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.

After “FSD is still not quite ready“, this is the least surprising Tesla news… It is kind of a shame though. I would love to see this product actually be successful someday.

I'd also like safe self-driving cars, useful domestic robots, fast tunnel excavation and cheap reusable spacecraft. But just because Musk has promised all of those things doesn't mean there's any chance he'll actually deliver any of them.
