To win over shareholders, Musk came up with the concept of a “Solar Roof” that resembled a traditional rooftop shingle but could capture power from the sun.

The demos he unveiled weren’t functional, but the acquisition received approval a few weeks later.
6 months, a year, tops, going to be ramping ramping ramping production. Always ramping towards freedom!
