Like many of its experimental products, Tesla’s Solar Roof — a solar panel array engineered to look like discreet roof tiles — has been a stunning failure. Nowhere is that flop more apparent than on the roof of Ambrose Conroy, a California homeowner who’s spent over six years battling with Tesla over the solar installation from hell.
According to Electrek, the whole saga began back in 2020, when Conroy entered an agreement to buy a 13.1 kW photovoltaic system from Tesla. Though the process was supposed to take a few weeks, it ran years late, as compounding errors and logistical disasters threw the project into chaos.
Tesla, Fraudulent for Selling Junk.
A judge blasts?
Already keyword blocked “slams” here so I guess “blasts” is next.
Yes, under the bench. It’s not fun for whoever has to clean it up. It’s a kink thing to do it in front of a jury.
Dredd: “Spearmint Lifesavers”.
Lawgiver: “Spearmint Lifesavers are Unavailable, Judge Dredd. Would you like Guava Lifesavers instead?”
Dredd: “Spearmint. Lifesavers”.
Lawgiver: “Spearmint Lifesavers are Unavailable, Judge Dredd. Would you like some Durian Lifesavers instead?”
Dredd: "Spearmint!
Lifesavers!"
Lawgiver: “Spearmint Lifesavers are Unavailable, Judge Dredd … ACK! N-no! Don’t put me up there!”
Judge Death: “All crime is committed by the living. Therefore, life itself is a crime! I have come to jud- URK!”
Lawgiver: (muffled) “Hey! It smells like death in here!”
Judge used Blast!
…
It’s not very effective…
I’m sure they are truly “blasted.” Call me when they get fined enough to reverse all profits from the fraud.
Weird, I had the Tesla Solar Roof installed in… 2019? 2020? and it worked great the 5 years I lived in that house.
You can get a bad product sometimes in a batch of good ones, but you don’t accidentally get working solar from a batch of black glass.
I’m in no way defending or commenting on Elon, but to call the product “junk that doesn’t work” is overstating things.
Read the article and then read the source article from Elektrek. Tesla already admitted liability for breach of contract, warranty and negligence for a $82k contract with a deadline of a few weeks that was dragged over two years and lead to $2.5 million in damages. This isn’t some product like a phone that was defective, this is way worse.
They were so good hardly anyone wanted them and now Tesla has discontinued another one of Musk’s genius scams, I mean ideas… That’s great you are happy but mamy other users reported their roofs were constantly underproducing electricity, and in some cases their roof underlayment even melted. Good luck with your discontinued system.
Or Tesla knew the product they were sending her was defective and sent it anyway?
Knowing “a product” is defective doesn’t mean “every product”.
Elon is the most successful sleazy car salesman.
Call me crazy but the headline “Tesla found liable for fraud by judge in court” is both more accurate and better bait than the exhausted bLaStEdDdDD!1 clickbait bullshit.
Binturong BLASTS Futurism for clickbait bullshit headline
Never forget what this man is.
He’s a criminal.
That’s offensive to criminals and inadequate to Elon. There are plenty of decent folks behind bars. Even the bad ones usually only hurt a small number of people, they didn’t threaten the whole country and its future and tear apart its systems of government. Muskrat is way, way worse than the vast majority of them.
Can Musk get the Elizabeth Holmes treatment now?
Watching the dropout and Nathan fielders you can see everything, the biggest confusion I had was that I fundamentally don’t understand what she did differently to Elon and why he’s not also in jail
You mean a couple award winning documentaries or the decade plus of jail time?
Personally, I’m leaning towards the latter
I’d take both frankly.
The latter, plus the zeroing out of networth.
Oh a couple of award winning documentaries about his downfall wouldn’t hurt either.
But they have to be humiliating, and he has to watch them from prison.
No because Musk hasnt fucked over the royal caste yet
It’s amazing the cars came out as good as they did. Imagine where we would be with competent people?
The cars that were still rooted in the original founders were good. He was shedding quality as soon as he got the reputation up enough to get sales and turn profit.
Model S is still unbeatable. I will continue to drive it till wheels fall off. Good leather, carbon, the alcatara but not matterial i really like, sound is AMAZING, speed and range obviously (105kW pack and 3.5s 0 to 60 is basically as good as I’ll ever need). The autopilot is still amazing by comparison, but you know what it also does that literally no other car does well? Fucking ADAS, i have never turned off lane keep assist off, because it works and isn’t obnoxious as every other car I’ve test driven made in the past 6 years.
It’s such a joke, car manufacturers try to make it “as easy to turn off” as they can legally get away with it… how about you make it fucking work?
I love EVs, genuinely spend my time looking up reviews, going for test drives and i going to EV in person shows. I have drove +20 EVs and owned several. There’s nothing else out there and it sucks. Tesla stopped inventing several years ago and it sucks because everyone else is 10 years behind and they still haven’t caught up to where tesla was in 2018.
Model S is/was priced as a Mercedes EQS but has a shorter range by 70km. For that price you can get two Opel Grandland Electric
Look to Hyundai or some of the Chinese makes. Hyundai with the N models is only make that is actually making anything different from other EVs
The car company pre-dates Elon’s Ketamine. Same applies to Space-X.
Cybertruck? ElonK
Kick flipping roadster? ElonK
Starship to Mars? ElonKElonK is what they call a Pigeon CEO. He shows up, shits everywhere, then flies off again until the next time.
Ah the old swoop and poop. Been hit by that too many times
We call those Seagull managers
The seagull manager also screams a lot, and the pigeon manager flips the board.
Lol. That one is new to me. I’ll have to remember it.
Better way of phrasing it: Flies in, shits all over everything, struts around like he’s the best and then flies out.
The Mars thing started way before the Ketamine
He just used to hide the ketamine better
From what I understand their home batteries are well regarded too.
I had solar installed on my house this year, Tesla was never in the running because I don’t buy Nazi shit but doing my research there was a lot of positive things said about it.
I went sigenergy instead and it has been amazing.
I read a long time ago the Powerwall was made as an afterthought for what to do with old batteries from dead or salvaged teslas. They would strip the packs, test the individual cells and those that pass went into powerwalls.
Honestly I have no problem with that, in fact I wish it was more common, seems a good way to get extra life out of a big battery.
Cars are a product of before felon, they had thebdesign and process down. After him are the failure products, cybercuck, power wall, solar etc… Even star link has been a cluster fuck.
Let’s not forget Hyperloop.
No, nooooonono… absolutely let’s forget
Starlink works well, what do you mean?
The power wall as far as I’m aware is the only thing post Elon that worked out well tho.
Elon Musk should be burried alive.
Keep going there’s WAY MORE fraud.
This seems like a summarized version of this article from Electrek.
I’m not convinced they do any original reporting either.
Blasts
Yeah, lol. Call me back when the judge is done “blasting” and starts handing out fines and/or prison sentences.
Back in the day kids would always see signs, and even films, warning them of the dangers of playing with blasting caps, which were presumably lying about all over the place though I somehow never found one. Like this. I guess the judge didn’t get the message.
Slams!
Fistfucks!
I’d like to see this one at some point. Naturally only for a “stern talking-to”
Jeez, we’re at the point where I had to read “discreet” twice because I didn’t expect it to be correct.
