NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tesla's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Solar Roof has become a vexation for Elon Musk, as it continues to present challenges in his vision for a one-stop-shop for a household's clean energy needs. Five years after its launch, Tesla is struggling to meet its target of more than 1000 installations per week as installation costs creep higher, not to mention the complexity of installing these solar roofs. In his frustration, Musk has replaced executives, raised prices, and gotten deeply involved in Tesla's involvement in sustainable energy. Unlike Solar Roof, companies like Northstar Clean Technologies Inc. (TSXV:ROOF), Greenlane Renewables, Inc. (TSX:GRN), Ballard Power Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:BLDP), and Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE:WM) are continuing to innovate and see positive gains within the clean tech sector.

Key Points: 
  • In his frustration, Musk has replaced executives, raised prices, and gotten deeply involved in Tesla's involvement in sustainable energy.
  • Earlier this year, the company engaged with Wellington Dupont Public Affairs to lead a government engagement for reducing single-use asphalt in Canadian landfills.
  • The company's solar storage product has also grown in popularity as the company continues to improve the efficiency of its install crew.
  • You should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements included herein, and not place undue reliance on such statements.
