His pitch on the solar tiles that would cost* at or less a typical shingled roof had me incredibly sold, but it seems that has taken a back seat as of late in his endeavors. Yeah, would love an electric car, but until they hit the $35k price point, it isn't happening anytime soon for me. But a fairly priced solar setup for home? Sign me up.

* not sure if it was initial cost or cost over the life of plus the energy savings, I don't remember nor really care. Either is fine by me.

It is over the life of shingles plus energy. That won't be true of the first few years of sales.

As an upside, I think the comparison is with one roof replacement, which is supposed to be done every 8-20 years. Tesla tiles should last 100 years.

When I can buy a reliable $5k ICE car (which are the kind of cars I drive) I don't see an EV ever really making sense.
