Master Plan jewel. Beautiful tiles, custom jobs, cost that does not beat a rack of silicon. Install capacity never industrialised. Do not let Megapack GWh launder this slip.

Solar — tiles slipped, storage compounds
Solar Roof remains the Master Plan jewel that did not industrialise. Buffalo exists. Ground-mount silicon exists. Tesla’s energy GWh is storage-led. There is no public live feed of roofs completed today.

Live GWh is Tesla energy, storage-led. A megawatt-hour of Megapack is not a tile.
No live roof-install feed
The live energy number on this desk is Tesla’s reported storage-led GWh, not a Solar Roof install counter. There is no public live feed of roofs completed today. A watt-hour of Megapack is not a tile.
Buffalo modules
34%28–42%
Giga New York was supposed to print the roofs. A river campus is not product-market fit. Tax-credit politics sat on this file for a decade.
Ground-mount silicon
30%20–40%
Utility-scale racks exist in the world. Tesla’s energy P&L is not a solar-farm developer story. Storage is the compounder.

Tesla does not publish daily roof installs
Policy / product heat
Where the file is hot. Net metering and attach outrank the roof SKU. Estimates, not a utility API.
Promised
Every roof a Tesla. Beautiful tiles. Then the grid.
Shipped
Some roofs. A solar business that is not the growth engine. Storage is the energy P&L.
Missing
Cost-down that beats a rack of silicon. Install capacity. A roof that is not a custom job.

Stills
Reconstruction — wet glass tiles. Distinct from the Solar Roof still on Energy. Still a custom job. 
Reconstruction — utility PV field. Ground-mount silicon is not a Tesla Roof SKU. 
Reconstruction — Buffalo solar factory. A river campus is not product-market fit.
