Tesla’s solar roof tiles are already sold out ‘well into 2018’ - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE]After first unveiling the product last year, Tesla started taking orders with a $1,000 deposit for the first versions of its solar roof tiles earlier this month. Electrek has learned that demand exceeded expectations and that its solar roof tiles are now sold out ‘well into 2018’. ... In a note to clients about the meeting today, RBC said that Tesla is already sold out of solar roof tiles well into 2018. Electrek was able to confirm independently that Tesla’s orders over the past few weeks indeed exceeded the company’s expectations and based on their current planned production ramp up, they expect their current demand to last well into 2018. ... The deal apparently already attracted a lot of customers, but most of them will have to plan long-term to replace their roofs due to the high demand.

Not really worried about sales because of Tesla's cult-like following with high income consumers. I'm more worried about long-term sales and adoption once their real world statistics come out.

Does this say more about love for Tesla products, or Tesla's ongoing struggle to produce enough units of their products?

That seems like a small price to pay for not watching the tide consume the planet.
