Roobka Qorraxda ee Tesla wuu dhacay — waxaana sabab u ah khaldan iyo qiimo sare
Tesla waa ka baxday warbixinta rasmiga ah ee roobka qorraxda ee website-keeda, iyadoo bogga rasmiga ah uu u wareegayo bogga guud ee qorraxda. Haddii ay tahay inay tahay mid ka mid ah mashruucyada ugu adag ee Tesla, waxaa la sheegay inay u baahday inay ku guulaysato 1,000 dhisme bishii, laakiin 2022 ayay ku guulaysatay 20 ilaa 40 kaliya.
Bogga Tesla wuxuu ka baxay warbixinta roobka qorraxda

Electrek wuxuu ahaa warbaahinta ugu horreysay ee sheegay in roobka qorraxdu uu ka baxay, iyadoo TechCrunch ay xaqiijisay in bogga rasmiga ah uu u wareegayo bogga guud ee qorraxda. Waxaa sidoo kale la sheegay in dhammaan bogagga taageerada ay u wareegeen bogga guud, taas oo muujinaysa in Tesla ay diyaar u tahay inay ka baxdo roobka qorraxda.
Qiimaha sare iyo khaldan ee roobka qorraxda
Roobka qorraxda ee Tesla wuxuu ahaa mid aad u qaalisan, iyadoo qof walba uu heli karo qiimo dhan $200,000. Waxaa sidoo kale la sheegay in qaybaha aan qorraxda ahayn ay isku dhacaan, iyadoo qorraxda hoose ay u dhacdo. Tani waxay muujinaysaa in roobka qorraxdu uu ahaa mid aad u adag.

Shirkadaha kale ee raadinaya suuqa roobka qorraxda
Shirkadaha kale ee raadinaya suuqa roobka qorraxda waxaa ka mid ah GAF iyo Merlin Solar, iyadoo Tesla ay ku guulaysatay inay ka baxdo roobka qorraxda. Waxaa sidoo kale la sheegay in shirkadaha kale ay raadinayaan inay ku guulaysadaan suuqa roobka qorraxda.

Tesla has quietly removed all public references to its solar roof from its website, redirecting visitors to its standard solar panel page. The move signals the end of a product that once promised to blend luxury aesthetics with clean energy but ultimately failed to meet its ambitious targets.
The Solar Roof Is Officially Gone
Tesla has scrubbed all public-facing mentions of the solar roof from its website, with the dedicated URL now redirecting to a generic solar landing page. All support pages have followed suit, confirming the product's removal from the company's official channels. Electrek was the first outlet to report on the product's disappearance, while TechCrunch has since verified the redirects across the site.
Despite the official shutdown, two solar installers told TechCrunch that their companies were still offering the solar roof, though one noted that availability would depend on the timeline of the project. This suggests Tesla is working to offload existing inventory rather than fully abandoning the product line.
Ambitious Goals Collided With Reality
Tesla had lofty goals for the solar roof, aiming for 1,000 installations per week at launch. However, after years of refinement and process improvement, the project managed only between 20 and 40 installations per week as of 2022, far below the initial target. The product was positioned as a luxury item, with people reporting quotes of $200,000 to install one, making it an eye-wateringly expensive option compared to traditional solar panels.
The solar roof proved an aberration compared to regular solar panels, which dropped in price due to mass production of standardized solar cells. While the roof might have used standard cells, the tiles were unique to the system, requiring Tesla to design and buy its own manufacturing equipment. When sales did not materialize as expected, the per-unit cost of that equipment rose significantly.
Physics and Design Flaws Weighed Heavily
Reports indicated the solar roof's non-solar parts warping and roof underlayment melting, raising concerns about the product's durability. Additionally, there were reports of underproduction, where the solar roof system was not generating as much electricity as Tesla had claimed. Voltage tends to decline by about half a percent for every degree Celsius increase in temperature, which may have contributed to the efficiency losses.
Tesla's solar roof had a much smaller gap between the panels and the roof compared to regular solar panels, which may have led to high temperatures that robbed the cells of some efficiency. Regular solar panels cope with this by leaving a gap between the panels and the roof, allowing for some airflow to cool things off. These design challenges, combined with the product's high cost, ultimately made the solar roof an unviable offering for most consumers.
