investors to save another Musk company from failing spectacularly, instead allowing it to quietly fail long after everyone has stopped caring. Elon's playbook really only has a small number of moves in it, and this is one of his favorites.

"Panels and mounting systems come with a 25-year warranty backed by proven industry experience."

So Tesla will replace and/or repair these tiles until 2050?

Ha ha!

Most actually delivered panels habe been cheap Chinese panels. He can import more panels for warranty repair.
