Tesla’s solar roof is dead. Here’s what went wrong
Tesla removed all public references to its solar roof, and the product’s website now redirects to a generic solar page, confirming its discontinuation. The roof never achieved its target of 1,000 weekly installations, averaging only 20-40 in 2022, and suffered from high costs, manufacturing complexity, heat-induced efficiency losses, and under-production compared to promised output.
