This is an awesome product and a big disruptor. Has anyone done the math on the revenues and profitability for Tesla? On the one hand it will sell for more than the typical 10-20K roof job. But then it is supposed to last 50years. What are the chances that Tesla will even be around in 50years?
The way SolarCity works, you don't own the panels SolarCity does. So ostensibly you would finance the roof and then pay a locked in price per kWh which would be recurring revenue for Tesla even after the roof is paid off.
