Photovoltaic glass roof tiles, unveiled by Elon Musk on a Hollywood back lot as the product that would make solar "look better than a normal roof." It never scaled: Tesla missed its own installation targets by orders of magnitude, quietly stopped reporting deployment figures in 2024, and finally told installers it would no longer supply tiles. The Solar Roof page now redirects to conventional solar panels.
