I have a signed contract for Tesla Solar Roof. Everything was approved and then Tesla tried raising the price on me 50%. It’s a clear breach of contract. Now people are leaving my voicemails saying BS like I need to sign the new contract, which I don’t and which I won’t. Can you please tell me why you are doing this? What are internal people saying about this? It’s clearly illegal!

    LOL, if you trust Tesla and Elon then the joke is on you brother.

    P.S. This comment has nothing to do with who my current employer is.

    My understanding: they botched the pricing because they didn't realize the complexities of different roofs, so now they're trying to bait and switch although it wasn't their original intention. They are just trying to avoid losing a ton of $ but at the expense of terrible customer experience.

    Elon fired like a dozen execs/VPs in energy because of this mistake with pricing, there are now 2 class action lawsuits forming against Tesla because of this breach of contract. There is a big push in Tesla to get energy to become profitable ASAP.

    It's all just sad and embarrassing. Not much else to say about it, and it's indefensible.

      Feel free to chime in, most of that is public knowledge.

      Agree with the above. Tesla was losing money on each solar roof installed (mostly from installation costs). Had to raise price which pissed off customers. We did allow customers to obviously back out of their contract if they don’t want to accept the new price...

    They failed to take inflation into account. Tell them to use their bitcoin gains to cover your increased amount.

    They added $9k to mine last minute because they wanted to replace all the roof plywood. I went with solar panels instead, which I am very happy with
