Tesla solar roof - orders being taken next week

[J.P.M.]

Given the small amount of irradiance available to a vehicle roof due to the small area when compared to the relatively large energy requirement of the vehicle, and unless the option is free, that may be another way to separate ignorant fools from their money.

I wonder how long delivery will take . I expect it may be like the Model 3, leave a deposit and we will let you know someday when you might get them delivered.

It will be interesting how they do all the details like interconnecting myriads of panels and how to fit standard segments onto an inevitably non standard roof.
