      Man he was shilling hard for that, then all of a sudden he just stopped. I read a good number of stories about the solar shingles overheating, catching fire, burning down, malfunctioning…probably related to him going silent on them.

      I’ve had my doubts about that stuff since I heard about it.

      Perhaps it’s better as a concept than it is in the real world, with real world conditions.

      Tesla solar was one of the companies, yes. GAF was also making them and I think a couple of others had them in development.
