How do you handle the charging?
My neighbor was an early buyer and he built his own charging station in the garage.
Later, he added solar to his house with Sun City, but that was before they were bought by Tesla and he did not get a charging station included. His power goes out with no back-up, just like regular grid users.
I was impressed by Solar City's new approach - they were commenting that Mr. Musk's first passion was to convert the world to alternate energy and solar is part of that plan.
Now Solar City has storage panels for the solar energy it produces, so that you still have power and it switches faster than your clocks and computers can shut down.
They wouldn't give a cost estimate until you set an appointment to have their technicians come out and evaluate your needs - not even ballpark.
