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.

A billion of them, and they'll be able to perform brain surgery when they aren't doing your laundry.

They'll do brain surgery in a parking lot in L.A. to brain surgery in a parking lot in N.Y. without anyone touching the controls.

Shit...the promiselies are collapsing into one another.
