Hey, everybody Rob Maower here and today we were talking about updates to Tesla Solar Program,

some news on Gigafactory Nevada and Model Y, price target increases

on Tesla stock, and a new firmware update.

Tesla stock on the day-to-day finished down 2.9 percent to $1,500.64 that compared to the NASDAQ down 0.7%.

All right, first up today we have news on Tesla Solar.

Tesla has again updated the pricing on their retrofit solar panel, so not the solar roof

here, at least as far as I can tell

pricing on the solar roof is a lot more variable but on the panels

Tesla has lowered the price on some versions of their solar panels and increased on

the others seemingly to offset that lower price.

Back in mid-June, Tesla had previously cut the prices of their solar offering on the panels

by about 20 to 25 percent.

That led to an after 24 percent federal tax credit incentive price range from a dollar 81 per

watt on the small size systems to a dollar 36 per watt on the largest systems.

Tesla has now updated that pricing so that it is fixed. There is no more

cheaper price for larger systems. After incentives, all systems now cost a

$1.49 per watt or $2.01 per watt before incentives, but on the smallest size systems the 4.08

kilowatt systems that is an 18% cheaper price.

That means these smaller systems are now 30 to 40 percent cheaper than they were just a couple months back.

With the new flat rate pricing, that means Tesla has raised the prices on 8, 12, and 16 kilowatt systems by 3 percent, 5 percent, and 9% respectively.

Tesla has now also moved their solar offerings

to the top of their website on their home page.
