I like it. If you believe there is a coming paradigm shift to renewable energy and transportation electricfication then Solar City and Tesla are positioned very well in leading this shift.
Customers will be able to go into Tesla stores and purchase an EV and solar roof/battery system to charge the EV and their home. Easy to see customers buying a $35,000 Model 3 and then being sold on say a $35,000 solar roof/battery system to charge their EV and home. All in one easy no hassle stop.
Now imagine customers having an opportunity to sign up for Tesla software that will enable both partners(customer and Tesla) to sell electricity from their home roof solar/battery system back to the grid as well as using their autonomous driving EV as a driverless Uber like taxi service while they are at work, sleeping, etc. The $70,000 investment by the customer then turns into a business that may pay off the initial investment rather quickly giving them years of free car, free fuel for car and energy for house, and additional income that could be pretty substantial, pretty much a 24/hr a day uber driver without having to actually do anything as the car and software does all the work. How much demand for Tesla products will there be then? Musk envisioning a future trillion dollar market cap for Tesla is not far fetched imo. May be conservative.
