> At the event, Musk said Tesla's roof would price competitively with normal roofs and could even cost less.

I think we may need to start applying a "multiplier" to any costs or delivery dates that Elon mentions. I love him to death but he does have quite a history of underestimating these things.



At the roof launch event, Elon was very clear that it priced competitively with high-end roofs. And that appears to be what the actual price competes with.


He may have also been implicitly including an offset for the energy cost. A bit disingenuous, but they've done that before.
