There are, and always will be, observations to be made about that company and its founders.
The reality of the Powerwall (along with the accompanying Gateway) is that it's without a doubt a cutting edge product and has NO peer at present in terms of what it provides to the homeowner. Not only am I a Tesla certified installer, I also installed one on my legacy NEM system at home two years ago and it has worked flawlessly. (And that doesn't even include the coolness factor of the app.) And lest anyone among this esteemed Wrenches group believe that I'm some shill for Tesla, I've been in the solar field for 41 years and do not tend to hyperbole or BS. marco On Thursday, July 25, 2019, Mark Frye <[email protected]> wrote: > Uh, Looking at what is happening with Tesla's share price, I am not sure I > would want to be "investing" in the products of the neglected solar > division.
