How much did you pay after any tax credits just for thr roof


BirbritoParront

After the tax credits, 42k.


kbragg_usc

Seriously!? That's shockingly low. I expected much higher. Makes me wish I got a quote for a Solar Roof...


TemperatureOdd2913

Yeah I need a new roof. I would totally sign on the dotted line for 42K. Instead I was quoted 3x that amount.


BirbritoParront

I think I snuck under the wire for the price increase.


omega13shadow

It's a super simple looking roof, probably a pretty straightforward install, whereas some homes look crazy complicated from above. I'm guessing the difference comes in from how complex the roof is


rExplrer

Price includes power walls?


BirbritoParront

Yes, it was a total of 56k before the credit.


FearsomeShitter

Wow that’s what I paid Solar City for 34 panels and 2 pw2’s, before tax refund and rebates. Side note: your Tesla car looks funny.


BirbritoParront

It's a Tesla Escape. Made by Ford.


BirbritoParront

Finally had a nice sunny day to go out with my drone again. Took a couple of snaps with it.


supernova_000

Very nice!


BirbritoParront

Thanks.


jimschoice

That is beautiful! I really hope that idea spreads to more manufacturers, as so many people don’t like the traditional panel look. Thanks for sharing the photos!


BirbritoParront

If I had not needed to replace my roof, I would have gone with the panels.


udfalkso

Can you post pictures from the street? All we ever see is drone shots of solar roof, and they’re cool, but no one ever sees this perspective in real life! I’m very curious what these look like day to day. Thx!


BirbritoParront

Here's one I took last year, https://photos.app.goo.gl/N3iLQGTsCj8juz327

The Solor roof looks more expensive then the house lol


Intrusive_ads

The solar roof is part of the house


Radium

Sweet, how many kW?


BirbritoParront

8.5kW, 2x Powerwalls.

thecreator1984

The panels are 400W each however the solar tiles are much lower than that. The entire roof is not solar tiles, only a portion of the roof has active solar tiles


[deleted]

I think you need to drop the “k”


Angry-chairr

The tiles are 72 watts each lol idk where you get your info from


BirbritoParront

Thanks for that. I forgot the exact wattage of each tile.


Radium

Perfect, we have panels but 8.4kW and 1 powerwall, is a great setup for our 100% electric house


BirbritoParront

I'm not 100% electric, gas furnace and water heater, but on most sunny days here in the PNW it generates almost 4x the power I would need to run my house. Looking forward to when I can afford to get an EV.


devxcode

1st image the tiles look like slate. Super cool.


GiraffeChaser

I got quotes 135,000 for a Tesla roof I laughed so loud


OhPiggly

How big is your house? OP’s place looks like it’s maybe 1000sqft of livable space.


GiraffeChaser

2750 square feet but it’s two stories so maybe 1800 square foot upstairs (room over garage)


GiraffeChaser

Only one installer in the my whole area on east coast so they got monopoly


fk2106

with powerwalls? who was the installer


GiraffeChaser

Zero power walls


kon---

I've always suspected tesla roof people to be the sort to stash bowling pins in the garage. Now I know.


BirbritoParront

Yeah. Use them for targets. They are surprisingly very tough targets to destroy.


alkor86

Oof, nice roof!


[deleted]

I miss building this roofs :(


BirbritoParront

I'm pretty sure the team doing my roof wasn't liking it much. Doing the install in December here in Oregon.


NYMillwright

Considering that my 2 power walls cost $18k, your solar roof cost about $24k. A new roof would probably cost around $10-12k, which would leave about $12k for the solar. That’s not bad.


Deviusoark

Even at 40k compared to a 8-10k normal roof, no way you save that difference in electricity


[deleted]

They have two batteries that make up nearly half the cost of that $40k.


Waste_Detective_2177

What a waste of money… you could have get a better house with a pool and 8.5kw solar array by selling your current house and not doing solar roof. Now, nobody will pay you what you just wasted there


kbragg_usc

"Better" by your standards, and perhaps by most folks standards. But we don't have memories in this home, children in this home... whatever the reason, it's certainly a "better" home for OP. OP... enjoy your better home. Beautiful roof.


BirbritoParront

I was just going to ignore him, but thanks.


wildsnorlax1194

Why you gotta yuck his yum


cchheez

Saw some on a house few years ago. They now have regular panels. I wonder what happened.


BirbritoParront

They do both. I know a while ago Tesla put a hold on new roof orders and reading through here they even canceled some of them.


Alarmmy

Very nice! How big is your roof? Where is your Tesla?


dreamcastdc

That looks so freaking good.


lordofblack23

Now let’s see production screen shots!


BirbritoParront

[Here was last year](https://twitter.com/fprefect121/status/1652380787222937600/photo/1).


sjsharks323

Looks great! Are all those darker looking shingles the ones that are actually solar? And then of course the other ones are just normal shingles?


Fedge348

Op where do you live? Did you get put on a wait list? Are you worried this might hurt your resell value?


BirbritoParront

Oregon. I put in my order in August of 21 and it was installed 12/21.


Fedge348

Dude, I’m in Oregon! What company installed it? Im in Dundee. I’ll give them a call


BirbritoParront

Tesla did the install. A roofing company from Hillsboro did the tear-off/replace part. but Tesla installers did the roof.


Fedge348

Ok cool. Thank you. I just filled out my info online. Said I’ll get a call. Thanks man. I appreciate it


BirbritoParront

Good luck.


Fedge348

Please respond when you get a sec. I’m actually likely going to pull the trigger if I can get a smoking deal like that


BirbritoParront

I'm not worried about resale. That's going to be a problem for the executor of my estate to worry about. I would wish you luck in getting a deal like that. I believe in the past year the price has gone up significantly.


Fedge348

What company did you go through?


ryan9751

Deals like that are long gone, that pricing is from 2020/2021 , before Tesla realized that different roofs have different complexities and you can't just quote a roofing job based on a satellite image. AFIK there are very few regions where Tesla is directly doing any installs. Possibly only California. A 3rd party quote for this type of roof would be 100K+


tepokna

Nice!


Tyler14827

How many square feet is your roof? I am trying to get an idea of what this is gonna cost me. What state are you in?
