TESLA SOLAR ROOF: ELON MUSK OUTLINES UPGRADES FOR THIS YEAR AND BEYOND

The Tesla Solar Roof is in for a sunny year, based on Elon Musk's latest comments. The Tesla CEO declared to his 31 million Twitter followers late Monday night that tweaks to the solar energy tile lineup would "hopefully" come later this year, while expressing interest in future upgrades that could make the tiles more snow resistant. "The degree to which SolarGlass will positively effect the esthetics & energy sustainability of neighborhoods throughout the world is not yet well appreciated," Musk wrote on his Twitter page. "This is a very important product." It's a marked turnaround for the product, which has suffered a slow start since its unveiling in October 2016. The tiles were detailed during a presentation on the set of Desperate Housewives as part of a vision of the future.
