Honestly I don’t even remember making the original post, but looking back looks like Tesla could have been successfully shorted 3 times in last year. Wife got her $1000 deposit back, within a week I think. Would still buy one if the numbers worked but they just don’t seem to at the moment. Here’s what it would take
1) Solar system making way more electricity than we use
2) Ability to use batteries in car as backup for the house
3) Free parking for the wife at work
4) Free charging
5) A 0% interest loan
6) A 10 year/100K mile warranty
On a related note looks like SDG&E randomly pre selected me to be switched to a TOU plan that would have costed me almost $200 more per year based on last years usage. I called them and opted out.
