MUSK READS: TESLA SOLAR ROOF V3 RAMPS UP

Tesla’s solar glass roof is shipping out in higher numbers, if social media reports are anything to go by. The third-generation tiles were unveiled in October 2019 promising faster install times and greater resilience as part of a planned ramp-up to reach a broader audience. Musk originally unveiled the roof back in November 2016, focusing on how the tiles look like a regular roof to the untrained eye. Bar a smattering of installations, the roof remained a relatively obscure product. The third-generation roof looks set to change that. One of the lucky recipients of the new roof is Alex Guichet, who shared his experiences with his 10.37-kilowatt Solar Roof through a specially designed website. The review even includes near-real-time readouts from Guichet’s roof demonstrating the amount of energy it’s harvesting.
